Best T20 batsmen and bowler.

[aussie1st]

If Hayden was still playing internationals he'd get the best batter easy. Symonds would be close but Hayden has been so consistent. Outside of them you have a whole bunch: AB De Villers, Yuvraj, Dilshan, KP and even Kallis has gone well recently. If our selectors ever pick Hodge he might top the list as he has the best T20 record of any current international.

Bowling hard to go past Gul who has been the leading wicket taker in both T20 WC. Mendis, Afridi and Malinga aren't far behind.

Gul/ wayne parnell

Dilshan / Gayle

Yuvraj is probably the best International T20 batsman, he isn't very good in the IPL . Gayle is awesome as well.

Best bowlers? Umar Gul, Shahid Afridi, RP Singh seems to have a liking for the game too.

 

[piriyanth]

Batting-Yuvraj Singh, Dilshan Mis bah Ul-Haq and Gilly.

Bowling- Afridi and Vettori

 

[Howsie]

Batsmen: Can't go past the all-time international run-scorer Brendon McCullum

Gayle, Dilshan, Yuvraj, Taylor would all be up there for me though. The best bowler in 20/20 cricket for me is Lasith Malinga, I'd rate him a lot higher then anyone else. Gul, Vettori, Mendis and Afridi are all up their though.

 

[Cricketman]

Lasith rocks, yorkers at will, blazing fast, and a deceptive slower ball.

Here's my T20 dreamteam -

Chris Gayle
Brenden McCullum +
AB de Villiars
Yuvraj Singh
Tilly Dilshan
MS Dhoni (c)
Shahid Afridi
Daniel Vettori
Umar Gul
RP Singh
Lasith Malinga

Thoughts?

 

[Howsie]

Get rid of RP Singh and it looks pretty solid. I'd probably open with Dilshan and get McCullum to move down the order. Dirk Nannes for Singh is what I'd be looking at.

 

[McLOVIN]

you could do a LOT better man ^^ (edit: to Cricketman)

Gayle
Dilshan
De Villiars
Ross T.
Yuvraj
Afridi (4)
Sangakara + *
Vettori (3)
Gul (5)
Parnell/Nannes (1)
Malinga (2)

AB de Villiars
Yuvraj Singh
Tilly Dilshan
MS Dhoni (c)

Daniel Vettori
Umar Gul
RP Singh
Lasith Malinga

Thoughts?

nice team.

one thing I would do different is open with Dilshan. I would take out McCullum but I'm not sure who I would replace him with. Dilshan made his name as a opener in 20/20.

 

[Cricketman]

Perhaps replace him with Gautam Gambhir, move Dilshan up and stick GG in at 3.

Chris Gayle
Tilly Dilshan
Gautam Gambhir
AB de Villiers
Yuvraj Singh
MS Dhoni
Shahid Afridi
Vettori
Gul
Nannes
Slinga Malinga

Looks better.

Its a good thing Gilly and Hayden aren't currently playing as it would make picking a dreamteam a nightmare.

The teams above are pretty much spot on, unless the keeper is batting in the top 4, Dhoni would be pick.

 

[McLOVIN]

if Hayden was playing, i would drop Dilshan 1 down in my team (and drop Ross) and put Hayden to open with Gayle!

and i swear it would be amazing! if both of them stays there for 5-6 overs. plus my team already got the best bowlers, so no worries there.

Batsmen : Gayle/Yuvraj

Bowler : Gul/Vettori/Bracken/Malinga

Nathan Bracken?

 

[Pranav]

Nathan Bracken?

Yup, he is a very good bowler in both ODIs and T20s. And, in the past 2-3 years, he's been very economical as well.
