Austin 3:!6 Posted Wednesday at 05:55 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:55 PM I was watching a program where they were picking all time ODI XI and thought of opening a thread here for the same. Considering ODI has a relatively shorter history (compared to test cricket), I think it will be easier to pick. My list as follows: Sachin Tendulkar Sanath Jayasuriya Ricky Ponting (c) Virat Kohli Viv Richards MS Dhoni(w) Kapil Dev Saqlain Mushtaq Wasim Akram Glenn McGrath Malcom Marshal Link to comment
Majestic Posted Wednesday at 06:00 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 06:00 PM Garner was a better ODI bowler than Marshall and pivotal in 1979 WC win. If you are giving value to the World Cup performance highly, you should pick Shane Warne ahead of Saqlain. Otherwise, Murali is the obvious choice considering all parameters. My list as follows: Sachin Tendulkar Sanath Jayasuriya Ricky Ponting (c) Virat Kohli Viv Richards MS Dhoni(w) Kapil Dev Wasim Akram Shane Warne Glenn McGrath Joel Garner Others :- Rohit Sharma AB de Villiers(w) Andrew Flintoff Muttiah Muralidharan Link to comment

zen Posted Wednesday at 09:02 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 09:02 PM (edited) A team that I would find interesting to watch: Top order Jayasuriya - an explosive opener and a smart spinner. Mastered the batting in power play in the 1996 World Cup. Was the Man of the Tournament in it. Sachin - picked for his consistency. Can bowl as well if required. V Richards - one of the best players of pace and swing. A handy off-spinner known as the man with the golden arm. Middle order M Crowe (c) - rewarded for his consistent impactful batting and innovative captaincy in the 1992 World Cup. Was the Man of the Tournament in that World Cup. It was the first time that this award was introduced. B Stokes - a left hander who can do power hitting as well as play per the situation. Rewarded for doing well in two finals - 2019 ODI and 2022 T20 (a different format but it showcased his clutch qualities. Has played clutch knocks in tests as well). ABDV (wk) - brings 360 degrees batting skills to the 11. Klusener - a cool customer under pressure. Can bowl quick. He has touched 150 kmph on a few occassions, iirc. Brought an invincible quality to the SA team in the 1999 World Cup - something that a very few players can do. Was the Man of the Tournament of the 1999 World Cup. Bowlers Akram - the left arm pace bowler. Also known as the sultan of swing. Can swing his bat too. Warne - the legendary leg spinner. Can be handy with the bat. Bumrah - brings versatility to the 11. Garner - said to be the best ODI bowler of his time. The big bird could bowl lethal bouncers and deadly yorkers. A key player for West Indies in the 1979 World Cup win. Edited 21 minutes ago by zen Austin 3:!6 1 Link to comment

Viv has played 47 tests as a top order batsman (#1-3) and averages 60+ there. He even has a 100 as an opener. I would slot him in the top order as he is among the best players of pace and swing bowling. I would open with him if I can’t slot him at #3. Link to comment

Razzaq was a #7 and probably the most underrated #7 in ODI history. Flintoff was the better bowler over his career but I'd rather have a consistently explosive #7 when I already have 4 great bowlers.

Agree on Razzaq. But why no ABD? He is literally the biggest matchwinner in the format. Link to comment
Chakdephatte Posted Thursday at 01:49 PM Share Posted Thursday at 01:49 PM Trends: Jayasuriya is a popular pick here. Man was explosive but scored once in a while. Most are not picking great all rounders (Pollock/Shakib/Flintoff). No one picked Malinga so far. Austin 3:!6 1 Link to comment
