All Time Country ODI Teams ?

[Pratters]

Just because he wore thick glasses and a lame winter sweater and had 50 cm thick side burns doesnt make him better than Mo Yo !!

Not a fan of Harry Potter then I assume. Like Hagrid better?

What the devil is Sunil Gavaskar doing in an all time ODI eleven ?

 

[Richard]

36*.

 

[JBMAC]

36*.

That 36 average includes some 27 50/s and at least 1/100 102 matches and 83 times at bat.So why shouldn't he be included?

He was referring to this tbh.

[Beleg]

Parsad > Zaheer, IMO.

Edit: Jadeja >> Yuvraj

Dravid up two places surely?

And agree with Yawer (^x2) that Jadeja > Yuvi. I'm presuming you're having the 1989-1999 Kumble, BTW.

How good might the famed spin-quartet bowlers have been had they played ODIs?

Not very good TBH. A couple of them, like Bedi, liked to flight the ball up pretty good and didn't mind if they were hit around for a bit...which is a fine cricketing mentality if you're a spinner but an anti-ODI mentality.

 

[Richard]

Don't reckon they'd have been able to adjust?

Derek Underwood could.

Dravid's best ODI batting came when he batted at 5. Jadeja never really did much away from home and his best years were around 96 to 98 when India didn't go on too many tours abroad either..... I think Yuvraj is much better and much more talented than Jadeja ever was.... Zaheer > Prasad because Prasad on a batting wicket was most of the time, help yourself stuff in ODIs... He had good skills but often he never really troubled the batter. I suppose his death bowling is something that should come into the picture but with Kaps and Prabhakar there, I think we have it more than covered. Plus, Zak would give variety to the bowling attack. Kapil and Zak to open followed by Srinath and Prabhakar and Kumble would make a decent bowling attack, I think.
