Who do you think would win between a World XI made up from the Super eight teams except Australia Vs Australia?
And who would you have captain the World XI?

I assume that you are only picking Flintoff as a bowler (which is fair enough).Stephen Fleming is by far the best captain but it would be hard for him to get a game. I would choose Graeme Smith, by default really.
This is the team I would pick..
1 Graeme Smith (c)
2 Sanath Jayasuriya
3 Jaques Kallis
4 Kevin Peitersen
5 Kumar Sangakarra
6 Ramnaresh Sarwan
7 Andrew Flintoff
8 Shaun Pollock
9 Daniel Vettori
10 Shane Bond
11 Muttiah Muralitharan
Definately a gun outfit, but the form of the Aussies would see them home IMO.
Because Pollock and Vettori have been so much better with the bat than Flintoff recently...I assume that you are only picking Flintoff as a bowler (which is fair enough).
In this case, he should be at number 9.
But Vettori has been woeful with the bat recently. He hasn't gone past 20 in the last 14 times he has batted since his 79 in the Champions Trophy last year.Because Pollock and Vettori have been so much better with the bat than Flintoff recently...
Need to turn the sarcasm detector on mate.But Vettori has been woeful with the bat recently. He hasn't gone past 20 in the last 14 times he has batted since his 79 in the Champions Trophy last year.
Doh!Need to turn the sarcasm detector on mate.

I would certainly replace Flintoff with Styris Sarwan, maybe, with Yuvraj Singh.Stephen Fleming is by far the best captain but it would be hard for him to get a game. I would choose Graeme Smith, by default really.
