Dont rate Gilchrists wicket keeping very highly?

Boucher and Sangakarra are both better.

Agreed, but not sure if the differance is worth having another Keeper unless you wanted them in their as batsmen.
Which is fine if thats what he wants
Boucher and Sangakkara have high strike rates in the shortened version of the game. Hence I would pick them for Batting as well at 6 or 7 in 20/20 and Gilly purely as a batsman at the top of the innings.Agreed, but not sure if the differance is worth having another Keeper unless you wanted them in their as batsmen.

When he is fit , he can be a very miserly bowler and when his batting Clicks he is certainly a valuable asset in any 20/20 Team.

When Glenn McGrath's batting clicks, he can make 50 in a test, still wouldnt open with him.

Boucher no way, Sangakarra & him though is very debatable.

Here'e my pick:
1. S Jayasuriya
2. A Gilchrist (k)
3. R Ponting (c)
4. K Pietersen
5. M Hussey (can't believe ppl hav overlooked him so far)
6. A Symonds
7. S Afridi
8. A Flintoff
9. S Pollock
10. S Bond
11. M Muralitharan
Bond, Polly to open and Bond & Freddie to close out. The triumvirate of Murali, S Afridi, S Jayasuriya to strangle the middle order with Symonds to provide some extra medium pace if the pitch is lively.
In the batting stakes you have the explosive Jaya & Gilly to get things going, Punter, Pietersen & Hussey (arguably the three best ODI batters in the world) with the big hitters following them if required.

Most of the batsmen are stoke makers, but they can prove inconsistant. I would have more players that are succesful in 50 over cricket, like a Ponting. I don't see the point in doing this not taking into consideration, their current form becuase all top order batsmen in good form could smash it.

i see some people picking both dohni and gilly.. what is the point of having two wicket keepers.. gilly is better so he should be in the team and Gayle should be in for dohni as he is clearly better than Dohni

How is Gayle 'clearly' better than Dhoni as far as slam bang cricket goes? There is no way Razzaq would make even a World 3rd XI at this point of time.
