            Adam Gilchrist
            Sanath Jayasuriya
            Robin Smith
            Steve Waugh
            Viv Richards
            Clive Lloyd
            Wasim Akram
            Malcolm Marshall
            Ian Botham
            Shane Warne
            Curtley Ambrose

            Difficult task this, I tried to pick the most destructive batsmen I've seen in one day cricket plus great bowlers who could bat a bit. There are so many great bowlers so seperating them is difficult, so I picked them on batting ability.
            Curtley got in there because Marshall and Curtley are simply the most accurate dangerous bowlers I think I've ever seen and rank way above McGrath on top form. Hadlee was another difficult one to leave out. The spinner was an easy choice for me, Warne. Accurate, dangerous and can bat. Murali (whether you thing he throws it or not) still puts in a few long hops now and then and can't bat for toffee.
            Found it hard to leave out Tendulkhar, Lara and Alan Border. Border was so good at keeping the score ticking along without playing crazy shots. I remember him batting with the tail for about 30 overs against England needing over 5.5 an over and he just nudged it around. He didn't play any aggressive shots and they won easily.

                Once you have Dennis Lillee, Holding and Garner, there is no need for Malcolm Marshall.

                  Not related to you is he?! Good team, apart from No.3 IMO.

                  If you picked bowlers on bating ability surely Pollock and/or Kallis would make it?

                    No. But he did hold the highest ODI individual score for a while.

                    He had a few years where he was the most destructive batsman in the world.

                      When was that? I must have been in a coma or something because I completely missed it. He was just about above average IMO. No way near good enough to make an all time great team.

                        Must have been the highest by an Englishman.

                        Still 167 n/o against Australia in 1993 is not a bad score.

                        He was ranked best batsman in the world before the 1993 Ashes series, then, it sort of fell apart
