Combined One-Day XI - first 2 teams

[romanwfw]

everybody's probably already done a hundred of these but i was INCENCED, yes INCENCED when i heard mark nichollas say that 5 australian's would be included in a world one day XI and then i heard ponting, gilly, symonds, mcgrath and lee named

WTF is he talking about, only 4 of them would be considered

how anyone could consider lee in the 1st XI, or even 2nd XI is nuts

anyway here's my squad, assuming all fully fit

1st XI
1.V. Sehwag (India)
2.A. Gilchrist (Aus)
3.S. Tendulkar (India)
4.B. Lara (WI)
5.R. Ponting (Aus)
6.A. Flintoff (Eng)
7.A. Symonds (Aus)
8.S. Pollock (SA)
9.I. Pathan (India)
10. M. Muralitharan (SI)
11.G. McGrath (Aus)
S.Sub S. Jayasuria (SI)

2nd XI
1.C. Gayle(WI)
2.K. Sangakarra (SL)
3.R. Dravid (India)
4.J. Kallis (SA)
5.I. Ul-Haq (Pak)
6.K. Pietersen (Eng)
7.M. Clarke (Aus)
8.Y. Youhana (Pak)
9.M. Ntini (SA)
10.C. Vaas (SI)
11.D. Vettori (NZ)
S.Sub S. Afridi (Pak)

i would have picked trescothick in the 2nd XI ahead of youhana but i thought the batting line up from 3-7 wasn't like super dynamic esp. with dravid, kallis and inzi there and trescothick would have made it even more slow

yeah fair call roman. lee wouldn't make it in the best 11 in the world but was nicholas maybe thinking of the great S.K.Warne as i never heard his comments.

wow kallis in the second 11. :eek:

[SBI]

Pathan!?!?!

You are joking.

[Ricketts]

The 5 Aussies - Gilly, Ponting, Symonds, Lee, McGrath... i wouldn't have Lee in a WXI but the other 4 i would.

My combined XI then:

Sangakkara
Gilly
Ponting
Lara
Dravid
Symonds
Flintoff
Pollock
Vettori
McGrath
Murali

Gilly in for Sehwag
Ponting in for Pietersen
Symonds in for Kallis
McGrath in for Shoaib

i knew i left someone out, aktar in for pathan in world XI and pathan replaces vaas in 2nd XI cause they're both lefties but pathan should eventually become a better one if he's not already better
