Unless Bond walks off the field after few overs.
Draft: The Lasagne Draft
- Thread starter Aislabie
- Start date
Eoin MorganEngland’s most prolific ODI batsman ever (of course after KP). A perfect candidate for the no. 4 spot. He can hit out when required and can accumulate when in need. Also, his intelligence as captain would of great use to the team.

Garth Le Roux, obviously never played an ODI (or not an official one anyway), but scored over 3,000 List A runs at 23.34 with 9 50s, and took 378 wickets at 19.97 at an economy rate of 3.71 and an absurd strike rate of 32.2. He took 4 wickets in a list A 16 times, and 5 wickets 5 times.
Makes up a bit for missing out on Proctor. He'll bat 7 and open the bowling with Garner.

My pick is
Rashid KhanODI stats: 905 runs @ 19.25 (SR: 99.88, best 60*) and 133 wickets @ 18.54 (4 5WI, best 7/18) in 71 matches
List A stats: 926 runs @ 19.29 (SR: 100.65, best 60*) and 137 wickets @ 18.64 (4 5WI, best 7/18) in 73 matches
Well, I never expected this man to last as long as he has. One of the trickiest white-ball bowlers of the Twenty20 era, Rashid Khan has time and again made the best batsmen in the world look clueless. But if that's how the best in the world look against him, then just imagine how tough a time some of your Panesars will end up havin. Not only that, but Rashid offers a valuable second-string with bat in hand. He will likely come in at eight or nine and offer an extra hitting option; depending on whether or not we get the last member of our bowling attack, he may have to take on more of a firefighter role. But again - genuinely shocked that we're getting all the players I had my eye on so far.

Graeme Pollock will be my number four.
"South Africa's player of the 20th century, and perhaps the finest left-hand batsman the game has ever produced - Donald Bradman certainly thought so, classing only Garry Sobers as his equal among those he saw play."
"Another deprived of greater exposure by South Africa's isolation, Pollock showed in his 23 Tests what an awesome talent he possessed; his highest score of 274 was for many years the South African Test record. Pollock was an extremely powerful batsman, although his timing was perhaps his most obvious natural asset, and could also bowl effective legspin at times."
"He scored his maiden first-class century when he was just 16 and then posted his first Test hundred at 19 in Australia."

Not a good stat! But I guess he batted down the order so it is low!

Surprisingly, he does have the fourth highest List A average of all-time!

My pick will be Andrew Symonds, an extraordinarily gifted all-rounder who is one of the rare mercurial talents that happened to fulfill his potential in white ball cricket at least. On his day, Roy was a ferocious hitter of the ball who could turn games around the moment he walked out to bat. Even when he was playing in nearly every position possible until 2003, Symonds had a strike rate of nearly 100 which made Australia persist with him. It paid off in the 2003 World Cup when he finally had a clearer role that he understood, after which he was a permanent fixture in the number five or six position depending on the game situation. For four glorious years, Symonds was perhaps one of the most indispensable members of the legendary Aussie ODI side, proven by the team's worst losing streak in the decade coinciding with his absence through injury. With the ball, he could bowl medium pace or off-breaks in an unique manner and was a capable sixth bowler. And in the field? Few others were as electrifying as him.
Despite a chequered career filled with controversies and poor discipline, he was a World Cup champion twice and one of the most dynamic white ball cricketers in history. In my side, Symonds will bat at five where he functioned best in most games.
