akshayxyz Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 Fair enough team, except for Sehwag as an opener.
Asoka Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 WTF. This is embarrasing.Sehwag and Dev shouldn't be anywhere near this team.
Raghav_12 Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 Sehwag..?? And not sure about Kapil's selection as well. But somebody might have remembered that 175* at time of putting final list.
Zelig Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 List looks good except for Sehwag. Hayden should of been there instead.
The Outsider Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 The entire team structure looks messed up. Why pick another opener besides Tendulkar in the first place when there is Gilchrist? Rather pick an extra middle order batsman. Openers : Tendulkar, Gilchrist Middle Order : Richards, De Silva, Lara, Bevan All Rounder : Kapil Dev Fast Bowlers : Akram, Garner, McGrath Spinner : Warne Don't see anything contentious about the choice of Kapil as the all rounder. At number 7 the last thing you need is some slowpoke like Kallis or Imran. And Kapil as an ODI bowler was better than in tests. He was ranked as the number 1 all rounder in the ICC rankings continuously for a period of 10 years or so. That is simply phenomenal. And to do it a time when his competition was Imran, Hadlee, and Botham makes it even more remarkable.
Sooda Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 ^ De Silva? Interesting call. Would you put him ahead of Ponting? How about Dean Jones, or he might have been a bit slow for modern ODI cricket SRT, AG, RP, VR, BCL, MB, KD, WA, JG, SW, GM

The Outsider Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 ^ Jones wasn't in the shortlist provided on the ICC site, otherwise would have made a superb middle order batsman and would have been tough to choose between De Silva and him. Ponting is a good choice as well, but Richards is already there at number 3 to play his role in a much better capacity. Batting in the middle overs against quality spin bowling and maneuvering the field, both Jones and De Silva are perhaps better choices than Ponting.
Cricket_Guru Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 O there was a shortlist :cantstop: I just cannot belive afridi didnt make it man, am very sad :cantstop: on a serious note: gilchrist/ganguly(if indians had a head start) wouldve been ideal. and kepil, imran in odis, not sure, i could've selected afridi :--D
Zelig Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 It's mandatory to pick a WK outta Mark Boucher, MS Dhoni, Andy Flower Adam Gilchrist, Romesh Kaluwitharana, Moin Khan, Alec Stewart, Kumar Sangakkara and 2 from Saeed Anwar, Sourav Ganguly, Gordon Greenidge, Matthew Hayden, Sanath Jayasuriya, Virender Sehwag, Sachin Tendulkar, Glenn Turner :hmmm:

Cricket_Guru Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 Afridi did make it :giggle: to short list but not the final 12
