[Plum]

I suggest 5 bat + 1 wk + 1 allro + 2 spinners + 2 fast/medium

Allro being medium pace

[steveaustin]

Steve Waugh
Hansie Cronje &
Andrew Symonds

All these men batted, bowled and fielded brilliantly many times in their career. Besides batsmen, WK and Bowlers, some brilliant fielders also needed for a team. So a brilliant all-round fielder like Symonds nominated here. So far, we almost selected four players who are good fielders and none of them are as quick as these three. As far as fielding is concerned, Inzy may be the weakest link. His running between the wickets the entire world knows. Hence I have to drop Inzy.

[raajarasigan]

this will be an interesting poll...

i would like to know the criteria for selecting sachin tendulkar without a poll

I think, it was originally started with the intention of choosing a batting partner for Sachin Tendulkar. But, I may be wrong too. :P

[Puliyan_Biryani]

I suggest 5 bat + 1 wk + 1 allro + 2 spinners + 2 fast/medium

Allro being medium pace
1. idhu suggestion-a? illai finalized plan-a? Reason why I ask is, if there is only one batting slot left, then I prefer Michael Bevan. If there are 2 slots, then my picks for the 2 places would be Inzi and Bevan. Slots-a finalize pannunga modhalla.

2. Two spinners? Unanimous asambaavidham edhaavadhu nadandhurumnu feel panreengala :wink:? Jayasuriya, De Silva-nu rendu part-time spinners irukkaangale. appuram edhukku 2 main spinner? 3 fast bowlers try pannalaame (since fast bowling stocks were pretty good in the 90s)?

[19thmay]

I suggest 5 bat + 1 wk + 1 allro + 2 spinners + 2 fast/medium

I think this is fine.

But 2 spinners required Plumji? Sanath, Sachin, (most proly) AD Silva and if not Hooper are already there.

[Maniraj]

2 allrounder or 3 fast bowler will be fine :P

Fair enough.

So, what do we want to finalise - One spinner Plus 2 all rounders Plus 2 Pacers/Medium Pacers or One spinner Plus 3 Medium Pacers/Pacers plus one allrounder?

Sudhir I dont think that you are that sensitive. :confused2:

We welcome all questions and concerns, easily!

Sachin was selected without any poll because you know Sachin's fan strength in this forum and the poll would be a waste of time for all. What is the purpose when the result of poll is something like 25 for Sachin : 2?

4 bat +2 ar+1 wk +2 spin+ 2 fast
We have already gone with 5 batsmen.
So suggest anything that includes 5 Batsmen

1. 5 Bat + 2 AR + 1 WK + 1 Sp + 2 P/MP
2. 5 Bat + 1 AR + 1 WK + 1 Sp + 3 P/MP
3. 5 Bat + 1 AR + 1 WK + 2 Sp + 2 P/MP

(assuming all ARs are medium pacers. Plus Aravinda, Sachin and Jayasurya are already there as parttime spinners.)

Sachin was selected without any poll because you know Sachin's fan strength in this forum and the poll would be a waste of time for all. What is the purpose when the result of poll is something like 25 for Sachin : 2?

i was just looking for the criteria - whether it was greatness etc because in that case wasim akram with 500+ wickets demands automatic entry into the team as well......ok, now i get the basis for "unanimous" selection for sachin - as i said, i dont like to spoil the fun anymore

[Puliyan_Biryani]

Plum, I vote for 2nd option. 1 good all-rounder is more than enough if we pick 4 good wicket-taking bowlers. And there are also some handy part-timers to fill in.

Why Sachin should not be a unanimous choice? You mean to say there are two better openers than Sachin in ODIs?

[MADDY]

Why Sachin should not be a unanimous choice? You mean to say there are two better openers than Sachin in ODIs?

in that way, there cannot be a better opening bowler than Akram - will he be made a unanimous choice without polls?

[littlemaster1982]

No, I want a straight answer.

P.S: I have nothing against Akram, so I won't be having any problems if he is an unanimous choice.

[MADDY]

no, there are no better openers than sachin IMO too but giving him a "unopposed selection" was taking for granted everyone's opinion

[littlemaster1982]

No, I want a straight answer

It's not taking anyone for granted. There's a second openers slot for those who want to vote for other than Sachin. If some one wants to open for two opening batsmen other than Sachin, then they are not following cricket properly.

:notthatway: Riyazz...

LM is not trying to say like what u have understood :D

Sachin is automatic choice or default choice..

