U19 12th Man
I've noticed a large number of threads dedicated to Test XI so I'm going to add to the smaller number of ODI XIs. There are some surprises and some predictable choices. Be warned, this list is a matter of personal preference.
I will start with the twelfth man before I start the list:
Shane Watson
Australia 2002-
RHB RFM
Runs - 5105
Average - 41.16
Strike Rate - 89.48
100s - 8
50s - 30
Wickets - 162
Average - 29.53
Economy - 4.83
This Australian all rounder is one of my favourite players, mainly due to his antics in the summer of 2005 for Hampshire where he recorded his highest FC score. I think he's the perfect twelfth man: an aggressive batsman at any position in the batting order (despite his technical flaws) and a stingy pace bowler who can bowl 10 inexpensive overs and take wickets when batsmen make errors. However, his jack of all trades, master of none playing style has cost him a place in the team outright.
