ICC Teams of the decade

[aussie tragic]

As already said, Sanga as test keeper of the decade is a disgrace. Should be selected from one of these Keepers with most dismissals in the decade

1. Watling - 62T, 239D (231c, 8st)
2. de Kock - 45T, 202D (191c, 11st)
3. Bairstow - 48T, 181D (169c, 12st)
4. Sarfaraz Ahmed - 48T, 163D (142c, 21st)
5. Haddin - 35T, 151D (146c, 5st)
6. Prior - 40T, 142D (133c, 9st)
7. Dhoni - 37T, 126D (113c, 13st)
8. Paine - 27T, 123D (117c, 6st)

Edit: updated to ICC voting period of 1 Jan 2011 to 7 Oct 2020

 

[OverratedSanity]

Watling still massively underrated

 

[Flem274*]

Or ABDV or Mushfiqur Rahim

 

[trundler]

Watling walks in. Series defining knocks in UAE and SL in addition to all the runs he makes at home. And he's probably the best keeper in the world too. Bloke's an ATG keeper-bat for me.

 

[Red]

Here's my versions:

Test
Cook
Warner
Williamson
Smith
Younis
Kohli
Watling +
Ashwin
Cummins
Steyn
Rabada

ODI
Sharma
Warner
Kohli
Root
DeVilliers
Shakib
Buttler +
Jadeja/Holder
Starc
Boult
Bumrah

Why is everyone just accepting Stokes in the ODI team. You’re basically picking him to average 40 with the bat which is hardly so outstanding it demands selection. His bowling is a liability. Surely you don’t make a team of the decade because you have a second skill that you can do badly.

 

[trundler]

Shakib is clearly the pick of the all-rounders but not really a number 7. That's the issue I think.

 

[morgieb]

Ajmal trumps every other spinner.

At throwing the ball perhaps.....

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Here's my versions:

Test
Cook
Warner
Williamson
Smith
Younis
Kohli
Watling +
Ashwin
Cummins
Steyn
Rabada

ODI
Sharma
Warner
Kohli
Root
DeVilliers
Shakib
Buttler +
Jadeja/Holder
Starc
Boult
Bumrah

Two great sides (better than the ICC) but Taylor for Root in ODIs.

 

[Gnske]

Lmao I can't believe they made Sanga keeper. It's like the one thing when we've done these threads for best players of the decade you universally get **** on for doing.

 

[Daemon]

Sanga has a much better claim to being the keeper bat for the ODI team actually.

I'd personally put both him and Buttler ahead of Dhoni.

 

[subshakerz]

Stuart Broad, really? Would choose Philander over him easily.

Test XI

Sanga

A cheat, fantastic

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Was interesting to watch McCullum say Boult and Southee should have been in the test team ahead of Anderson and Broad today. Pretty mis-guided one-eyedness I think ... those guys have produced in Australia in at least one test series, unlike our two.

Watling for the test team and Taylor in the ODI side are the two I'm outraged about!
