My ODI 11

Now that the WC is over and there is nothing much happening in Pakistan cricket, I have decided to write about a more general topic. This is perhaps a more debatable topic and almost every reader will have a difference of opinion. This is my best one day 11 since the time I started following cricket (1992). I did watch a few games before then and have seen a few on tape, but I have stuck to choosing among the players whom I have followed for most of their careers. Hence no Imran Khan, no Viv Richards. Also, in the batting line up I have chosen players in the position they have played most of their careers in. So, I had to make some tough choices and could not include both Brian Lara and Ricky Ponting in this team. Finally, some other individuals have been left out because they have not played enough games (eg Kevin P Michael Hussey and Shane Bond)So, here it is:

Dada's One Day XI since 1992:

Adam Gilchrist
Brian Lara
Aravinda DeSilva
Inzamam-ul-Haq
