ODI ATG XIs

I can't believe I ate the whole thing
Bond ineligible for the 2000s ATG side? SR of 29, econ 4.something iirc. Average of 20. That's nuts.

Correct. Were it not for Imran’s 70 odd in the 92 final, King would have been in with a shot at making the all rounder spot in my definitive ATG XI posted yesterday.

Unfortunately we can’t discuss this further, because after I posted that XI, the thread was closed.
Imran was pretty poor with the ball in the final though. Will that be held against him ?

Yeah Flintoff wasn't at his best as a lower order batsman was he?

Weird to put Yuvi in a 2000s XI.

If you have a 2005ish-2011 XI then you have a case.
While looking at the players records by runs scored in that decade, I saw Yuvraj somewhere in the top 10. Others around him were Dravid, Kallis, Jayawardene. Symonds did not cross my mind at that stage. Yes, he is better from all fronts.

Flintoff batted mostly at 5 and 6. Averaged 46 at a strike rate of 94 at #5 ! Was poor at # 6 though.

NO, because he's there as an allrounder and he excelled in one discipline on the day. Got the job done. As Benny Elias would say, this isn't rocket surgery.
