A few comments

• Gordon Greenidge - the most destrictive batsman of his time after King Viv - better than Saeed Anwar IMO

• Sachin has to play, most ODI runs and hundreds (46) at a healthy average of 45

Also Sachin has most world cup runs at an excellent average of almost 58. The 2011 world cup will be his record 6th (jointly with Miandad)

• Viv Richards is an automatic choice for any world XI

• very hard for me to choose 2 among Miandad, Lara, Ponting, Inzi and Aravinda De Silva. went for Miandad because he often batted in a crisis situation and did very well

• Waqar Younis has most 5-wicket hauls (13)

• Atleast in ODIs Saqlain was better than Warne. He was the quickest to 200 ODI wickets (104th match) and his overall stats are better than Warne
