Re: ODI Australian Team Of The Decade

I like your team, although I'd probably drop Waugh for Watson or Clarke, and Gillespie for Bracken.
 
Re: ODI Australian Team Of The Decade

How many ODIs did Warne actually play this decade?

I can't remember when he retired from it. Year?
 
Re: ODI Australian Team Of The Decade

I don't think Steve Waugh played any ODIs this decade - though I could be wrong. Mark Waugh was dropped in about 2002 as well. Bevo was well and trully past his best by 2000 and didn't play very long after.
 
Re: ODI Australian Team Of The Decade

Bevo played through the 2003 WC and retired in '04. Although he was definitely in his prime during the 90s, during the 2000s he still averaged 46 with quite a decent strike rake.

IMO that's enough to keep him in the team, when you look at who might replace him (Clarke at 44, Marto at 42, Mark Waugh at 40, mostly all with inferior strike rates)

Clarke and Marto - either would be preferable to Bevo in the 2000s - but most of all Lehman who is one of the best one day batsmen I have ever seen
 
Re: ODI Australian Team Of The Decade

Bevan for mine was the best ODI batsman I have ever seen, just for that reason I would play him. Having him and Hussey down the order could chase down any target, even if Bevan didn't quite have the same success this decade, I believe he still did enough.
