World X1 Tweny20 team (1 Viewer)

Say you had to pick a Twenty20 team that would verse Australia, Who would be in it.

1. Jayasuria
2. Sewag
3. Tendulkar
4. Gayle
5. Cairns
6. Afridi
7. Sangakkara
8. Flintoff
9. Vettori
10. Vaas
11. Ntini

 

[Estel]

I'd have Akhtar instead of Ntini. I don't know that Fast Medium has a role in Twenty20. I'm not sure I'd have Flintoff or Vaas either.

 

[acmilan]

The batting would be pretty much the same for me. For bowling Id probably replace Vaas with Pollock and maybe change vettori with someone else

 

[chair_stapler]

yeah i had trouble deciding the bowlers
those are some good suggestions
maybe murali instead of vettori
and maybe akhtar even though i hate him

 

[aj_number_10]

I Honestly think thats a terrible team. I cant see any justification for not picking Adam Gilchrist , playing a spinner , or picking Ntini?????? - A very erratic bowler. My Team:

1) Sehwag
2) Gilchrist
3) Lara
4) Flintoff
5) Pieterson
6) Cairns
7) Symonds
8) Afridi
9) Pollock
10)Vaas
11)McGrath

Jayasuria is way out of form and shouldve retired years ago, i dont know why he is considered at all in these teams anymore...

typical that aj is the one 2 make the stupid comment, as to stapler's team, i wouldnt hav ntini....2 expensive at times, and vettori and spinners of his type hav no spot in 20/20 games, ur also missing one man lara?? and seraph is rite, jayasuria is a washed up old man

1- sehwag
2- fleming
3- lara
4- gayle
5- afridi
6- cairns
7- bravo
8- pollock
9- patif patel (go u lil man - lol, hes shit, but i h8 sangakara)
10- vaas
11- clive lloyd (bring in out of retirement - no gud fast bowlers in cricket nowadays)

murali and akhtar facing life bans 4 being chuckers!!!

my heaven in one post, oh yeah...

 

[fire away]

assuming that the pitch would suit spinners and pacemen alike

1. jayasuriya
2. tendulkar
3. lara
4. cairns
5. kallis
6. sehwag
7. afridi
8. gayle
9. vettori
10. akhtar
11. murali

i reckon that would make an awesome matchup against the aussies

finally someone put Jacques Kallis in their world XI. Those of you who left him out obviously need to learn a little more about the game.

 

[fire away]

yea hes a quality player

In my opinion, this team would provide the most awesome match for Australia out of all those teams chosen so far. The only change I would consider is dropping gayle for another fast bowler due to the already awesome batting talent in your side.

 

[fire away]

thanks mate!

 

[fire away]

i just figured we have vettori, murali and akhtar as frontline bowlers......they would all bowl out their 4 overs......so that only leaves 8 overs, of which could be shared between - jayasuriya, tendulkar, cairns, kallis, afridi & gayle

i rekon its a pretty well rounded team

I didn't notice before that you had so many all-rounders in your team, so I agree. In my opinion, no changes need to be made then.

 

[Smokey_22]

I dont think they'll have 20-20 world X1's for a while. The game isn't long enough to decide the better team, rather the better hitters on the day.

good point, but this is only a hypothetical thread.

Thats an awesome lineup, but can any of them wicket keep? Or can sehweg keep, im not sure.

I would make one or two adjustments. Jayasuria isnt showing the form of old, plus his running between wickets is suspect. I would include KEvin Pietersen, so far he has shown he is a very clean hitter like cairns. If i was to include a keeper it would probaly be Brendon Mcullum, i think hes capable of some innovative shotmaking and some quick fire runs as shown when he and hamish marshall guided nz to victory against aust when it looked about over, plus he's decent with the gloves.

In the case of injuries i think these guy's are capable of filling in/
Ricardo Powell
Andy Blignaught
Andy Flintoff
John Davison( World cup form lol)
Justin Kemp
Jacob Oram

 

[Smokey_22]

Pollock should be the first man picked.

 

[fire away]

4 a test and one day match, yes

20/20 though is a different story

need high strikers both with the bat and ball
