2nd best ODI side?

[Fuller Pilch]

It is pretty clear that Australia is no 1, but who is no2?

I'm claiming second for the Black Caps. We have 3 of the top 10 batsmen and 2 of the top 10 bowlers, including the No. 1 bowler.

Sorry meant to meant to make votes public. Can I delete?

South Africa, but NZ aren't all that far behind.

Actually, on 2nd thoughts, I'd go with SA. NZ a close third.

India depending on conditions

We lost to SA at home, so I dunno about that.

If by 'India depending on conditions' you mean a bunsen, then maybe but literally any other conditions I'd back SA over them.

How is SA a good ODI side? Score above 250 and they are out of the game.

There is a clear gulf between Australia, New Zealand and then the rest of the world.

How many teams have beaten India in India In recent times?

SA are very good in ODIs in all conditions. I think they won their last ODI series in India, UAE, Sri Lanka and NZ. Only remember them losing away to Australia, though they also beat them in a triangular tournament involving Zimbabwe.

India are the best at game-raising for important tournaments (honorable mention to Sri Lanka).

 

[91Jmay]

You still trying to push this idea Bangladesh are a good ODI side?

They lost to Zimbabwe recently.

S.A who apparently can't score over 250

Are we talking just odi series or are we talking icc events. SA the odi series team and SA the icc tournament are two totally different teams. If they play to their ability think SA is second with nz a close third. India lacks the bowling to compete imho.

South Africa, then India and then NZ

South Africa, literally 3 months ago.

NZ lost an odi to Zim in 2015 and Oz lost to them in 2014.

South Africa's problem is that Grant Elliott is a Kiwi - they are desperately crying out fo a good odi all rounder
