[OverratedSanity]

Ricky Ponting (Aus)

Sir Len Hutton (c)
Virender Sehwag
Ricky Ponting
Hamilton Masakadza
Younis Khan
Keith Miller (4)
Rajin Saleh (wk)
Michael Holding (1)
Trent Boult (3)
Neil Adcock (2)
Mutthiah Muralitharan (5)

Eh, it's an all right team but could've done way better. Batting's really shallow.

 

[NZTailender]

Desmond Haynes

NZTailenders's 100% Natural Good-Time Family Band Solution XI
1. Tamim Iqbal (Bang)
2. Desmond Haynes (WI)
3. Mohammed Yousuf (Pak)
4. Mahela Jayawardene (SL)
5. Andy Flower+* (Zim)
6. VVS Laxman (Ind)
7. Aubrey Faulkner (5) (RSA)
8. Chris Cairns (4) (NZ)
9. Alan Davidson (2) (Aus)
10. Joel Garner (1) (WI)
11. Bob Willis (3) (Eng)

Quite happy with my side. Strong if unspectacular batting line up that goes right to 9, with Flower taking the captaincy and the gloves. The bowling is very attacking, with most of the bowlers incl. the spinner Faulkner with a strike rate in the low 50s.

 

[mr_mister]

thanks NZT for continiously updating this thing

Thanks for getting the ball rolling and starting it and the ODI in the first place. For some reason I enjoy picking 1 from each nation moreso than the other drafts.

What the **** is with Rajin keeping?

 

[OverratedSanity]

Was hoping nobody would notice

As I said, didn't put much thought into this at all

I'd give Hamilton the gloves

 

[Prince EWS]

Well in all the 443 matches he's played that are on cricketarchive, he did actually keep in two of them! So at least he's done it at some point.

 

[Prince EWS]

Younis was actually picked as Pakistan's first choice keeper in ODIs for a little while so he'd be my pick from that team.

Where is the keeper?

 

[OverratedSanity]

Where is the keeper?

Ha. you only noticed it because Pews said it. Admit it. I almost got away with it.

 

[mr_mister]

I was going to have Dravid keep at one point in this team ha.

I choose Clarrie Grimmett. Pretty decent player to still be around at this stage.


Greenidge
Dilshan
Dravid
Hammond (4)
Inzamam
Ashraful
Taibu +
Hadlee (1)
Lindwall (2)
Grimmett (5)
Ntini (3)


Haven't decide on a captain yet. Ashraful going by his average probably deserved to bat 9 in this team... though he did score 6 tons. Strong batting, strong bowling, fair few superstars in there. I'm happy with it.

 

[OverratedSanity]

I'd give Hamilton the gloves

Well in all the 443 matches he's played that are on cricketarchive, he did actually keep in two of them! So at least he's done it at some point.

Yeah, I was thinking Hamilton.

Its funny because when I picked Rajin, I just cbf with the draft... just sorted bangaldeshi batting averages on cricinfo and picked one which looked good. It was only after I picked him and realised I didn't have enough batsmen that I went **** it, Rajin will keep.

 

[Prince EWS]

Yeah, I was thinking Hamilton.

Hamilton has actually never ever kept in a match that's listed on cricketarchive. At least Rajin had those two games.

It's gotta be Younis IMO.

and you would have got away with it if it wasn't for that pesky Cribb

 

[OverratedSanity]

He'll have to keep to Murali too. Not the ideal scenario to be making your debut with the gloves

 

[NZTailender]

Rajin Saleh was an absolute gun in one of my ICC games. Locked down number 4 for a good while.

 

[Prince EWS]

He averaged over 30 in Tests after quite a few games; looked really good against Australia too. He lost all confidence though... he's still not that old - should be in his prime at 31 - but they've already tried the "give Rajin a recall randomly" thing and it didn't work out.

 

[Agent TBY]

I choose Clarrie Grimmett.

aaaaaa

I ****ing knew Aldo choosing Benaud would do this to me.
