Ok, finally in front of a proper computer, so if I haven't bored everyone enough with the wherefore and how-comes of my team, here we go.
Full team:
Justin Langer (160 runs @ 32, SR 88.88) (List A, 7603 runs @ 38.79)
Adam Gilchrist+ (9619 runs @ 35.89, S/R: 96.94)
Brad Hodge (575 runs @ 30.26, S/R 87.51) (List A, 7586 runs @ 41.22, inc. 21 centuries)
Allan Lamb (4010 runs @ 39.31, SR 75.54 - in 1980s, eqv. to higher with modern bat, boundary ropes I'd hope)
Steve Waugh* (7569 runs @ 32.9, SR 75.91. 195 wickets @ 34.67. S/R 45.5, ER: 4.56)
Scott Styris (3715 runs @ 32.56, SR 78.89. 122 wickets @ 34.49, SR 43.5, ER 4.75)
Kapil Dev (3783 runs @ 23.79, SR 95.07. 253 wickets @ 27.45, SR 44.1, ER 3.71)
Brad Hogg (790 runs @ 20.25, SR 78.68. 156 wickets @ 26.84, SR 35.6, ER 4.51)
Tony Gray (44 wickets @ 18.97. SR 28.8, ER 3.94) (List A, 128 wickets @ 23.06, SR 34.8, ER 3.96)
Shane Bond (125 wickets @ 19.32, SR 27.5, ER 4.2)
Shaun Tait (38 wickets @ 25.28, SR 28.4, ER 5.33) (List A, 139 wickets @ 22.17, SR 26.9, ER 4.93)
My team doesn't have the dazzling middle orders of some of the other teams. What it does have is hopefully a core of tough, professional, guys who reliably get the job done of batting in partnerships, keeping the scoring going at 4.5-5 an over going in Waugh, Lamb, Styris, Langer and Hodge. Providing the X-factor with the bat to transfer that solid base into a winning score, I've got two of the alltime greatest master-blasting allrounders at either end of my line-up in Gilchrist and Kapil Dev - with long careers scoring at strike rates above 90. Kapil will float in the batting line up dependent on the circumstance of the game. I'm confident that line up should be able to consistently deliver scores of 250-300.
My bowling is hopefully my teams stronger suit. I tried to avoid any straight out containment bowlers, my philosophy is that taking wickets and knocking teams over is the best way to contain their scoring. And after guys who were both tight and dangerous became scarce, that meant that I've gone for at least one risky proposition to pursue that line of thought. Shane Bond is one of the best ever ODI bowlers, he's tight, he's fast, and he takes wickets with a strike rate in the 20s. Brad Hogg isa brillant ODI spinner, who strikes in the 30s, and can be relied to rattle off 10 overs in a row being quite economical and probably taking a wicket or two. Kapil Dev was a very solid ODI bowler and was both economical and a wicket taking option. Tony Gray was one of the many great West Indian bowlers in their heyday, and whenever he got a chance he also showed he could produce his long term excellent List A form in ODIs, also striking in the 20s, while being quite economical. He'll be bowling first change after Shaun Tait however. Tait is the great gamble in my bowling attack. In his career to date he's had a strike rate in the 20s, and has repeatedly torn the head off batting line ups. He regularly produces unplayable deliveries that dislodge the best batsmen. The flipside is that he's expensive and when he has a bad day, its a shocker. My strategy to manage this would be that he bowls short spells, a la WC2007, and if he hasn't met with success after 3-4 overs, he takes a shower for the day and my much more steady, albeit less dangerous, 6th and 7th bowlers, Steve Waugh and Scott Styris bowl out his overs. A quality 6th option is essential for a team, to cover a bowler having a shocker. I opted for Styris to provide a 7th option in recognition that Tait, if he doesn't provide a match-winning shift in momentum for me early in the innings or coming back near the end, might be a problem. That redundancy makes me comfortable about having Tait in my team, and to a degree the less proven Gray as well. On the flip side, if Tait and Bond fire together, followed by Hogg bowling to batsmen fresh to the crease and under scoring pressure, I'll regularly bowl teams out within 40 overs.
Steve Waugh is my captain, and he'll perfectly embody the tough, never-say-die, attitude I hope my team has.
The one selection I'd probably change is Hodge - I had a minor brain explosion having previously decided to take Damien Martyn, having thought of Hodge as a possible bargain for rounds 10 or 11. For some reason, when my turn came, I blanked and picked Hodge. He's no slouch, and will get the job done, but there were probably better options. I've explained above my rationale for selecting Langer - once Gambhir was gone, there were always more pressing holes than the second opener, given I thought Langer would still be available at the end. All that said, this team was more about a team of players I like and a style I like, rather than stressing too much about always finding the best available player. I love the team and would back it to win slightly more than its share against most of the teams here.
I agree with the point that you can't pick guys on List A records, but in the case of some of my guys who I think did show that they could succeed well at ODI level, but have limited records, I've included their List A records to show that they do/did possess a consistency of performance as well.

