    All time best ODI team

    Even for a Pak XI, no place for Imran at No. 3 when players like Miandad are in the team.

    All time best ODI team

    Great team! The only change I would like to make is Klusener in place of Imran, because of his great ability as a finisher and his all-round capabilities.

    RIP Richie Benaud

    Richie, haven't seen you play, but have listened to your commentary. It was so elegant. You were a wonderful human being...you will stay in our hearts forever. RIP

    All time best ODI team

    The point that I am trying to make is that the those two guys have performed against better teams, which is a reflection of their talent. Not saying Shakib is not talented, but unless he does it against the big boys, he will not be counted in the same league.

    All time best ODI team

    What if he is unable to sustain his form like those guys have for most part of their career? Would you still consider him for an all time best team simply because he is a left-arm?

    Starc is too young for an All time ODI XI

    All time best ODI team

    Shakib has scored approx. 45% of his runs against minnows, compared to Flintoff's approx. 17% and Klusener's 13%. In bowling more than 47% of Shakib'swickets are against minnows compared to Flintoff's approx. 20% and Klusener's 12.5%. I think that gives a fair idea of who would be a better...

    He hasn't been too impressive against top teams. More, so we are talking about an "All Time Best ODI team," so people who have performed consistently for a very long time get preference.

    All time best ODI team

    I would prefer a Symonds/Klusener/Freddie in place of Shakib, Have AB keep the wickets and get Kallis in to strengthen the bowling & batting. Also, would like to see Viv at 3, Kallis at 4, followed by AB at 5.

    All time best ODI team

    I think we need to put things in perspective to understand the whole thing. Wahab was let down big time by his mates. Had that catch been taken, it would have been a different story. The cut which he played without looking at the ball tells a different story. It's clear that he doesn't like the...

    I think Maxwell would struggle, especially if he starts facing chin music. We saw what Wahab Riaz did to him in the WC.

    Great side, though I would love to make a couple of changes. AB/ Ponting in place of Jones & a holding/Donald in place of Garner.

    All time best ODI team

    For most part of his career have seen him bat at 3 or 4; haven't seen him open the innings. But checked the stats, and I must say, his record is impressive. Agree with you, he will be a good choice for an opener. Thanks for sharing the info!

    My chasing XI would be: Gilchrist Sehwag Ponting Kohli Bevan Dhoni Klusener Akram Ambrose McGrath Murali And the ATG Setting up XI: Gayle Tendulkar Richards ABDV Hussey Symonds S. Pollock Lee Saqlain Waqar Holding

    Awesome! I will only replace Garner, as he is similar to McGrath and have a Holding/Donald/Ambrose in his place.:thumbup:

    Good one! Look at that batting line-up. Feel pity for the opposition bowlers. They are going to be mercilessly thrashed all around the park. If at all, there is slight room for a change, its Lee. A curtly Ambrose can probably replace him. :thumbup:
