Current Idiots XI

Herschelle Gibbs
Xavier Marshall
Ricky Ponting
Ian Bell (Can't leave Ian Bell out of any XI)
Jesse Ryder
Andrew Symonds
+ Matt Prior
Harbhajan Singh
Sreesanth
Andre Nel
Md. Asif

Solid side of clowns, that.

No room for Marlon Samuels?

Mark Vermeulen , the drunken arsonist needs a place in there somewhere!

Darren Powell should be foremost in any idiots XI.

Jesse Ryder
Gibbs
X Marshall
Samules
Malik
Afridi
Prior
Shoaib
Asif
Bhajji
Sreesanth

Bhajji deserves to be at #8 in that line-up. He has 4 (or 5) half centuries in the last 6 (or 7) tests he played against Aus

I decided to send Shoaib and Asif as "pinch" hitters.

And talk about selfishly taking large piece of the pie for your home team

Isn't only Shoaib the "hitter" among the two ?

I wouldn't keep Ponting, Bell and Nel in that list. Ponting and Nel aren't the spoilt rotten children of the damned type idiots unlike the others up there.

And Bell shouldn't be on any list - he'll surely cop out when the going gets tough. Even from an Idiots XI list.

DJ, putting Vermeulen in there is not nice. Behave.

My replacement choices - Marlon Samuels, Afridi, maybe Akhtar.

And what, just because his psychological problems are notified by the Health Authorities it makes a difference than Nel and his whole Gunther issue etc.

A lot of Cricket players have psychological problems, mild usually. Apart from some freak cases.

You have to be a bit doolally to face cork balls flying over 100 mph at you every so often.

Robin Smith for example.

Bell's not an idiot. Seems quite a nice young man.

He's just a bit crap.

Doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as the majority of the asshats named in this thread.

Dominic Cork as coach

Anyone who sets fire to buildings when Mugabe's the man running things has more than 'mild psychological problems'. And mentioning Nel et al in the same breath is just plain silly.

Unless of course 'mild psychological problems' means something else entirely in Wales.

Why does it matter about Wales all the time? Why do you keep bringing it up?

Because it's there.

Hilarious.

Phurt.

Agree about Bell. Wouldn't put Nel in either: In interviews he comes across as a pretty bright fellow. (As did Robert Key, a former favourite choice in lists like these.)

No Shoaib?

Bell in the XI so that the English do not feel left out.

And Andre Nel 'is' an idiot on a cricket field.
