Earth v Rest Of The Universe at Twenty20

Barney Rubble

International Coach
World Twenty20 XI

I'm sure there have been plenty of posts like this, but I'm bored as hell, sorry.

If Earth (as reigning Universal Champions) were to play Rest Of The Universe in an intergalactic Twenty20 match, who would make up the World XI? My choices:

1. Shahid Afridi
2. Andrew Flintoff
3. Sachin Tendulkar
4. Adam Gilchrist (wk)
5. Virender Sehwag
6. Andrew Symonds
7. Ricky Ponting (c)
8. Abdur Razzaq
9. Shaun Pollock
10. Chaminda Vaas
11. Muttiah Muralitharan

On reflection, the Universe side more or less picks it itself, so I'll have a go at Earth (I'm equally bored):

Gayle
Trescothick
Sehwag
Tendulkar*
Gilchrist
Flintoff
Afridi
Pollock
Vaas
Murali
Harbhajan

Alien would certainly be an aggressive opening bat, and with Skywalker at no3 finding the gaps, you can't go wrong - presumably Yoda would keep wicket? :D

How Come Anakin's the captain?
Seeing as it's twenty20, could Chewbacca be playing and opening the batting?
Are the two at the end the same person/alien/thing?
IMO E.T is the star player, as using those extremely long index fingers, he can spin it more than Murali :D

we will have to find two neutral umpires one atleast??
How can you find two neutral umpires? If you're not from Earth but you exist, you're from the rest of the universe. No?

I don't think either Pollock or Chaminda would make especially good bowlers in the 20-over game, personally.
But given that the 20-over game is not a Earthwide phenomenon (and hopefully it might stay that way) I see little point in an excercise such as the above.