I am not sure what Maddy is looking for :sad:

[littlemaster1982]

Riyazz,

It's not about taste or opinion. You may not like Sachin or don't want to vote for him, that's your personal choice. But you cannot disagree that he is the no.1 ODI batsman (opener, to be precise). This poll is an exercise of picking the best in each position, as simple as that.

[Riyazz]

oh k....

[19thmay]

Naanellam ICC ranking-laye avaru irruka koodadhunu nenaikiren.

[littlemaster1982]

Plum,

You have already started the poll, but I feel that's pointless. When it comes to opening in ODIs, no one comes near to Sachin. Why should we need a poll for something obvious?

[MADDY]

:notthatway: Riyazz...

LM is not trying to say like what u have understood :D

Sachin is automatic choice or default choice..

I am not sure what Maddy is looking for :sad:

I dont think Sachin played long in No.4 postion.And also his record speaks for my comment as automatic choice

No comments. (But Sachin is said to be the God of Cricket :D (Most ppl agree that))

Chapell thought so too and we paid heavy price for that. Why would you make a succesful opener to bat at no.4? How is Sehwag and Gilchrist is a better pair than Sachin and Gilchrist?

And I still stand by what I said earlier. No one can question Sachin's place as an opener.

Sridhar already said we would talk about Akram when there is a poll about bowlers.


ellame, stats, records and "cricket playing experience" vechittu, "i feel he is the best"-ngra basis-la pick pannitte poittrukalaame?? yen polls vekkanum?

Sachin is not just about stats and records. Statistics just prove why he is considered as best. Not the other way round.

[Riyazz]

[Plum]

Maddy, more than anyone else, Sachin stands out in his position. Agree/Disagree?

This was the basis of my choice not to have a poll earlier.

[MADDY]

Maddy, more than anyone else, Sachin stands out in his position. Agree/Disagree?

batting - agree but entire team-nnu paatha, i cant imagine anyone else at no.6 too other than bevan who will lose the poll anyways.......and Akram & warne are equal achievers/talent......

Indha panjayathai ninga opener slot pathi pesum podhu vandhu sachinkkum serthu poll veikkanumnu sollirukanum. 5th position pathi pesum podhu vandhu pesaradhu nalla illa.

Gilchrist was my favorite opener but he wasn't selected. Idhukaaga naanga ellam ukkarndhu dharna panroma ? :huh:

it occured to me yesterday only - as riyazz or someone had said, initially we thought it was selecting best pair for sachin but after 3-4 polls, i realised all great players were put through polls except for sachin - so i just needed to know the reason for it...........ofcourse, it ballooned into a big debate.....

[Plum]

Maddy, do you think Dhoni has already surpassed gilchrist as an all-time choice for wicketkeeper-batsman?
I mean, obviously as dhoni fan, one would choose him over gilchrist but if you purely apply ability, records, proven matchwinning skills?

I think Bevan is an automatic choice for No.6. Nobody plays better than him at that position. For No.5 my choices are Yuvraj and Inzamam. Inzamam had this knack of switching to top gear before you realize. Can't think of anyone else for No.5.

[Riyazz]

:yes: gilchrist is all time favourite wk........ dhoni is a best captain.. but in wk wise not a best..........

[Plum]

nyaayamAna pEchu. Gilchrist is almost an automatic choice for wk-bat, if not for #7 not being his normal position in ODIs and the presence of Andy Flower, Dhoni etc as contenders. Even then, their record pales before Gilly and only the position being #7 prevents him from being an unopposed candidate, i think.

[Sourav]

I find it quite unnecessary to nominate Bevan as his S/R is 69, and it seems to me he made a reputation out of salvaging situations where a lot of overs were left for a smaller reqd r/r, and used his patience to score at a slow rate and win the match. A significant skill, ofcourse but not worthy of being in the company of sachin, lara et al in the same team. Do you need Bevan to salvage this team?

The Strike rate 69 is the clearest indicator of this.

[Puliyan_Biryani]

Plum, Bevan's strike rate is due to a few things.

1) The team he played for (I mean Slater and Taylor opening :banghead:). He was left to salvage bad starts most of the times.
2) The quality of the opposition.
3) Quality of pitches he played most. Aussie pitches of those days aren't really 300+ pitches.
4) 230-240 was considered a match-winning total those days. So strike rates-la konjam leeway kodukkalaam.

Also, look at his performance in tough pitches. The match against England in 2003 world cup was a classic example. He looked totally unperturbed when all the other batsmen were struggling (except Bichel who was living the day of his life :D).

