My knowledge of cricket ended way too long ago to contribute, but any side I did select would include Mike Procter - Seriously fast opening bowler & batted at #3! Pretty unique. Sadly didn't achieve true greatness, due to the old Apartheid malarchy.

Here is my one day XI

S Jayasuria
C Gayle
K Pietersen
S Tendulkar
A.B De Villiers
A Flintoff
M.S Dhoni (WK) ©
D Bravo
D Vettori
C Vass
S Pollock

Here's a team to beat all the above teams.

Please note I deliberately didn't select any players already selected in the above teams, so as to be able to take the above teams on and beat them, otherwise Shane Warne, Muttiah Muralitharan, Adam Gilchrist and Viv Richards would certainly have had a strong case for selection, along with 1 or 2 others.

Jack Hobbs
Barry Richards
Don Bradman
Graeme Pollock
Dr W.G Grace
Garry Sobers
Mike Proctor
Imran Khan
Alan Knott
Malcolm Marshall
Jim Laker

I apolagise for my spelling am in a rush
p.s Brian Lara was gifted but would never be in my chosen 11 because his big scores were rarely when needed. Steve waugh gets in because in my opinion if my life depended on it he would be the first guy I would want to bat for me.
