herath a shout surely, underwood there and there abouts also. graeme pollock, chanderpaul is another who could be considered, hussey as well and border, sangakkara. bowling does look a bit weak, wasim and davo pretty much definite's with the 3rd pacer spot going to vaas with herath/underwood for the spinner. i'd probably go herath for an attacking option but underwood a great option also.

Matty Hayden Graeme Smith Brian Lara Alan Border Clive Lloyd Gary Sobers Adam Gillchrist Wasim Akram Alan Davidson Derek Underwood Bishen Bedi PS: I rate this middle order ahead of Sangakkara, though Sanga is the next in, IMO I also have Sobers as the third seamer. Sobers was a much better seamer than he was a spinner. I remember reading somewhere that Sobers averaged 26 as a pacer and 40 as a spinner though i dont know how reliable those numbers are. it is pretty certain that while Sobers was seen as a genuine new ball threat and a wicket-taker with the old cherry bowling pace, he bowled spin to hold one end up and rarely got more than 1 or 2 wickets bowling spin. So IMO, this side does not need a 4th seamer, I'd much rather go with 3 seamers and 2 spinners.

Vettori! Totally forgot him, good call I was also thinking of Vinoo Mankad, one of the best allrounders ever

[gazza]

i'd take shakib over vettori.

[rkt.india]

michael hussey over border' date='sanga? seriously? hussey was pretty poor against quality pacemen[/quote'] Hussey poor against pace? Dont think so. while Border was an opener, can replace him with Smith. Don't rate Sanga over Hussey.

The Aussie one itself was Hayden Morris Langer Harvey Border Hussey Gilchrist Davidson Johnson Johnston Ironmonger The Aussie ODI team one was Gilchrist Hayden Border Harvey Hussey Bevan Gilmour Davidson Johnson Bright Hogg Reid
