There's two for me that I'm surprised nobody's yielded to temptation on. I'm Assistant manager this time but if I was managing myself, I would've picked one of them just for the sheer romance of it (i'm always a sucker for that). I had them both marked for first round pick but nm's more pragmatic.
Great freakin pick. He doesn't even come in my filter. Blurgh!
Don't think so - he wasn't nearly at his best after 1990 iirc, and that is what matters right?
That's the one. I was pushing nm to pick him but apparently since performances after 1990 count, he passed on him.
Yeah. I get that. But Imran Khan, man!
So what? If he didn't play well at the time, it doesn't matter. I'm not a 100% sure, but think he wasn't at his best then.
I'm just pointing it out that he is a darn cool person to have in the team.
The 92 WC and the following year of admiration of Khan was one of my first few cricket memories. I was 5-6 then.
yes
Yes. But you'll have to explain it to the voters.
Already done.
Seriously strange pick? We are talking about test team right?I pick:
MS Dhoni
Captain, Wicket-keeper, and finisher.
Look at the title of the thread Oh well, I think akram is good in odi as well.Yeah.. still a good pick
Aye.. I debated with myself long and hard over him and Jayasuriya. I the end latter's bowling record just about swing it since I don't want to be under pressure to pick an all rounder later.I can't believe I get a shot to have this guy. feck the averages
Brian Lara
Yes, I would have taken Akram if he was available when I picked as well.
I won't have picked Dhoni yet... he is a good player to have in a ODI team though no doubt
Aye. My reasoning was that there are very few players that can 1. Anchor 2. Finish an innings 3. Captain (WC and T20 winner) and 4. Keep. His average and strike rate are amongst the best in the world too.
