Picture this...
It's the 2003 World Cup Final, it's come down to the last over and the batting team needs 6 runs to win with say 1 or 2 wickets in hand.
You are the fielding captain and you have your choice of any bowler in the world to bowl that last over for you.
Who would you choose??

Definatly Glen McGrath.
I went Pollock, just ahead of pidgeon.

OOOHHH this was so easy - McGrath followed by daylight.
McGrath for me, seems the best bet for sure.... if i chose Warne he'd probably give away 20 runs :p

Brett Lee just to show why he shouldn't be in the one day squad

I chose Pollock as, from memory, McGrath does not have a good history of bowling the last over in a match.

I voted for McGrath, but it depends on who was on strike for the 1st ball. If it was the tail-ender, I may lean to someone like Shoaib Akhtar or Brett Lee who could get the guy out with a yorker or something fast & full at the base of the stumps.
Pollock or McGrath would be the main ones... both can bowl the ball in the right spot all the time.

who gives a toss but if you want my opinion i would bowl Clint Bizzel. He bowled a great last over last week in a charity match

BLACK CAT,
This is only supposed to be a bit of fun and one must ask the question... "if you didn't give a toss, why reply to the thread???"
Sometimes, I really do wonder!! ;););)

I would go for Ian Harvey slightly ahead of Glen McGrath.
Freak is an excellent one day bowler who is capable of getting all 6 balls in the right spot.
Add his excellent change of pace and you have a superb final over bowler.
Pollock, just ahead of McGrath.
If I was batting, I'd like to see Harvey, S.Waugh or Warne bowling. :D
