I'm rather puzzled by this, particularly the bit where I can't vote for any Irishmen, but why not. All of them are in order of preference:

Peter Siddle, Ashton Agar, Steven Smith, Steven Crook, George Bailey
Ben Stokes, Steven Finn, Georgia Elwiss, Liam Dawson, Adam Lyth
Pravin Tambe, Ravi Ashwin, Ajinkya Rahane, Bhuvneshwar Kummar, Stuart Binny
Trent Boult, Tim Southee, Brendon McCullum, Kane Williamson
Misbah ul-Haq, Zulfiqar Babar, Yasir Shah, Anwar Ali
AB de Villiers, David Miller, Stiaan van Zyl, Marchant de Lange
Rangana Herath, Kumar Sangakkara, Dushmantha Chameera, Dhammika Prasad
Kraigg Brathwaite, Shiv Chanderpaul, Andre Russell, Rajindra Chandrika

you seem to have forgotten Bangladesh, who've beaten both Pakistan and India in limited overs series this year in order to push them into the champions trophy and are genuinely a good side

and scotland, who probably would have won their first ICC competition in ten years were it not for Ireland's terrible weather

I didn't forget them. The Table needed 32 players and it's hard to work a way to accomodate all teams, hence why I made the criteria for just the top 8 ranked teams.

If you'd like to vote for a Bangladeshi/Zimbabwean/Irish/Scottish player you're more than welcome to just nominate them on top of your others and if they get enough votes I'll include them in the table.

ABD and Steyn are a lock(though i will admit steyn is loosing a bit of zing recently but i would still walk him in to the team), Amla is also a lock in terms of best of SA there, but i went with fafu cause i like his strokeplay better. You cant complain much there right what would your SA team be ?

Wouldnt be AB as he is way overpraised, cant stand it when people treat him like he is the best at everything and I dont like the fact he brings himself on to bowl all the time. My favourites would be:

Dane Paterson, Stephen Cook, Quinton de Kock, Kyle Abbott and Imran Tahir (Amla)

Dane Paterson and Stephen Cook should both be in the test side now (Stephen should of years ago), Quinton de Kock I told people he would play for South Africa when he was around 16. Kyle Abbott should also be in the ODI side and maybe the Test side and I just like Imran Tahir. Steyn would be in my top 5 but Ive gone off him the past year or so and I would put Amla in but I ran out of places...
