Gibbs

Smith

Kallis

ABDV

Kock(wk)

Cronje(c)

Klusener

Pollock

Donald

Morkel/FD Villiers

Tahir

 

12th man:Jonty

 

Kallis over Faf cos of bowling option. If 'no fixer' rule Faf can come in place of Cronje and captain will be Biff.

With teams like Aus and SA, who have quite a talent pool, most combinations work 

 

Below is a thread on Aus AT ODI 11:

No Cronje in a ATx1 as the captain OP?

OD X1 

Smith

Gibbs

De Kock (keeper)

Kallis

Cronje (c)

AB

Kluesner

Pollock

Steyn

Donald

Tahir

 

12th man: Jonty Rohodes

 

Reserves: Kirsten (opener), Faf (middle

order) and Morkel (bowler),Boucher (keeper). I will be tempted to replace Steyn with Morkel depending on conditions


Wow that’s actually an unbeatable team unless it is a ICC knockout :giggle:

had faf, i really like him as captain and then there were to many good players to ignore .

Faf is an outstanding fielder and a gritty player who u need in tricky situations 

 

Faf+ abdv+ gibbs+ jonty in field means getting in a match with an advantage of 15-20 runs , and most days creating dismissal . 

 

With disciplined teams like Sa n NZ captaincy isnt much of an issue, they knw their game plan...they do their homework and they play like a unit always

AB at 6 , are u serious ? ODI is about giving ur best batsman as many balls as possible

Cronje is one of the most creative captains of all time. This is not like Indian team where numbers are fixed. He can send Pollock at 3 and open with Kluesner and AB and push Kallis to 8 or 9.I have seen him do some amazing out of the box things.

Numbers were not fixed, but they have not won any WCs, one ICC trophy (inaugural one)

With Faf, ABDV, Gibbs, Jonty ...what a fielding unit it will be 

Excellent team.  Will still find a way to blow it when it really matters :-).

that can be done from standing outside boundary line which he also did by taking a lot of help from woolmer....my theory is pick ur best XI and then captain and with a settled team u dont need to much experimentation 

 

It was jonty vs cronje for me and at no.6 slot and i need s/r , plus jonty is the best addition in field 

Faf as batsman avg almost 10 better then cronje and again is a great plus on field

You are talking as if Cronje was a mediocre  tuk tuk bat. He could be explosive and play according to situation too.

Not really not a single captaincy material in a side already world famous for choking. Picking just elite names for the sake of it is not a great team. May be oversight from Ankit. Usually he is pretty thorough.
