    Candidate #1:
    Adam Craig Gilchrist:
    The man who redefined the role of a keeper-batsman to a batsman-keeper. Echoes of his success still resound in the selection of batsman-keeper in almost all international teams now. Check this scorecard
    A team could win a tournament with a keeper at #10. Can you imagine it now? No way, not after AC Gilchrist showed the way

    Sanath Teran Jayasurya

    A lower order biffer-cum-spinner-turned-pinch-hitter-turned-opener-turned-revolutionary. When on song, very few teams could contain him. although his success rate is higher in the sub-continent. What's more, a more than useful left arm spinner, who can fire it in at a respectable career E/R of 4.78 with 300+ ODI wickets. Fit and raring to go at 40+ years of age. Electric fielder in the beginning of his career, and still a decent, safe fielder, probably better than Indian colts half his age. You want to think ten times before rejecting his candidature, especially if the subcontinent is the choice of venue.

    Candidate #3:
    Sourav Chandidas Ganguly

    Apart from other qualifications, Dada is the only one who has proof of the pudding - namely, he is the only international cricketer to have proven on field that he can be a succesful partner to GOD. If you want someone who has proof of being succesful with Sachin, look no further than this man, who offers a remarkable buffet of silken, smooth drives on the offside, combined with elegant lofts straight down the field, especially off left-arm spinners, who seem to have rubbed him the wrong way as a tribe; such is his contempt for them!
    Not to mention an ability to get up the noses of the opposition.

    Virender Sehwag
    He chose to play for the Daredevils in the IPL. An apter marriage of Club name and player characteristic, you cannot find in the history of Cricket. A twisted man, whose assesment of risk mocks at the whole concept of Risk management. He exudes irreverence - to theories, to pitches, to bowlers' reputations, to situations. He is there to hit the ball, and hit, he will, if he finds the ball there to be hit. One of the very few practitioners of butchery, who makes it a watchable craft. Choose him if you want high-octane thrill sustainable for long periods, unlike other comptetitors, including the irrepressible Gilly.

    Instead of deleting, maybe it can be locked.
