Just posting my reactions to the team of the year announced at the ICC Awards. They had:
Virender Sehwag (Ind),
Chris Gayle (WI),
Kevin Pietersen (Eng),
Tillakaratne Dilshan (SL),
Yuvraj Singh (Ind),
Martin Guptill (NZ),
MS Dhoni (Ind, captain, WK),
Andrew Flintoff (Eng),
Nuwan Kulasekara (SL),
Ajantha Mendis (SL),
Umar Gul (Pak),
12th man: Thilan Thushara (SL)

Let me just say that Andrew Flintoff is a ridiculous pick. Shakib, Watson and Bravo have all outplayed him this last year. My team? (new players have a *):
Gayle
Sehwag
Dilshan
*Kallis
Yuvraj
Dhoni (c & wk)
*Shakib
*Johnson
*Mashrafe (yes that's right 2 Bangladesh boys)
*Steyn
Umar Gul/Mendis
12th-Umar Gul/Mendis - depending on pitch. Kallis could be the 4th seamer or Gayle/Dilshan/Sehwag/Yuvraj the 2nd spinner depending on who doesn't play.

Couldn't find spots for Flintoff, Pietersen, Guptill, Kulasekara or Thushura.

K'sekara>>>>>>Mashrafe.

^ Kulasekara over Mashrafe and I agree with you completly

EDIT : cricketman beat me to it

 

[Cricketman]

Haven't seen much of Kallis this year though. How's he been? Too lazy to statsguru it myself...

 

[nakul]

Well According to me it would be

V.Sehwag
C.Gayle
T.Dilshan
C.Ferguson
Ab De Villiers
S.Afridi
Dhoni(C)
S.Broad
H.Singh
M.Johnson
L.Malinga

 

[Dare]

Gayle at 5?? Dont know how you came up with that...

 

[nakul]

Oops Edited..

 

[McLOVIN]

Gayle at 3?? Dont know how you came up with that...

here is a hint, either he opens or he is not in main 11

 

[nakul]

Hmm ok ok Edited Again

 

[McLOVIN]

and now why you have some 1 like Dilshan at 1 down, when he is having the form of his life!

let me make this easy for you, YOU CANT HAVE 3 OPENERS!!

Haven't seen much of Kallis this year though. How's he been? Too lazy to statsguru it myself...

This Year

Batting- 457 runs at 41. No centuries
Bowling- 4 wickets at 71

That's from 11 matches. Not spectacular Stats.

 

[Howsie]

1.Sehwag
2.Guptill
3.Ponting
4.De Villers
5.Yuvraj
6.Dhoni (WK)
7.Vettori (C)
8.Johnson
9.Kulasekara
10.Lee
11.Bond

Bond and Lee would open in that attack, I'd probably only give one of them 3-4 overs and Kulaserkara would come on.

 

[SaiSrini]

1.Sehwag
2.Guptill
3.Ponting
4.De Villers
5.Yuvraj
6.Dhoni (WK)
7.Vettori (C)

9.Kulasekara
10.Lee

Will have the same team, maybe replace Guptill for Dilshan.
