i am leaving imran out since he is already in

Edit: I've removed my explanation for leaving inzy out since it is wrong reasoning as steve has moved ahead of him in the race. all i can say is, please dont vote for steve waugh in this poll. he is probably going to make it at 5

gwo · 11-06-2008, 09:58 PM

Symonds is the clear standout...

as much as people hate him here...

Average of 96.25 striking @ 93.90 says **** off, no.6 in the world cup dream XI is mine bitches.

Ikki · 11-06-2008, 10:22 PM

The head says Symonds but the heart says Bevan.

bagapath · 11-06-2008, 10:48 PM

listen to your head. i am going to listen to mine and go for symonds (my heart says lloyd)

bond21 · 12-06-2008, 12:19 AM

why is steve waugh in the poll?

hes already in the team.

Anyway Symonds, obvious choice. He dominated Pakistan in 2003 and hasnt looked back from there

ret · 12-06-2008, 08:54 AM

Bevan

sunilreddy · 12-06-2008, 09:22 AM

Symonds voted for Fairbrother

silentstriker · 12-06-2008, 09:38 AM

Bevan not being in the team would be pretty ridiculous.

PhoenixFire · 12-06-2008, 10:29 AM

Lol, with Bevan >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Symonds. Bevan is class, Symonds isn't.

... Symonds is a class one-day cricketer and a top world cup one. Not sure how you could dispute that.

bond21 · 12-06-2008, 01:02 PM

Symonds isnt "classy" but he is brute force.

Bevan couldnt hit boundaries like Symonds does.

morgieb · 12-06-2008, 09:35 PM

Dravid, Symonds, and Bevan would all be up there.

He's in my brainwashing program.

Can't believe I'm voting against Bevan being included in a one-day team, but especially when you are comparing WC performances rather than overall career, Symonds is the man. More explosive, and since he's matured, quite capable of mounting a rescue. Plus he's a much better fielder and also a better bowling option.
