Let's just say the names were player a,b,c.

I agree that Imran's stats are the worst out of the three. High number of not-outs inflate average, and SR is below Kapil and Pollock.

Plus, Klusener can't play spin? Utter tripe.

As I've always said, we should've had Lara opening with Tendulkar, and should've picked Dhoni as the wicketkeeper.

You obviously didn't watch the video harsh, because if you did you'd see Klusener clueless against Warne et al.

The title is sarcastic because everyone knows he picked Warne about as 'well' as Daryl Cullinan.

The team already selected makes it difficult to pick Klusener at 7 due to the lack of other bowling options. Lara at 5 was a big mistake imo. Anyway I'll go with the following two as they probably make the most sense balance wise:

Michael Bevan
Imran Khan

He's a hell of a lot closer to that then Gilchrist is to being a top rank opening batsman.

Bevan and Imran.

I know Imran would be in your team if there were no balance issues at all

Himannv · 15-02-2013, 07:39 AM

With the benefit of hindsight, I reckon we should have gone with the following:

01. Sanath Jayasuriya
02. Sachin Tendulkar
03. Viv Richards
04. Dean Jones
05. Andrew Symonds
06. MS Dhoni+
07. Lance Klusener
08. Shaun Pollock
09. Wasim Akram
10. Joel Garner
11. Muralitharan

11. Muralitharan

That's a good side balance-wise even if you replace Jones and Symonds there with batsman ABC and batsman XYZ respectively.
