Playing Selector: Dream ODI XI

i would have loved to have hadlee in place of mcgrath; same class of bowling but 20 odd runs more as a batsman.
Disagree to an extent. On bowling alone I'd say McGrath is better than Hadlee. Not too many can match the guy.

the voting has been brisk. about 60 votes have come in already for all the polls. looks like the leaders in each poll will get into the team easily. not much confusion in any of the polls.

the last TWO players can be chosen in this poll:

besides the brisk voting, my work is getting tighter from tomorrow. so wrapping up this thread as quickly as I can. will be stopping this the extra marital affair I am having with CW, for a few months

That's a shame, you're a top poster.

Regardless of who gets in in the final poll (and it's looking pretty certain it will be Kluesener and Pollock or Symonds), this is a pretty kick-ass team.

thank mate. that is very kind of you.

As per current standings in the last poll, this is the team CW has selected to represent them in ODIs

Sachin Tendulkar
Adam Gilchrist (wk)
Viv Richards
Ricky Ponting
Michael Bevan
Andrew Symonds
Lance Klusener
Wasim Akram
Muralitharan
Joel Garner
Glen McGrath


12th man: Shaun Pollock
If the last few votes go Pollock's way please someone change the team accordingly. See you all after my shoot schedule in a few months.

Remember:
Kallis is boring.
Lara > Sachin > Ponting

I can't believe I ate the whole thing
My Dream XI (as I chose in the polls)

1. Sanath Jayasuriya
2. Nathan Astle
3. Aravinda de Silva
4. Paul Collingwood
5. Michael Bevan
6. Chris Cairns
7. Imran Khan
8. Richard Hadlee
9. Wasim Akram
10. Muttiah Muralitharan
11. Joel Garner

Since Gilchrist was the popular choice there wasn't a WK poll...so would replace Cairns or Imran with Dhoni.

Think this is exactly the team I voted for, or at least very close to it. It's pretty much as good as it can get, I reckon. Top quality batsmen down to number 7, while Wasim's obviously no mug. The bowling the strongest suit though, with 4 absolutely top class bowlers, and Klusener and Symonds to fill in the rest. Really happy with it, the only weak link being that numbers 9-11 are all pretty terrible with the bat, but I couldn't really see teams getting that many wickets, and I'd back the bowlers to defend pretty much any total anyway.

Ponting to captain as well, obvs.
