Was tougher than I though trying to select this team and there are some very good ODI players that didn't get nominated, a couple being:
Gavin Larsen, 3rd best economy rate.
Kyle Mills, was once ranked as the best ODI bowler in the game.Anyway I went with
Turner
Guptill
Williamson
Taylor
Astle
McCullum
Cairns
Vettori
Hadlee
Bond
PringleThe top 4 batsmen pick themselves with their outstanding records.
Went with Astle over Crowe mainly for his 16 tonnes (which was at the time a record) and we can't have an all time ODI XI without a dibbly dobbly. -

Probably Turner. Much longer career and obviously an option as a bowler ( hence me missing him in the first place )

Well, even with the polls not due to close for another few days yet our ODI team is looking pretty clear-cut.
Guptill
Astle
Williamson
Crowe
Taylor
McCullum (wk)
C Cairns
Vettori
Hadlee
Bond
BoultAstle with 6 votes is the one who's place is in most jeopardy, but not really because his nearest rival Chirs Harris is quite far behind on 3 votes, with Oram, Styris and Ferguson all with 2 a piece.
I'll be very surprised if there are any changes once the polls close.
