Re: TMS all-time World ODI XI
Kallis is the best all-rounder around but bat too slow in ODI's.
I would make a place for Klusener. Can't tell how many times he got South Africa out of trouble and was a matchwinner. Don't forget that he also bowled.
With Pollock being on the number 1-2 spot of ODI bowlers for the past 5 years, one of the other bowlers will have to make place for him. He also give a batting advantage. McGrath can't touch Pollock when it comes to ODI's.
Re: TMS all-time World ODI XI
^ But Klusener didn't play long enough to be in this class IMO, Kallis or Pollock IMO are still better than him.
Re: TMS all-time World ODI XI
Disagree
171 ODI’s with >3500 runs (41 ave at s/rate of 90) and >190 wickets (ave 29.9) are enough!!!
What Klusener did for RSA in ODI’s is unbelievable. Kallis will NEVER get recognised as Man of Series during World Cup as Klusener was done in England. In fact, Klusener is still doing great in provincial matches but due to the present quota system of the selectors won’t be selected for any more international matches. Every now and then Klusener is still the man of the match even during 4 day cricket.
