What about Deadly's fielding? Or Barnes' for that matter?

Only KP and Flintoff would be knocking on an all time World XI door, and they'd be turned away.

Gooch
Stewart
Trott
Gower
KP
Colly
Botham
Flintoff
Swann
Gough
Broad

i'll get flamed for this but Collingwood doesn't make it into an all-time XI for me

he was decent for a long-ish time but not sure an average of 35 gets you into an all-time XI

He was a good part time bowler. I wouldn't argue too much if Smith, Hick, Fairbrother, or Morgan were ahead of him though.

Sidebottom. Good pick. Ryan not Arnie? :-)

Gooch, Thorpe and Hick are near misses.

Ryan didn't play that many ODI's. Prematurely axed, as demonstrated at the WT20.

I'm presuming he did, as splinters always picks him in his side.

Obviously 'statistics' aren't important on this occasion- England's leading ODI scorer isn't there.

Robin Smith - highest score of 167 still not been beaten either.

Strauss was a very under rated ODI player too. Passed 150 twice I think, including the last WC.

England's batting averages against what are now full member sides, minimum 2000 runs.