Plum, you never know. A line up consisting of Sehwag, Gambhir, Dravid, Sachin was blown up by a not so great bowler just recently :P Bevan was never known as a hitter/slogger, but he gets the job done. I can't even think of anyone else in the place of Bevan at 6.

LM,

Inzi/aravindha have always been the leader of their batting line up. I think they can do whatever bevan can do and even better...if they have to play bevans role in this team - consolidation, with better strike rate.

So I think a person like Steve waugh - a solid captain , followed by gilli would suit this team better.

Inzamam and Aravinda haven't played at 6 much, right? It's a specialist position and I feel Bevan is more than a specialist. Honestly I don't see Aravinda or Inzi doing this (http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/65624.html). No disrespect meant to Aravinda/Inzi.

Poll summA jollykAga dhaan. SaNdai ellAm poikA poikA pOdalAm. No serious!

[ajithfederer]

No Plum. The issue has certainly gone out of hands and it has left a bad taste in one's mouth.

While I agree that there is nobody above the system there is a certain way to approach things. People could have made a request to conduct a poll with Tendulkar included for opener slot or should have just remained silent. One thing to note here is That is why I said to Maddy that his timing was wrong but not his question.

Main Thread (http://forumhub.mayyam.com/hub/viewtopic.php?t=14045&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0). The main thread was started in March and it went 25 pages. It's November now. Now making an issue out of it is certainly not worth discussing. Sorry to say this but I find it very very bad. Subsequent arguments have been pointless. And it's useless to be a part of this futile exercise.

Bradman XI-laye vandhutom, aama idhu enna biskothu 11 :wave:.

[ajithfederer]

Sridar/plum (I said this on the first day itself)

Sorry to say this but this why I said we will just get the entire damn team from all the hubbers and get done with it. This process would have been much simpler and would have avoided so many embarrassments.

Theru izhuthu nadutheruvula vittadhu dhan micham.


Plum, You have done a thankless job till now. I wholeheartedly respect you for all the efforts you have put till now. But don't waste your time/energy in future for such things. :wave:

We are better than that, aren't we?

Opinions differ. Indisputable fact also can be questioned by opinion. This is inevitable.

Light teeskONdi boss.

Suppose you want to choose the most succesful MD after 1991, do we need a poll for it? idhu fact. But as an IR fan, I can redefine success, and say, Successna enna Oscar award mattumA? Commercial success mattumA? Quality mattum vechu pArthA etc. idhu opinion questioning fact.

nammaLum, pOllE kUdAdhunnu adam pidikka thEvai illai enbadhu en karuththu.

People will always express their opinions - sometimes mutedly, sometimes vocally, sometimes unfairly, sometimes with a mischievous intent.

I understand that for you, Sachin is more important than an idle poll. So, do feel free to keep away from this frivolous exercise. adhula endha thappum illai.

As for the poll, the idea is to provoke discussions. 10 post my daddy strongernu vandhAlum, 2 posts are coming talking about specific matches, instances leading to some memories. andha oru reasonukkAga, I am inclined to continue this exercise.
(The Bevan match LM linked, I remember seeing it from 82/6 to 248/8. Can remember many moments from the match instantly.)

de Silva is a pretty good part-time bowlers. Intelligentelly, tricking the batsmen into a mistake etc. I would say de Silva is on par with Sachin if not an edge better.

With the exception of Vettori, Jayasuriya was the best left arm spinner in cricket. thavakkaLai Adams, Sangadabadhi, Giles all two steps back ya.

Avoid meesic analogies to prevent fossible raNakaLam.

[ajithfederer]

No. I am not against Poll. It is just that when one thing has been decided and moved on and it has been some time since that happened, make a rewind and come back halfway through and question why there was no poll?.

When people can ask why no poll for Tendulkar, I can ask them why didn't you ask that question in the first place?. As simple as that. This is making a mockery out of the entire process that has happened so far. I am not game for such questions/discussions.

i dont get the logic at all - why cant someone appeal after sometime? how does it tantamount to mocking the process?

[ajithfederer]

It is definitely making a mockery of the process. When people have started discussing about positions 2-5 you sit quiet and now come and ask why there was no poll. It is questioning the integrity of everybody who has taken efforts to do this exercise here. That thread was there for 8 months.

I throw a similar question at u.

I have a doubt and I think you waited all this time just to sling mud at Tendulkar as you have time and again done very effectively. Tell me one good reason why I should not ask this question to you.

[P_R]

Feddy, to be fair to MADDY, he asked this question much earlier. It has risen to a crescendo now that's all.

