With the 40th anniversary of the first one-day international fast approaching, the International Cricket Council (ICC) is going to name the best ODI team of all time.

What’s interesting is not only the naming of the team but also the timing of it, seeing that the ODI format is under serious threat thanks to the new kid on the block, the hugely popular Twenty20 format.

So who should be in the greatest ODI team?

This is my team:

Sachin Tendulkar (India).
Matthew Hayden (Australia).
Dean Jones (Australia).
Allan Border (Australia – Captain).
Martin Crowe (New Zealand).
Sir Richard Hadlee (New Zealand).
Adam Gilchrist (Australia).
Shane Warne (Australia).
Malcolm Marshall (West Indies).
Michael Holding (West Indies).
Glenn McGrath (Australia).

12th man: Allan Donald (South Africa).
