On flat Indian pitches. His record is miserable in England, Australia and South Africa.

Decent batting but expect the bowling to get carted around a fair bit when facing batsmen of ATG caliber.

[Prince EWS]

This will be a surprise pick to most given I already have a deep batting lineup but I'm going to pick Andrew Hall. He was a tremendously under-rated ODI player in general, particularly as a bowler, and in fact I regard him right up there as a great death bowler. He's probably not going to win me too many votes, but I think it'll improve my side to have a specialist end of innings bowler to call upon.

1. Greenidge
2. Knight
3. Kallis
4. Lamb
5. Thorpe
6. Cairns
7. Kapil
8.
9. Hall
10. Swann
11. de Villiers

Good team Cribb. Among others, Fanie de Villiers is an interesting choice. He was quite an underrated bowler and better in limited overs than tests iirc.

I didn't pick the first half of my team myself or I would've liked another specialist seamer or a more aggressive top three batsman instead of ending with Kapil and Cairns, plus Greenidge and Knight, especially in combination with Kallis who's a anchor batsman and a fifth bowler himself anyway, but I've still essentially made it a Cribbite one day team from there with five frontline bowlers, four of which can bat down the order.

I've always liked that idea of picking bowling allrounders in ODI cricket from #7 (or #6 if you can find one good enough to bat ahead of the keeper) down to #9 who can just finish off the innings with some aggressive batting and then bowl out without worrying about part-timers having to make up ten somewhere. Part-timers IMO should be used if a bowler if having an off day or the pitch is really favouring a particular bowling style; they shouldn't be part of Plan A.

Nice one, mate. Remember Harris always being a pain in the ass in middle overs.
