As the cricket world cup is taking a break so I thought of making the best odi team by decade . I am watching cricket from 96. So I will make the teams from 90's. No intersection is allowed. If you think a player merits selection in two different decades put him in the decade when you think he was at his peak.
90's team
1 sachin
2 Sanath
3 lara
4 de Silva
5 Andy flower(wk)
6 bevan
7.klusener
8.akram
9 warne
10 saqlain
11 Donald.
Choose sanath over Waugh, anwar and ganguly as i think he complements sachin better than the others. Choose de silva over inzamam and azhar for his dominant 1996 world cup. He was also possibly a more complete player than the other 2. Donald over waqar for his better performance in world cups. The other picks i think are inarguable
00's team
1.hayden
2.gilchrist(wk)
3.ponting
4.inzamam
5.yuvraz
6.hussey
7.symonds
8 . Lee
9 .bond
10. Murali.
11. Mcgrath.
The aussies dominated 00's. This team i think is an accurate reflection of their domination.
10's team
1. Rohit
2. Warner
3. Kohli
4. ABDV
5 . Shaqib
6. Dhoni (wk)
7. Stokes
8. Starc
9. Boult
10. Bumrah
11. Tahir.
90's team looks class apart in asian or spin friendly condition. While in flat batting decks it wil be a neck to neck fight between 2000 and 2010's team. 90's team i think lack power hitters for those pitches.
