Yeah agree it's a great lineup (and one of the reasons I vetoed the flat track) , but you also have to factor in the bowlers, the likes of Holding, Hadlee, Pollock and Murali rarely got taken to the cleaners all it takes is one good ball to get them out . While we are facing a weaker bowling lineup, all of my batsmen have high strike rates, KP actually made his name smacking the Aussies around including Warne and our batting is much deeper. But I think we can really go at Morkel and the part timers.

Wow, Marshall /Imran /Bond/Morkel/Warne a weak bowling line up ? this line up is far better equipped compared to your combinations to bowl at both end of the innings.
Its never going to be easy for your lower order batsmen to dislodge the yorkers coming form Imran/Bond and Marshall in the death overs.Plus with those part times and Jaya in the turning tracks it wouldn't be easy either scoring in those middle overs consider the pitch in offer.

Also about your claim of KP smacking Aussies around which include Warne, no he didn't do any of those, his average drops sharp aganist Aussies with 31.70 where as his overall average is at 40.73. Which means he's not so comfortable against playing that line up.TBH he had never faced Warne in ODI.

Yes he didn't play against him in ODIs but in tests he did face him and was a major part of winning that 2005 series along with Flintoff.

:confused: I've also got the same amount of batsmen /bowlers but the difference is my bowlers bat a lot better than his, I don't see how having extra all rounders (good ones) is seen as a negative esp in limited overs games, plus upto no. 6 I have 6 full time batsmen the same as his. If my lineup was full of bit part all rounders like Symonds and Gayle I would agree with you, but Pollock, Hadlee and Flintoff are elite all rounders in Odis and I'm struggling to see how they are a weakness in any metric.

Disagree about spin options, Warne and Murali are pretty much equal but I prefer murali by a little and against this batting lineup part timers are not going to do much. In reality he only really has one extra part time spin option than me (who's not going to decide a game like this) , but I would be happy for the likes of Holding, Pollock, Hadlee and Flintoff to bowl on any surface, while I'll fancy my chances against Morkel and his part timers on these pitches.

I'm thinking particularly of Gayle who is going to be your second spinner on the two turners, while Mani can diffuse his slow bowling around several competent guys. Then I see Imran at seven coming in after a very destructive 1-6, potentially partnering an ATG finisher while I think you'll be asking more of Freddie in the same position with Pietersen or Morgan (both of whom I like, but neither are suited to the role like MS is). It's fine margins at this level and I see two strong teams, I just give Mani the edge with his more numerous options as I see it.

Ball 5.. Good length delivery this time from Holding... PULL results in TWO RUNS.

Great comeback by Holding after the fix ball six. What can Vivs do on the last ball?
