Your First Eleven (1 Viewer)

[Raiks]

Just wondering which players would be making your first ODI Australian teams. After watching most of the VB series, I think a lot has been left to be desired over the middle order of Australia...

For ODI's

Adam Gilchrist
Justin Langer / Michael Clarke
Michael Clarke / Ricky Ponting
Ricky Ponting / Michael Hussey
Damien Martyn
Andrew Symonds
Shane Watson
Cameron White
Brett Lee
Jason Gillespie
Glenn McGrath

hayden is a class player, hes just in a form slump

a little over 12 months ago damien martyn was in the same position, you can't judge a player of hayden's calibre by a relatively small (yet recent) form slump, coz he's got the class, willpower, support & experience to come through the other side

i would prefer stuart macgill to cameron white, and brad hogg to shane watson

my team would therefore be

1 gilchrist
2 hayden
3 ponting
4 clarke
5 martyn
6 symonds
7 hogg
8 lee
9 gillespie
10 mcgrath
11 macgill
12th man lehmann

there is a lack of batsmen there but there are enough 4 them to bat through........and the quality of bowling is enough 4 the side to be a superpower still

must be a tough job for the selectors though

 

[copious]

Gilchrist
Hayden
Ponting
Clarke
Martyn
Symonds
Hussey/Katich
Lee
Gillespie
Macgill
Mcgrath

hehe...they are soccer players. Soccer also involves 11 players...so i'm guessing that he was confused and selected his soccer World XI.

For goal keeper Oliver Khan (c)

Nah, he would have been first picked in his prime...but I think he is past his best now. Buffon is actually ranked #1, but I like Casillas better.
