Team @crappycraperson




Batting - Top 5 is super solid. Warner and Watson both proven ODI openers with big innings to their names. Number 3 is an all time great Sangakarra. Smith, one of the best batsmen of modern generation, has some great ODI innings to his name. Yousuf of course an all time Pakistani great. Lower order is cemented by Shai hope who has an excellent record for Windies and Hardik Pandya, who is India's best all rounder since Kapil Dev. Even likes of Lee, Warne and Kumble can hang with the bat if required.

Bowling - Warne will lead the bowling with support of Lee, Kumble and Bond. That's 4 of all time great ODI bowlers. Each one is capable of winning a match on their own. The side has 2 all rounders in Watson and Pandya who can fulfil 5th bowler quota. Not to mention Smith is also a very handy part time bowler to chip in with 3-4 overs.

Batting wise it's close, may he shades it. Bowling wise no contest, only Ambrose in his lineup is comparable to my main 4 bowlers.

Never rated Vaas that highly. Don't think he ever did as well for SRL as someone like Zaheer did for us. Lee gets underrated due to McGrath and Warne. He was better in ODIs than Tests as well. His record in ODIs post 2003 was great and consistency wise he was one of top 5 bowlers about for 4-5 years.

I'm also a massive fan of Vaas but I've got to go Crappy here. His batting stands up and his bowling is superior, but I must say I like 2mufc0's as a unit. It looks a bit of a motley crew but there's skill and nice variation there.