Come on guys I wanted my the final pick before Jamee gets his internet back and takes the team back and picks Tim Ambrose as the keeper. Come on guys.
Gough has one hour and forty left before Corrin can go.

Continuing in picking what I believe to be 'interesting' players, I select Ottis Gibson
He isnt a player I need but he brings some things to the table.
1. Davison
2. Clive Rice
3. Hussey
4. Dravid
5. Hick
6. RtD
7. Klusener
8. Hadlee
9. Gibson
10. Hendrick
11. McDermott
A diverse group that has 8 bowling options and can slaughter or stonewall.

Interesting side it has to be said. Corrin up.
GIMH
Norwood's on Fire
My final XI:
Trescothick
Afridi
Ahmed
Bevan
Amla
Fairbrother
Stewart
Pollock*
Broad
Willis
Malinga
Have decided to make Pollock the captain in spite of his infamous ****-up. Have hopefully got a decent range of players in the team, two aggressive yet different openers, a decent middle order which includes the greatest finisher in the history of the game. Bowling picks a little risky, not much in the way of part-time options and Broad & Malinga probably wouldn't have been picked by many, yet are both excellent ODI bowlers IMO.
We'll see, expect that I won't poll many votes but will do okay in a sim
I've clearly picked too many Englishmen, mind, though I doubt many would argue with Tresco or Fairbrother

I'll sort out Dazza first, then 999ers. Navjot Sidhu, should be good partner for Jayasuriya. Good at rotating the strike like Atapattu, but also can hit out like Kalu, but for a bit longer.
1. Sanath Jayasuriya
2. Navjot Sidhu
3.Ricky Ponting
4.Inzamam Ul-Haq
5.Ramneresh Sarwan
6.Andy Flower (WK)
7.Adbul Razzaq
8.Daniel Vettori
9.Chaminda Vaas
10.Ajit Agarkar
11.Makhaya Ntini

Jaffna 999ers
1. Herschelle Gibbs
2. Virender Sehwag
3. Dean Jones
4. Mohammad Azharuddin
5. Arjuna Ranatunga (c)
6. Ajay Jadeja
7. Brad Haddin (wk)
8. Chris Harris
9. Michael Holding
10. Shoaib Akhtar
11. Glenn McGrath
Was a toss up bit a slogging keeper batsmen that opens and a middle lower order hitter. We need one more cheat in the side, so I went with Brad Haddin. But really he was picked for balance. With Gibbs and Sehwag our top order was fine and I'm not a big fan of playing my top players out of position in Gibbs and Azhar. The side need a lower order hitter for the batting power play. Haddin also has the best batting average of the keeper left and strike rate of 80. He is modern keeper batsmen that all ODI sides need.
Strengths Jamee's players, weakness my players.
Nah Jamee picked up some very good specialist. I think the middle order up their with the best around and batting down to eight we have some good depth. Three good strike bowlers, but the 4th and 5th bowling options are a bit below par. I see Harris as a 5th bowlers at this level and well 10 overs from Ranatunga, Sehwag and Jadeja could/will be cannon flodder.
In my defence there was no all rounders left of any real quality. So it was either picking a bits and pieces player or bowling all rounder instead of Jadeja.
Decent side considering the amount of rounds missed.
