midge Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 So many great players played this wonderful game; each with their unique ability to win matches single-handedly. If you had to pick the best eleven keeping the balance of side in mind, what would be your best team? Does the video below help? wMGU9Jnl2O4 Eager to hear from you :winky:
sourab10forever Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Warne in for murli Some one else in place of yuvraj
midge Posted March 28, 2015 Author Posted March 28, 2015 Cool! Interested to know who would you pick in place of Yuvraj?
midge Posted March 28, 2015 Author Posted March 28, 2015 Share your best eleven guys. Eager to know how this best ODI team shapes up.
hhhhdmt Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Edit: sorry for the multiple posts, it was a mistake 1. Gilchrist 2. Tendulkar 3. Richards 4. Ponting 5. De villiers 6. Bevan 7. Akram 8. Imran 9. Warne 10. Garner/Mcgrath 11. Holding/waqar
midge Posted March 28, 2015 Author Posted March 28, 2015 Nice pick! That bowling line-up is going to kill someone.
Sooda Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Tendulkar, Jayasuriya, Ponting, Kallis, Richards, Hussey, Dhoni, Wasim, Warne, Garner, McGrath
Bleed-Blue Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 1. Gilchrist 2. Tendulkar 3. Richards 4. Kallis 5. De villiers 6. Bevan 7. Dhoni 8. Akram 9. Warne 10.Garner 11.Mcgrath
Sooda Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 1. Gilchrist 2. Tendulkar 3. Ponting 4. Kallis 5. Richards 6. Bevan 7. De Villiers 8. Akram 9. Warne 10.Garner 11.Mcgrath ^ H0w about that :D
thongale Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Jayasuriya, Tendulkar, Richards, de Villiers, Hussey, Dhoni, Klusener, Pollock, Wasim, Murali, McGrath. Would beat the **** out of any team.
hhhhdmt Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Klusener is a great pick, really underrated I find it hard to choose between Mcgrath and Garner. Either would be a great pick And one express bowler, either Donald or Waqar or Holding
thongale Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 On their pomp, Wasim and Klusener were 145k merchants. Pollock was certainly rapid in his pomp too. No where close to Donald, Waqar, or Holding. May be Wasim was up there.
sage Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Tendulkar and Sehwag opening for me. Never seen a more exciting and great opening pair
zen Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 * R - Tendulkar * L - Sobers (played 1 ODI; also can bowl seam or spin depending upon conditions ) * R - Ponting * L - Lara * R - Richards * L - Sangakara (WK) * Hadlee * Akram * Warne * Garner * McGrath 12-15 * Gilly * Kallis * Ambrose * Murali
Ultimate_Game Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 Tendulkar Jayasuriya Kallis Richards ABDV Dhoni (C, WK) Kapil Akram Warne Garner McGrath Others in the 17 man squad :- Marshall Imran Murali Sobers Gilchrist (if Jayasuriya out of form) Hussey
zen Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 Others in the 17 man squad :- Sobers Overall, a nice squad .... Sobers played only one ODI and that too towards the end of his career. However, we can assume based on his performances in tests (an ATG test batsmen) and potential that he would have been amongst the greats in ODIs. So if you have him in the squad, he should be in the playing 11 as he would be in the same league as Richards and Tendulkar, and probably the best batsman in the squad
BlueBee Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 1. Gilchrist 2. Tendulkar 3. Punter 4. Richards 5. De villiers 6. Bevan 7. Dhoni 8. Akram 9. Warne 10.Garner 11.Mcgrath

Would have loved to have Bradman and Graeme Pollock in there as well but they never played a odi so kept them out. Also wanted to have Ambrose in there but went with Garner ahead of him.

Yeah, but there is no rule that says that past great should have played ODIs to be in the squad. Tendulkar, Lara, etc. did not play T20, but we know they have done superbly in them esp. if they played that format at their peak And you will probably be the first person to have Sir Gary Sobers in the squad but not in the playing 11 .... and ofc likes of Jayasuriya, Kallis, etc. ahead of the person many consider the greatest cricketer! :P
