Jimmy Cliff Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Kallis at 6 is a joke. Dhoni should bat at 6 with Klusener or Symonds at 7. sandeep, Ankit_sharma03 and Turning_track 3 Link to comment
velu Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 7. MS Dhoni Dhoni has the strength of an ox, the alacrity of a cat, and a technique all his own. He hits sixes as lustily as he steals singles nimbly, and has turned finishing-line manoeuvres into a party trick - none as famous as the straight six for the 2011 World Cup. Besides, no other keeper has 100 stumpings in one-day cricket. Did you know? Dhoni has remained unbeaten in 44 winning chases, the highest in ODI history. Jonty Rhodes is next with 33. who wrote this ? JaFanatic, G_B_ and Turning_track 1 1 1 Link to comment
rkt.india Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Where is Brett Lee? No fast bowler has more 5-fers than him in ODIs, no bowler has better SR and average combination than him after taking 350 plus wickets and he played most of his cricket in 2000s and not 90s.

Turning_track Posted June 18, 2018 Author Share Posted June 18, 2018 Kallis doesn't warrant a place at no.6 who is never known for his SR, but the experts have put him as the 5th bowling option. Dhoni should've got a better partner down there like Bevan. Link to comment
Lala Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 How come Gilliy, AB & Dhoni into that list not crossing 10000 runs as batsmen? I put Inzi, Ganguly, Sanga, Ponting, Jayasuriya & Waqar into my list. They are pure ODI players. There are plenty of players for ODI. Therefore it needs to create 2 lists. Link to comment

How many matches has he played? If you are saying Klusner is suitable I can say Afridi is 10 times more suitable than trundler klusner for no 6 spot as a pinch hitter + wicket taker (pure all rounder) Link to comment
Rasgulla Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 sachin ? This team isn't playing against namibia is it ? Jayasuriya, Hayden, Dhawan.. Anyone over him Lala, Switchblade and manu4411 1 1 1 Link to comment
Lala Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 To me, there are lot of underrated players who would have been picked for another list likes of Dravid, Anwer, Yusuf, Jayawardene, Symonds, De Silva, Vittori, Hayden, Yuvraj, Benvan, Hussey, Clarke, Malinga, Kumble, Gayle, Gibbs, Kirsten, Vaas, Fleming, etc who served well to their country during last 25 years in ODIs. Criteria is more than 5000 runs scored and 300+ wickets taken. Rasgulla 1 Link to comment

Gollum Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 (edited) Won't have MSD when Gilly is already there. Ponting over Kohli because I prefer big match players, plus he plays as captain. Kallis is a joke selection, bring in Symonds or Yuvi (depending on conditions) in place of him. Dhoni ke jagah Flintoff and Saqlain in place of Murali. My XI will be: Gilly (wk) SRT Ponting (c) Lara ABDV Yuvi/Symonds Flintoff Akram Warne Saqlain Mcgrath Edited June 18, 2018 by Gollum Rasgulla 1 Link to comment
Sooda Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Kallis is not a bad pick ; cant have a side bristling with shot makers an anchor type batsman is useful. Obviously he cant bat at 6. Put him at 3 and push everyone down a slot I think Ponting in, maybe for Lara, Shaun Pollock merits serious consideration too. Link to comment

Playing Sachin and his tuk taking means lower order power of ABd and Dhoni will be wasted. I'll drop Tendy, ask Kallia to open and bring in another all rounder at 7 That way you have solid batting and 6 proper bowlers Sachin is tuk tuk and Kallis isnt. I must have watched cricket in some other universe. Number, SK_IH, Pollack and 6 others 1 8 Link to comment

LOL Tendulkar, Lara, Kohli, AB, Dhoni are all long innings players with high average and SR. They are as reliable as Kallis if not more. Just that they can score much faster than Kallis. Shot making and anchoring/consistency are not mutually exclusive. Link to comment
