  2. David Siddall says:

    I might be biased Billy, but I’d go for Flintoff.

    They are probably very even in the batting stakes but Flintoff is a phenomenal bowler. (Dhoni described him last week as the best ODI bowler in the world . . .)

    Hey, i think that the big hitting team is good but you have to have at least one anchor even at 5 incase of a 2 wicket collapse at start of inning

  8. Rob Marrs says:

    As this is after the WC, in my case, mine is necessarily different.

    1. Gayle
    2. Dilshan
    3. Kallis
    4. Pietersen
    5. Afridi
    6. Sangakarra (WK)
    7. Bravo
    8. Mendis
    9. Malinga
    10. Murali
    11. Gul

    Everything there. Spin (Murali, Mendis, Afridi), pace (Gul, Bravo, Kallis, Bravo). Big hitters – Pietersen, Afridi, Sangakarra, Gayle, Dilshan.

  9. EXCELSIOR HIGH AKA Tanel says:

    I thought that if you guies wanted a world class team you would have done it according to a current international pool. Thus an Adam Gilchist and Shane warne would have not made the team given them only available to ipl. In contrast my dream x1 would most definately has to be the only centurian who i see is not selected by one and is place at #4 by the other are u crazy, with that strike rate of 148? So Gayle, Sehwag,Gibbs,Youvrage S. Symmonds, Sangakkara(Cap),Afrdi/Bravo,M. Johnson,Vetori,Malinga,Murliteran. 12th Man. Kevin Pieterson

    You got 4 fast bowlers (styen, kallis, watson, broad)three top class spinners (afridi, singh, swann) and the main batting line up goes up till 6 down (and broad and styen can bat) wkt would be K sangakkara and cap would be afridi or sangakkara (depending on the game mode)
