[P_R]

Gilli
I espet unopposed victory.

Let us change the nomination pattern this time.

Only those who will vote for someone other than Gilli nominate some other person with your arguments defending him.

Unopposed? No way.
Gilly is an opening batsman in ODIs. #7 is a finisher role which requires someone with the ability to vary tempo as required. MS Dhoni is the ideal candidate with attacking plus consolidating skills. Decent keeping plus can captain when Waugh steps off the field
Gilly has always been a throw it all master at the top order with licence to kill. At #7, he will not have the mental luxury of throwing his bat assuming that the Pontings, Martyns, Waughses and Bevans will rebuild if he fails. I am not sure if Gilly will take that pressure.
He has done that in tests but this is a different ball game, Sehwag being a prime example why.
MSDhoni, my candidate.
Andy Flower deserves a honorary mention, too.
Sanga and Kaluwitharana can throw their hat, too, although Sanga at #7 isnt an option.
Moin Khan/ Latif for the spinners?
Mongia to please the bookies lobby?
