The normal awards that everyone else has
Bevan's average has never impressed me as much as it has others, when you factor in his not outs. As I've said before, I just prefer Hussey in that role.

Always hard to pick between Bevan and Hussey but from memory Bevan frustrated me a bit when batting first. Without a target he just seemed to bat a bit slower than I'd have liked. On the other hand when chasing he just made you feel everything was in control. In today's conditions I'm sure Bevan would have been able to rain 6s and 4s when required with the best of them. Today, I choose Bevan.

In an all time team Jones is gold. If he was in with Gilchrist, Ponting or Symonds having a day there'd be no better batsman to turn the strike over at a run a ball to keep them blazing away.

Much as he’s widely despised on here, what was Kamran Akmal’s record on ODIs like? I rate Moin very highly, mind you, but I wonder if Akmal might offer more with the bat. Then again you have to put up with his keeping, so there is that.
Also, would Razzaq be worth a shout in place of MoYo? Extra bowler, bigger hitter in that spot in the order. Or maybe run with another opener and move afridi into the middle order?

Plus, he’s really really good at riding on other people’s coat tails and making a career of some note from it.

I feel like Shoaib has to be added which means youve got 5 absolute quality bowlers. I included Majid Khan who is also a 6th bowling option ahead of Sohail, Butt, Hafeez and possibly Iman Ul Haq (who I rate highly, but is new).

Fair bit weaker in batting than most others but bowling makes up for it

Good team and very hard to argue with any of the selections. I would say 10 of the 11 seem certainties.
Nuwan Kulasekara is the most under pressure and in half the world, you'd probably go for a spinner instead. Either one of those mid 90s spinners such as Chandana (or maybe Dharmasena) or potentially Ajantha Mendis who's 150 wickets at under 22 is tough to ignore. Thisara Perera from the current team is in the mix too as the team could really use his late order hitting.
EDIT: Maybe I would drop Mahela and bring in the big hitter in Thisara Perera and go for an extra spinner too. Again Mendis record is great, but I want to pick Chandana.
1 Dilshan
2 Jayasuriya
3 Sangakkara
4 de Silva
5 Ranatunga
6 Mathews
7 Thisara
8 Chandana
9 Vaas
10 Malinga
11 Muralitharan
There is 9/10 bowling options in that team and there is a good mix of fast scoring bats and accumulators.

Chandana being in a any All Time XI is filthy
NUFAN

Chandana is without doubt the best fieldsman in the XI which is pretty important.
With 9-11 bowling 30 overs it means there are only 20 overs to bowl between Chandana, Thisara, Jayasuriya, Dilshan and Aravinda. Chandana is more of a pick for sub-cont - if the match was played in Australia he'd be less appealing.

Nearly the whole team can bowl. Nearly the whole team can bat. Decent ODI side in that sense.
When I started it I assumed it'd be full of 90s players but cult heroes like Murray Goodwin and Dave Houghton are inferior in both average and strike rate to Williams and Raza so can't really justify their selection

I think a lot of those 90s players were much better. Houghton and Goodwin certainly were. Comparing their stats isn't fair because Zimbabwe played much better teams in the 90s than they have in the last decade. These days i reckon at least half of their games have been against other minnows.

Yeah not bad.
I'll go with:
ZIM
1 G Flower
2 A Campbell
3 D Houghton
4 A Flower
5 B Taylor
6 N Johnson
7 T Taibu
8 H Streak
9 P Strang
10 E Brandes
11 H Olonga
I like Cremer but I am certain that Strang was better and Olonga was a better bowling option over Blignaut too. In fact Chatara would be my next quick.
