Sehwag
Tendulkar
Bradman
V. Richards
Tendulkar
Sobers
Gilchrist
Imran
Hadlee
Marshall
Murali

Would be relying on 10 overs from Sobers and the part-timers, but I reckon the others would make up for it. Yeah, Sachin doesn't open in Tests, but he does in ODIs, and if Shane Watson can make the move to opener, Sachin should be able to do it too :p

Would've liked to give Hobbs a go but Sehwag and Tendulkar obviously a bit more proven in the shorter formats.

Sachin's so good you're planning to clone him and play both copies? Not sure that would be fair on the opposition... :D

Surely Tendulkar deserves a place ahead of Sehwag or Greenidge or Hayden?

So majority of the people think hadlee>mcgrath?Can't agree.:huh:

I'll still go with bowling of mcgrath,marshall,akram,imran and warne with sobers for backup.

Also surprised lillee hasn't made anyone's side while lindwall and miller have.

Gilchrist,bradman,tendulkar,richards,sobers seems to have made the majority of sides though.

I think there's not much to choose between them as bowlers - perhaps McGrath slightly ahead - and Hadlee's all-round credentials make him the better pick. If you disagree, fair enough.

At No. 7? You're batting Sanga out of position in that team, aren't you? I think Gilly would be a better choice for an ATG team than Sanga.. just adds that extra bit of pure aggression and match-turning impact.

Not Terrible
Players I've seen:

Gayle
Hayden/Sehwag (choose on current form, Hayden circa 07 would clinch it though)
Kallis
Tendulkar
Lara
Gilchrist
Pollock
Bond
Steyn
Murali

Gayle is a bit underrated here imo, obviously well and truely a class below in Tests but ODI and T20 are equally important in this and the guy can destroy an attack if it goes right for him in any form of the game. Better T20 opener than any other member of the team.

Barry Richards
Shane Watson
Don Bradman
Sachin Tendulkar
Viv Richards
Steve Waugh
Adam Gilchrist
Wasim Akram
Shane Warne
Ray Lindwall
Dale Steyn

12th Man: Keith Miller

Only real question mark for me is the place of Watson. Only put him in there as he can open in all forms of the game, and with the depth of the batting line-up, consistently getting to 50 then throwing it away (hopefully) wouldn't be an issue. Also assumed he can chip in with 5-6 overs a game, giving you an extra fifth bowling option.

With the Martians playing on dusty surfaces all the time, the swing coming from Wasim, Lindwall and Steyn should cause problems. Warne is Warne, and the fifth bowler would be a combination of Waugh and Watson. Maybe a couple of overs from Viv here and there.

Match to be played at Lord's, prepared as a green top.

Whatever it takes!!!
Let me think of players who will be good in all formats (and does Sachin count, I don' think he played T20 Is anyways :p )


Just going by what the thread starter said, a team for all 3 formats with players who have played a reasonable number in all 3 formats...


Openers:

Kallis
Sehwag


Middle Order:

Ponting
KP
ABDV
Mussey


Wicket Keeper:

MSD


Spinner:

Warne


Seamers:

McGrath
Steyn
Asif



Team looks like this:


Kallis
Sehwag
Ponting
KP
ABDV
Mussey
Dhoni (c) (wk)
Warne (vc)
Steyn
McGrath
Asif



Tried to fit in Zak but cant leave out any of the othjer 3.
