The Desis - rest of the IPL AllStars team

These 7 :

The Other Forren (Overseas) Players

Having chosen as we have the opening batsmen, only two more are allowed. There are various combinations , batsmen, bowler or all-rounder. As we have seen, the classy players have all done well, Bravo and Symonds are close, but I will go with another batsmen and a bowler.
Dilshan and De Villiers have been the backbone that saw Delhi do so well. Duminy also did very well, but for sheer elegance and stroke play that won matches, Ross Taylor gets my pick to play anywhere from 3-6.
Lasith Malinga and Brett Lee were the pick strike bowlers. but as I have only one choice, it would be Murlitharan. Though Warne or Vettori would not be far off.

The Opening Batsmen

Who says T20 is a young man's game?
It is perhaps ironic that they are not in the Australian team for the W-T20, next month ...
They have shown how a game can be taken out at the beginning of the innings. With only a rare slog do they annihilate the opposition to a point when their own luck runs out.

With the Indian pair of Viru and Gambhir not really winning a game it was left to the promising newcomer Manish Pandey and the suave Jack Kallis covet the opening spot. McCullum did well later on, when KKR was already practically out.