[Vivasaayi]

Inzamam and Aravinda haven't played at 6 much, right? It's a specialist position and I feel Bevan is more than a specialist. Honestly I don't see Aravinda or Inzi doing this (http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/65624.html). No disrespect meant to Aravinda/Inzi.

Thats what I mean..If situation requires them(Aravinda/Inzi) to steady the innings - they can do..especially Inzi. The steadying the ship activity would be done in the middle order(no 4 and no 5) itself.There is no requirement of Bevan at 6-ngreen.

Number of 4 and 5 are good in playing according to the situation and class acts...why do we need to hire number 6 for the same work?

no feddy, i have clearly said its just abt "process" and not abt sridhar or plum and i accepted they didnt have any intentions in selecting sachin unanimously..........if people still want to interpret my questions as personal/integrity etc - i feel this tantamounts to questioning my integrity......

why did i have to wait - i could have slung mud right away - isnt it?? to me timing is irrelevant, really........

[P_R]

Feddy, as I recall he had made the point earlier. Not much attention was paid to it because (possibly) most of those in the thread it is a moot point. But he seems to feel strongly about the process. Poll-um vechAchchu.

For the life of me, I can't understand how anyone would prefer someone else other than Sachin for opening in ODIs.

But I'd suggest taking things at face value and moving on. Second guessing intentions etc. never gets anywhere.

[MADDY]

Not enough P_R

when people want a fair process shout it out when it starts and not while its in the middle.

why shouldnt we question in the middle - i still dont get the logic......court casesla kooda there is a time frame for appealing a judgement - thats the standard throughout the world

[ajithfederer]

I'm not against Poll. As a hardcore tendulkar fan i am always for democracy. When people (Plum especially) has worked a lot in doing this, it is just the arbitrary questioning that I am not in agreement with.

To say more eloquently I find the questioning to be odd when they themselves are doing a service. An awkward moment so to say.

[P_R]

I am also inclined not to take this seriously or second guessing intentions. Bottom line, let's keep the discussions, anecdotes, match recalls, remembrances, nostalgia going...I'd like more of the "When I woke up at 4AM on a margazhi early morning to watch the boxing day test" type of posts...

beven - great odi player, play very well in pressure situations...

I think Bevan is an automatic choice for No.6. Nobody plays better than him at that position. For No.5 my choices are Yuvraj and Inzamam. Inzamam had this knack of switching to top gear before you realize. Can't think of anyone else for No.5.

[MADDY]

i nominate yuvraj,

U can nominate 3(max)...
ok, then...
1.yuvi
2.inzi
3.beven

yuvi - personal fav, can tear-apart the bowling attacks wen he is in great nick,
inzi - slow-a start panni singles-a eduthu slog overs-la adichu thuvamsam pannuvaru.
beven - great odi player, play very well in pressure situations...

I think Bevan is an automatic choice for No.6. Nobody plays better than him at that position. For No.5 my choices are Yuvraj and Inzamam. Inzamam had this knack of switching to top gear before you realize. Can't think of anyone else for No.5.
i think its a nomination.
i couldn't find maddy's.

i have withdrawn the nomination, thanks Sourav :)

[Plum]

thanks feeyar.

Reg #5 and #6, again, there seem to be conflicting opinions.

#6 - we almost decided will be a medium pace allrounder but LM has given prAdhu for Bevan.

Anyone has any objections to including Bevan as a candidate at #6 along with other all rounders?

adhaiyum ippOvE start paNNidalAm.

[P_R]

Nember 6 - Jonty Rhodes

We have enough batsmen, bowlers.
Bevan is a good finisher, innings pacer etc. But with this batting line up I don't see us having to rely on Bevan. vandhavaraikkum laabam Rhodes would be a welcome addition to the team. Oru 20-30 run kaapaathi tharuvaapla.

Anyway my number 7 is Gilchrist. So we can do without Bevan in the line-up.

[Plum]

sari let #6 be free for all. All Rounder vENumnAlum, Batsman vENumnAlum #6-la nominate paNNunga ellOrum. Obviously, Pollock ellAm #6 mudiyAdhu so we are probably talking of Flintoff etc.

Note: Looks like Kallis will create a record by being nominated in the poll for maximum # of positions, without being selected for any of those - kind of reflects his career, doesnt it?

[Vivasaayi]

6. Steven Waugh (C)

http://www.espncricinfo.com/legends-of-cricket/content/site/451900.html

Plum - keep in mind that he a reliable medium pace bowler.

A splendid captain and ofcourse a GREAT Batsman, can play according to situation.Best combination for number 6.

