Long tail for the ODI team - Trent Boult at 7!?! AB de Villiers batting ahead of Ross Taylor??

They clearly don't like picking allrounders

It is like they put Amla in the ODI team because he didn't make the test team. Dilshan has to be in the ODI team bcos no one else in the top 6 bowls except Steve Smith.

 

[Coronis]

Smitteh and Boult the only ones in both teams, WAGs.

Why not a T20 team of the year, surely a minor affront to that format of the game.
