What would your side look like as an ODI team? Probably what mine would look like: 1.AN Petersen 2.HM Amla 3.MW Goodwin 4.AC Voges (6) 5.N Deonarine 6.PD Trego (5) 7.GO Jones + 8.DL Vettori (4) 9.DG Wright (2) 10.SR Clark (3) 11.M Ntini (1) Wasn't really sure between Petersen and Di Venuto. Both are pretty balls at limited overs.
1. Adrian Barath 2. Khurram Manzoor 3. Younis Khan 4. Cheteshwar Pujara 5. JP Duminy 6. Ryan Hinds 7. Tatenda Taibu + 8. Ajmal Shahzad 9. Imran Khan 10. Mohammad Amir 11. Ian O'Brien
Haha, that is a bad ODI side indeed. Mine would be Peter Ingram Sanath Jayasuria Mark Cosgrove Samit Patel Anthony McGrath Sam Wells Prasaana Jayawardene Ian Blackwell Jerome Taylor Shane Bond Michael Mason Plenty of good bowling there, including an ODI all time great in Bond. My batting could be better, because apart from Jayasuria all of those batsmen are gun in FC but average to crap in List A. Wells has been rubbish in his two List A matches but judging by the way he plays in FC his batting is perfectly suited to limited overs cricket.
Pretty much the same as mine. My first 4 bowlers are ****ing gun but apart from Amla, Goodwin and Voges the batting is pretty weak.
Mine'd be pretty similar. 1. Abhinav Mukund 2. Usman Khawaja 3. Azhar Ali 4. AB de Villiers*+ 5. Yuvraj Singh 6. Hasan Raza 7. Abhishek Nayar 8. Darren Sammy 9. Clint McKay 10. Suraj Randiv 11. Lonwabo Tsotsobe I'd probably open with Khawaja instead and bring in Ojha or Peterson for Nayar or Sammy. They're all pretty crappy at OD cricket, but they're all econical, besdies Nayar. EDIT: Actually I'd keep it as it is besdies changing the order a touch. Singh can bowl a couple of overs.
ME Trescothick CD Cumming DM Bravo CJ Ferguson JEC Franklin (5) MS Dhoni (+) Mahmudullah (5) Sohail Tanvir (2) BW Hilfenhaus (3) Pankaj Singh/SMSM Senanayake (4) SL Malinga (1) Pretty handy IMO
1. Gayle (6) 2. Strauss 3. Jayawardene 4. Tiwary 5. Bell 6. Patel 7. Rana (5) 8. Ahmed (3) 9. Rehman (4) 10. Adams (2) 11. Tait (1)
I reckon my side as it is would probably be my best OD side, but I'd be tempted to put this side out, mostly because I don't like Rashid as a one day player. 1. Murali Vijay 2. Steve Davies + 3. Aijinkya Rahane 4. James Taylor 5. Michael Clarke (6) 6. Jonathan Vandiar 7. Ryan McLaren (2, death) 8. JJ van der Wath (3) 9. Alfonso Thomas (4) 10. Morne Morkel (1, death) 11. Imran Tahir (5)
1. Tamim Iqbal 2. Ryan Broad 3. Rilee Rossouw 4. Michael Yardy 5. Ravindra Jadeja [5] 6. Brendon McCullum [WK] 7. Justin Kemp [6] 8. Joginder Sharma [3] 9. Rangana Herath [4] 10. Kemar Roach [2] 11. Shoaib Akhtar [1]
Simon Katich Michael Klinger Mark Ramprakash Ravi Bopara (5) Vaughn Van Jaarsveld Chris Nash (6) James Foster Rana Naved-ul-Hasan (2) Murali Kartik (3) Seekkuge Prassana (4) James Anderson (1)
Jaques Jacobs Haddin Kallis Dippenaar Bravo Oram Ashwin Kumar Bracken Bollinger or something similar.
