Sooda Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 As most of you know I like nothing better than dreaming up cricket 'All time XIs' So I thought of trying to come up with two equally matched one day sides to play each other, major proviso being each team needs at least one and a maximum of two players from each test playing nation My effort: Team 1: Sachin Tendulkar, Saeed Anwar, Kumar Sangakarra ©, Brian Lara, Kevin Pietersen, A B De Villiers (wk), Shakib Ul Hasan, Richard Hadlee, Heath Streak, Shane Warne, Joel Garner Team 2: Sanath Jayasuriya, Marcus Trescothick, Ricky Ponting, Hashim Amla, Vivian Richards, M S Dhoni (c and wk), Dan Vettori, Wasim Akram, Paul Strang, Curtly Ambrose, Mashrafe Mortaza Link to comment
Sooda Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 Paul Strang?Why not Murali? a) I need a Zimb in team 2 and b) Sanath is my team 2 Lankan :D Also that would probably make team 2 bowing line up a bit stronger than team 1 Remember both sides need to be equally matched and have at least one and max of two players from test playing nations Link to comment

Each team has one from each of the ten test playing nations and two WIndians Anyway I had failed my own challenge by not having a Pakistani in my Team 1- HAHA -:P Duly edited Ya got it. So basically a team must have 9 players of 9 different nations and 2 payers of the tenth test paying nation. From the OP, I thought we can have a combination such as 5*2 +1 Link to comment
Sooda Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 ^ Thats it. So many possible combos, makes it interesting. I think Link to comment

Vijy Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Team 1: Amla, Tendu, Sir Viv, J. Trott, ABDV (keeper), Bevan, Shakib, Streak, Hadlee, Waqar, Murali The top 6 avg around 50 each (give or take a few). 7, 8 and 9 can all bat well too. 5 bowling options (7-11) and part-timers in Tendu and Bevan and a batting all-rounder in Viv. Team 2: M. Hussey, Sangakkara, Kohli, Kallis, Zaheer Abbas, MSD, Neil Johnson, Flintoff, Bond, Garner, Abdul Razzaq Batting till 8. 6 bowling options (Kallis and 7-11) with some part-time dobblers in Kohli and Hussey.

Good sides... not sure about Sang and Huss opening- both can do so well -but there are specialist openers you could have picked... but good balance in the teams. Interesting that you picked Trott, good call, easy to forget he averaged 50+ in ODI, would be good foil for Viv and his fellow Saffie ABDV Link to comment