Ranatunga is a very good runner between the wickets despite his weight / size...

:oops2: I forget to add the name of Inzy for the second quote.

Arjuna was too clever and places the ball very well so that he can walk a single rather run. Preservation of energy looked like his principle. He preserved his energy by walking those singles and even in the final overs he played more balls very fine left and right of the WK. If needed, he started to hit the balls between long on and mid-wicket and few hits over extra-cover too. But his fielding is average.

[P_R]

Please don't club Ranatunga with Inzi (club paNNA brammAndamAna oru ruvam kidaikkin).

Ranatunga is deceptive. He can sprint between wickets and surprise when the situation demands. Particularly great coordination with de Silva and they used to steal singles. His famous walks were almost never opportunities for 2 that he turned to 1 through lethargy. Simple energy conservation. EllArum lampoonittaanga.

Of course nember 5 for StevvA.
In addition to batting exploits he was the proverbial 'idea bowler'.

[Plum]

Idea bowler :lol:

Yes, feeyaar, the reasons you gave, that's'why i chose Ranatunga as a nomination. I'll also prop him up for captain(if selectedn which is unlikely) for two reasons:
1. He is a leader and rose above tamil-sinhalese to promote murali since he saw that as an end to forge a winning team. It is easy tosay today to say that was a given but i think when murali started out, without an imposing record, a lesser sinhalese captain might not have bothered to fight for murali. He can rise above white man differences if made incharge of them. I am not sure if a white captain can rise above their natural disdain for subcontinentals(never mind the platitudes they spout in conferences and interviews) other than tendulkar. I am not saying ranatunga is altruistic but he is more practical minded in getting his team together to work as an unit.
2. Quite a smart captain.

Flau, 1 ellAm ellA sfortsmanum seyyuradhu dhaan. I am not taking anything from Ranatunga just saying other Sinhalese captains won't do it ellAm over. Only people on the outside are cognizant of such difference.

Anyway, indha saNdaikOzhiness, veLLaikaaran-nammaLai-suraNduraan pongal are precisely the reasons why I won't want such a captain.

Pick a captain for cricketing reasons. On field decisions, strategy, response to situations etc. AFAI have seen - in this lot I'd pick, Steve Waugh.

And Ranatunga is quite capable of big hits too.
In the '96 WC final he is - as usual - playing a supporting role to de Silva. And he plays a lot of intentional edge/ deflection/glance strokes. Then Warne loses control of a ball and it goes too full and Ranatunga deposits it into the squareleg crowd. It was such a - eppo thEvaiyO, appo dhaan weight-ai kaamippOm- moment :-)

But over five years after the report was finally released, and more than seven years after the inquiry began, Justice Qayyum told Cricinfo that he hadn't wanted a "great player" like Wasim to be banned, especially towards the end of his career. "For Wasim I had some soft corner for him. He was a very great player, a very great bowler and I was his fan, and therefore that thing did weigh with me. Two things - one, I didn't want that the cricket should be deprived of his participation, and the other was that I didn't want that towards the end of his career... he should be banned or something like that. My idea was not to find people guilty and then punish them. It was more of a case where I had to do something to put an end to the practice in future. What had happened had happened. You couldn't turn the clock back but you had to make sure they wouldn't repeat what they were doing."




In his report submitted in 2000, Justice Qayyum - now retired - had fined Akram and recommended he never be allowed to captain Pakistan again. To quote his verdict: "This commission feels that all is not well here and that Wasim Akram is not above board. He has not co-operated with this Commission. It is only by giving Wasim Akram the benefit of the doubt after Ata-ur-Rehman changed his testimony in suspicious circumstances that he has not been found guilty of match-fixing. He cannot be said to be above suspicion."

Yuvi vs S Waugh - doesnt sound right.

If Yuvi, why not Symonds? Whatever Yuvi can do, Symonds can do equally well or better, no?

Fielding: Symonds>>>>> Yuvi
Acting like good fielding: Yuvi>>>>> Symonds
Bowling: Symmo>Yuvi

Batting: Symmo > Yuvi in dependability
= in explosiveness
= in frequency of explosiveness
Temparament and team orientation also mostly = only.

sourav, what I meant was Symonds is a better version of Yuvi.

Steve Waugh et al bring different strengths to the team. They cant be compared with Symonds. Selecting them is for a different reason than selecting Yuvi/Symonds
But if you want a hard hitting, explosive all rounder who can field well, then, my contention is you are better off with Symonds.

Ofcourse, you are sayingt hat you want Yuvi, period. Which is fine.
