Do take into consideration:

Team balance and combinations
The specified batting order
Variety in the batting line-up and bowling attack
Impact, consistency and match winning ability of players
Major tournament records of players
Fielding and leadership & so on

Assume that the matches will be played on a decent ODI wicket [according to current rules and regulations] with enough assistance there for the bowlers as well as runs for the batsmen when they get in.

Also assume that the players are in decent nick.

So which one of the 10 teams below do you think will take it out?


Team 1​

Mods if it's not too much of a hassle pls add a poll in there with options Team 1 to Team 10. Cheers fellas.
 
Kapil dev
Mitchell Starc
Shane Bond
Muttiah

Team 5 Killer bowling lineup. Bowlers win you matches.

Viv Richards at 3 with excellent openers. Done.
 
Up till now:

Team 6: 2 Votes
Team 5, Team 1 and Team 8: 1 Vote

Team 6 winning it.
 
Whichever team MS Dhoni bats for literally has 50% greater odds of winning against its nearly rivals. Never has been a chaser/finisher as good as him.
 
Team - 5

Kapil, Starc, Bond, Murali and Viv ... easily the most explosive team with greatest ODI batsman, allrounder and spinner. Bond and Starc too are up there with ATGs as far as ability is concerned.
 
Team 6 perfect combination . 3 out of 5 times atleast one of openers will click. Then with virat abd and pietersen they have a super solid middle order capable of adjusting in any condition and match situation. All five can take the attack to opposition whenever required.Then they have two atg fast bowling allrounders who will take wickets and be economical at same time.Brett lee will always take wickets with his express pace. Then spin bowling due of mysterious narine and a great odi spinner of tahir will complement each other perfectly. For back up they have dilshan and williams who can also keep things tight.
I see it as a perfect team with probably almost all players barring one / two able to win match on their own. A team capable of chasing down any target and also able to defend any target.
 
Cheers to everyone who have posted their pick. Keep those votes coming fellas.
 
Team 6. Everything's Perfect;

* Solid Openers, ****
* Match Winning Middle Order, *****
* Good Finishing Allrounders, ***
* Good Pace attack and; *****
* Nice Spin Duo *****

Except For 1 Or 2 players, seeing that :P each team having atleast 1 player from all the Test nation, This has No weak links. My money's on 6

:ab:kohli2:kp These are a Force to Reckon with :ma

Team 8 for me, excellent top order, great finishers and a fantastic bowling attack with pace and spin. Only weakness is the middle order which is a little thin but they''ll do the job in that line up, a very balanced team,

I'd have Dhoni at no.5 , no.7 is too low for him and I'd have Stokes at no.6
 
Cheers mods for the poll. Good stuff keep voting peeps. Team 6 running away with it atm.
 
Imran, Kohli, ABD, KP, Hadlee. And there are other decent players like Dilshan, Tahir, Narine. What a strong team!
 
In a league (9 match each), Team 5 & 6 should make the final. In an one off final anyone can win (that's true for every team - every team has few outstanding individual, who can win a match alone on his day)., but in a best of 3 or best of 5 final, team 6 should win.
 
By the way, am I missing Wasim Akram here? No Lillee either!!!
 
Team - 5

Greatest ODI all-rounder :harby

Indians :)))
 
Assign them attributes according to stats(stats value adjusted per era) and simulate a tournament.
 
Team 6 is way overpowered, definitely the one to win many games.
 
No, he was not.

Just because Imran a lot of times did not bowl does not make Kapil the greatest ODI all rounder of his time.

Even Flintoff wipes the floor with Kapil.... Imran, Kallis, Hadlee, Pollock, all were better all-rounders, or at least same category.... Only an indian would call him GOAT, even in ODIs..... Decent 5th-6th bowler and inconsistent lower oder hitter....
 
Looks like Team 6 has got this in the bag. Some formidable line-ups to choose from!
 
Sneaky sneaky baby drive :))

Again thanks to everyone who voted good stuff. So Team 6 it is then.
 
My guess is team 6 won from team 5, with more depth in bowling and very,very solid middle order.
