Since everyone is coming up with this XI and that all time XI, here's my humble attempt at an all time Match Fixers XI.
All time Match Fixers XI
Herschelle Gibbs: One of the finest openers to play The modern cricket game. Aggressive and saves as many runs on the field as he scores.
Salman Butt: Just when the world started to look upto him as a reliable opener, he decided to play traunt. Still walks into the side.
Lou Vincent: Very u predictable but extremely talented. Got so many chances but threw, nah - sold, his wicket away!
Mohd. Azharuddin: Can walk into many normal cricket XIs on his day. Brilliant player, great fielder.
Hansie Cronje: Astute man, on and off the field. Dogged batsman and decent dibble dabble bowler. Will captain this side.
Ajay Jadeja: One of the best limited overs players for his country, adding to the list of fantastic fielders.
Umar Akmal: The real weak link in the side. Can be a fantastic batsman and and a sidey wicket keeper. Can be replaced by the standby players if Vincent takes on the gloves.
Manoj Prabhakar: Genuine all-rounder. Can even open the batting or come one down if needed. Real floater in the side. Can provide the masala quotes too.
Mohd. Asif: Undisputed talent and brilliant bowler. Not sure why he resorted to shady activities when he could do anything legally with the ball. He had mesmerized most batsman across the globe.
S. Sreesanth: Brilliant bowler, but he's in the team more for his penchant to work up the opposition and provide histrionics. Wanted to take Amir but he and Asif opening the bowling would have been boring.
Danish Kaneria: Quality leggie and genuine No. 11. Can pick wickets as well as keep scoring at bay.
12th man : Shakib Al Hasan: Fantastic all rounder. He's been left out since Jadeja, Cronje and Prabhakar provide the all rounder role and he's in the run for a minor offense unlike the others. Still if need be on slower pitches, he and Kaneria can be deadly.
Manager: Gurunath Meiyappan
