Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag will open the innings for the All-Time ODI Dream Team
Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag and Kapil Dec have been named in the All-Time ODI Dream Team. The team was announced to coincide with the 40th anniversary of the first one-day international, which was played between Australia and England at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on January 5, 1971.
The dream team was announced on the basis of the almost 600,000 votes cast by fans from 97 countries on www.icc-cricket.com, an ICC release said. The team, which could be chosen from a shortlist of 48 players in different categories, has three cricketers from Australia and India, two from West Indies, and one each from South Africa, Sri Lanka and Pakistan.
Fans also had a chance to pick their favourite game from a choice of 10 memorable matches, the release said, adding the momentous "438" game between South Africa and Australia in Johannesburg in 2006 has been voted the best ODI yet.
The All-Time ODI Dream Team is:
Opening batsmen: Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag (both Ind)
Middle order: Brian Lara, Viv Richards (both WI) and Ricky Ponting (Aus)
All-rounder: Kapil Dev (Ind)
