I think you'll find he put Murali originally, but then changed within that five or so minutes span. Will update the list now...

Doesn't look overly good on paper with the two Banga's in there, but they're going pretty good as of late. I went for an all-rounder based team, and got three wicket-keepers because they usually get the catches (5pts) plus they can bat quite well into the bargain.

Here is the squad for The Intensely Hated XI....

G. Gambhir (Ind) - Batsman
S. Chanderpaul (W.I) - Batsman
J. Kallis (S.Af) - Batsman/All Rounder (C)
H. Amla (S.Af) - Batsman
K. Pietersen (Eng) - Batsman

U. Gul (Pak) - Bowler
R. Sidebottom (Eng) - Bowler
T. Mupariwa (Zim) - Bowler

It's going to be interesting to see how my side goes.

Plenty of in form players in my batting line up, who are all getting plenty of cricket in the early part of the year. Akmal, Shakib and Maharoof are all more than handy with the bat also.

The bowling looks thin, with a few youngsters in there. Gul will take wickets if Pakistan actually get on the park, and Sidebottom will also take wickets if he can get out on the park. Mupariwa is a young Zimbabwean paceman who bowled well against Sri Lanka in the recent series. He has taken wickets against Bangladesh also, and with these three sides playing each other in several ODI's early, I'm confident he's going to get amongst the wickets.

While I don't much like the Sri Lankan bowlers I've selected, they are the only two in both squads, and with Vaas not playing one dayers, and Mendis and Malinga out injured, I think these guys are going to get a fair workload early.

The player to watch tho, is Shakib. It is my belief that this kid will prove to be the first genuine world class player to come out of Bangladesh. He's a very crafty spinner, who bowled beautifully against Australia a couple of months back. He also gave the Kiwis plenty of headaches on their recent tour. Is also capable of making plenty of runs with the bat. Mark my words lads, you'll be hearing plenty more about this player.
