Hadlee was in the McGrath class as a ODI bowler.... and a pretty special batsman. No objections to Ambrose, Murali and Wasim... but in an all-time XI you should really be picking 5 guys who can each be relied up for 10 overs. Lillee or Marshall might be my pick.... though if you wanted more batting, Pollock has been as good a ODI bowler as any.

Actually.. that might work:

Adam Gilchrist
Sachin Tendulkar / Barry Richards
Dean Jones
Viv Richards
Brian Lara
Zaheer Abbas
Wasim Akram
Shaun Pollock
Richard Hadlee
Muttiah Muralitharan
Curtley Ambrose

Not a bad crew... just lacking anyone in Fleming's league as captain - though that lot shouldn't need anyone great
