You forgot Nash. Open with Astle so that we can have others in the middle order. Andre Adams? Would you classify mcmillan as an allrounder if astle is one?

I guess its a test team but harris should still be considered given his amazing first class record.

So I went with

1.Astle
2.Mccullum (WK)
3.Styris
4.Mcmillan
5.Oram
6.Reid (where would he bat? im not sure)
7.Cairns
8. Vettori
9. Hadlee
10. Nash
11. Franklin

Pretty awesome team

Edit: oopps forgot lance cairns. Drop franklin then.

Would be an excellent odi team, but thats probably true for most allrounder Xi's. I think it would be a good test side too, Really Astle and mccullum would be a better test opening partnership than 90% of our history in test cricket.
