My openeers are deadly if they get set. Sehwag has a ridiculous strike rate to go along with 15 centuries in all sorts of conditions while Ganguly reached 1000 ODI runs in a calender year 4 times! Not to mention they can chip in with a few overs ( both have loads of odi wickets) and are excelllent fielders.
My middle order consists of 3 english men. Smith and Fairbrother both average almost 40 and especially loved playing against quicks as demonstrated by their numbers against the great west indian side of the late eighties/early nineties. Then comes Collingwood, Mr.dependable. Average of 35 with over 30 knocks of 50 plus runs. A calm customer and true professional who adds solidity to my middle order and will be able to chip in with quite a few economical overs.
Then I have two South Africans who are excellent fielders, match winners and love batting with the tail. Duminy with his fielding and part time spin is tailor made for the short version of the game while Boucher has seen it and done it everywhere.

10: KM- Ambrose, Imran Khan, Afridi, Micheal Hussey, Aravinda, Srinath, Haddin, Morne Morkel, Boon, Younis Khan, Grant Flower
David Boon- Class Australian batsmen, big moustache and very solid player. He’ll lead my team with opening.
Neil Johnson- Anyone who remembers WC 1999, must remember this guy. All rounder and a class batsman, he got three man of the matches. His career was cut short by the arguments with the Zimbabwe team management. He played 4 matches against Australia(in 1999), scored two centuries and had an average of 83.22 against team. Was also a very good fast bowler.
Younis Khan- A Part of that classic Pakistani trio of middle order(Yousuf, Younis and Inzy). Played spin amazingly well and always kept on looking for ones and twos. Also a very good fielder.
Arvinda Da Silva- No words needed here, just a class act with the bat. Has more than 9000 runs in ODI Cricket, a perfect no.4 batsmen. Has the ability to clear the boundary
Grant Flower- He and Hussey will interchange positions according to the match situation. Great batsman, good bowler and outstanding fielder.
Micheal Hussey- The best finisher in the game right now and one of the best finishers in the history. Remarkably good batsmen who’s a terrific fielder.
Brad Haddin- Wicketkeeper and an excellent batsman. Will provide the big hitting and has a very decent average of 31.
Shahid Afridi- Has more than 350 wickets in ODI and anybody who watches cricket regularly will know that he’s an excellent bowler. Fields well and could provide with some big hitting later down(It’s not T20, it’s ODI). Will be my captain.
Srinath- Literally carried the Indian Attack in the 90’s. Played on flat tracks and still had a decent average of 28. Amazingly under-rated(according to Imran Khan, the most underrated bowler in the world). Capable of bowling in 140’s and has more than 300 wickets. Class act all around, could also provide with some occasional big hitting.
Morne Morkel- The Gentle Giant of the world cricket. Had an amazing average of 23 and eco of less than 5 in ODI’s. Deadly on any pitch.
Ambrose- No words needed, really. Average of 23 and eco rate of 3.50 in ODI’S!
12th Man- Imran Khan, messed up really picking him up. Not going to include him in the team to gain some cheap votes. He had an average record after the 90’s. Blah. Off-field captain.
Team Strategy- Batting really needs no words. However my two opening bowlers will be Morkel and Ambrose whose eco rates are less than 5 and 4 respectively. They’ll make sure that batting is slowed down. Both of them are genuine wicket takers and will provide me with breakthroughs. It’s also worth pointing out that all of my five bowlers have an economy rate of less than 5. My third and fourth choice bowlers have more than 650 wickets in themselves. Neil Johnson is a diamond and will come as the fifth choice, in the unlikely event if he’s trashed. Then we’ve got the likes of Arvinda Da Silva and Grant Flower(whose economy rates are again less than 5).
