I reckon in your batting line up you need at least one guy who isn't just a biffer, but can adapt to the situation and work it around for ones if need be, and since slow bowlers have traditionally been the hardest to score off in the format, my line up reflects that;

Gilchrist
Harvey
Ponting
Symonds
Flintoff
Dravid
M Hussey
Warne
Vettori
Lee*
Murali

* is the only selection I am not 100% sure about as I reckon any one of a number of pacemen could fill the slot, and given the spin-heavy nature of my side he'd probably only bowl 2 overs anyway

good to see you have quite a few aussies in that team clobbs  you've finally seen the light  hehe jks

I'd swap Michael Clarke for dravid, and would be iffy between Lee and McGrath, lee is more likely to go for more runs, but then he can bat a bit to.

 

 

 

 

5-0 You Beauty!!!!!

Thanks for the many fantastic memories Marto, Langer, Warney & Pidg

yeah a few of the ancient Aussies since they can still just about manage a 20 over game before their old limbs seize up. I wouldn't have McGrath in my side as line and length bowlers tend to go for a few

Sorry people. Had to remove Kemp for McGrath. Or else there would be no new ball bowler other than Pollock. And I couldn't find a place for Sehag because he is in bad form right now and sachin anway better.

Bowling order.

McGrath
Pollock
Warne
Murlitaran
Jayasuriya

Anil Kumble, your team was terrible. Afridi at number 8??? Thats stupid! If a number 8 is needed it usually means the pitch is bad meaning Afridi will last for round about 3 balls. Mortaza, you're surely having a laugh. I thought better of you.

My team is da bomb!

1. Gilchrist
2. Afridi
3. Ponting
4. Symonds
5. Tendulkar
6. Pietersen
7. Dhoni
8. Shaun Pollock
9. Ian Harvey
10. Anil Kumble
11. Stuart Broad

   I have got the scariest opening partnership of all time, some anchormen, (Ponting and Tendulkar) I've got sheer power, (Symonds, Pietersen and Dhoni.) Shaun Pollock and Stuart Broad. Broad had an economy rate of under 5 in the 20:20 this year and Shaun Pollock is just great. Ian Harvey with his devastating yorkers and useful batting if necessary. I've got Anil Kumble with his incredibly accurate spin bowling. WHAT A TEAM!

1.Adam Gilchrist (wk)
2.Shahid Afridi /Chris Gayle
3.Ricky Ponting (capt)
4.Kevin Pietersen (if he reaches his potential ;) )
5.Andrew Symonds
6.Andrew Flintoff
7. M Dhoni
8. Shane Warne
9. Daniel Vettori
10.Glenn Mcgrath/Pollock (someone who can seam well, bowling at death)
11.Shane Bond

WE got two good openers, gilchrist, whos a natural, with his forward defense a drive down the ground, and another nice slogger, preferably chris gayle.

Ponting in there to give it some depth, with pietersen able to play both a quick blast and long innings. symonds for kicks, flintoff for his powerful batting and ok bowling. M Dhoni cos hes just the man to hit hard =P

then shane warne, (he plays in special matches like asia vs the rest), and vettori, both good spinners, making the batsmen hit the bal, rather than using pace (a reason why i didn't pick lee). Mcgrath or pollock, they both are accurate and can seam the ball ,making it hard to hit.

and finally shane bond, NZ fast bowler, who swings it damn fine!!!. watch his beautiful balls to right handers, aiming outside off and curivng in to hit middle/leg.

  3. Ponting (c)
  4. Lance Zulu Klusener
  5. Pieterson
  6. Flintoff
  7. Hussey
  8. Lee (2)
  9. Pollock (1)
  10. Warne

______________________________________________________

12th Man: Mahendra Singh Dhoni (as a batsmen only/back-up keeper)

13th Man: A.Symonds

14th Man: C.White

15th Man: J. Kemp

Everyone can bat in this side, and the bowling options are Lee, Vettori, Warne, Flintoff, Klusener, Jayasuriya and Pollock. That is including 4 Pace option (incl. super fast Lee, and super economic Pollock) and 3 spin options (The great Warne, the excellent left arm spin of Vettori and also the nifty Jayasuriya).

The batting is super strong and incl. the always reliable Hussey and a strong, big hitting lower order (NOT TO MENTION THE TOP ORDER!!)

There is a mix of youngish players and experience...

I think you need at least two seamers in the side. Spins good but only by so much.

heres a good Twenty20 team (i realise there all aussies!)
 
1    D Martyn
2    A Gilchrist
3    R Ponting
4    B Lee
5    J Hopes
6    A Symonds
7    M Clarke
8    M Hussey
9    S Clark
10  S Katich
11  S MacGill
 
12  M Cosgrove
 
In this team, you have Brett Lee as your pace bowler. James Hopes (medium pace) and Andrew Symonds (offbreak) as pure allrounders (Brett Lee is sort-of an allrounder aswell). Stuart Clark as a fast bowler, and Stuart MacGill as the main spinner. Also if needed Michael Clarke and Simon Katich could bowl. This team has a lot of firepower, with the tailend starting at 11!

Why hasn't anyone included Graeme Smith in their teams? He's got the best batting average in Twenty20's. Smith and AB will definitely be the openers in my team.

Samhache, I am a huge fan of Smith's and AB's but they're on my Twenty20 team purely on class and their ability to get the team off to a flyer. Besides, as I mentioned before, Smith does have the best twenty20 batting average. That should count for something
