why do you think batsman today are lesser?

No doubt that the batsmen of today are not as equipped to play spin as the batters of 90's were. When it comes to fast bowling, we do not have as many great bowlers there were back then, so the batters havent been tested enough.

 

That being said, I do not rate the batsmen any lesser, I was merely answering to the comment aimed at me. Maybe the wording I used there were not appropriate.

wonderful memories brought back, reserves can be Vijay Bharadwaj, Doda Ganesh and Noel David

 

Its blasphemous that MSK Prasad is not the 1st choice WK:whack: 

These names do bring back so many memories. Painful memories lol. If I remember correctly Vijay Bharadwaj was the man of the series in his debut series and then faded away. Noel David was a live wire on the field but he had nothing else going for him. Don't know how he even got selected. Dodda Ganesh was a trundler like many on the scene at that time. Some more players from that era - Kumaran, Amit Bhandari, Rajesh Chouhan, Jacob Martin, Vikram Rathour.

Amit bhandari at times could crank it upto 140 back then. Rajesh Chauhan was actually good, and Jacob martin was not so bad either. As far as I remmber

Amit Bhandari was hyped to be a quick bowler but turned out to be a trundler when he made his debut. 

If my memory serves it right, he did bowl around 145, but by the time he was drafted in the team he had already lost his pace. Infact, I had seen him practise in 2000 in Chinnaswamy alongwith Agarkar, Zaheer, Prasad and Srinath.

Bumrah and Kuldeep haven't played enough yet but no other Indian bowlers ever in ODIs have been as impressive as them for a fair number of games (30+). I'm assuming they are going to maintain their standards and have a long career. I'm picking them in my all time ODI XI not only for their performances so far but also for being unique kind of bowlers which helps in LOIs.

 

S Tendulkar

S Dhawan

R Sharma

V Kohli

Y Singh

*+ M Dhoni

K Dev

Z Khan

A Kumble

K Yadav

J Bumrah

 

Notable exclusions ... Ganguly, Gambhir, Sehwag, Dravid, Srinath, Agarkar, Harbhajan

3.Kohli 

4.Yuvraj

5.Dhoni 

6.Ajay Jadeja/Irfan/Hardik /dravid 

7.Kapil Dev

8. Kumble

9. Zak

11. Srinath/bhajji/sir jadeja/kuldeep

 

2 slots for me are opposition n situation dependant, will always prefer to be flexbile 

Player who were tough to Drop- Rohit n GG

 

 

You can't have so many options.

 

Gotta pick only XI for all conditions. That's the challenge.

Unfortunately until Bumrah's arrival we have not had a champion bowler till now in ODIs. One who could walk into any other top contemporary side. Agarkar in his debut year-1998 was awesome but lost his way. Bumrah will be the first name in my list for bowlers.

For all conditions, this will be my pick:

 

Sachin 

Dhawan

Kohli

Ganguly

Yuvi

Dhoni 

Raina

Kapil dev

Kumble 

Zak

Bumrah

 

Explosive Top order, solid middle, batting till #9. All Three pacers capable of match winning performances, Kumble, Yuvi, Raina, Ganguly and Sachin will bowl 25 overs easily. Electric fielders at cover and point, safe catchers in deep.

Honestly speaking, was Kapil Dev > Dhoni as the captain?  Me thinks not! I did not follow much cricket prior to 2007-2008. From the highlights of dev and co, Dhoni's by far the best captain India has seen till now.

How can that chucker Harbhajan be in an AT XI? Garbage bowler sans doosra, did nothing in WCs either....One of the worst cricketers to have been given such a long run.
