Who would you choose in an all star ODI World XI team, including only current players?
David Warner, Warner has had a period of golden form since the 2015 World Cup, notching up four hundreds en route to scoring 1,054 runs at an average of 55.47Quinton de Kock, He has been a thorn for opposition bowlers with his stroke play and six hitting ability. South Africa's terrific run of late in ODIs has been largely due to De Kock's splendid starts.Virat Kohli, Greatest of his generationSteve Smith, 2nd Greatest of his generationAB De Villiers, 360-degree batsman who can hit any ball, anywhere, against any bowler. Enough said.MS Dhoni, Greater than Virat Kohli, if top 5 will fail, MS can stabilize the inningsBen Stokes, Best all-rounder, powerful frame, aggressive intent with bat and ball. Stokes will take care of finishing the things off with Dhoni.Sunil Narine, Most dangerous in limited overs cricket, every time Narine comes to bowl, he looks like taking a wicket. And he can bat.Mitchell Starc, Starc is quick to make life uncomfortable for opposition batsmen, especially with the bounce gained from his 1.96m height - and boasts greater control of swing. During the 2015 World Cuphe was named Player of the Tournament for his 22 victims at 10.18, very impressive.Imran tahir, Tahir has a reputation for being able to contain the middle-periods of matches while also taking wicket.Kagiso Rabada, A strapping, genuine quick, most exciting talent, definitely deserves a place in my playing XI
Who do you think are the best euro-basketball players in history?
3 Best Players in european basketball history 1. Sergei Belov (Russia) - few people know him, Many call him the Jerry West of Russia. He scored Soviet Union to a 51-50 victory over the U.S. in the gold medal game in the 1972 Munich Olympics. In 1992 he became the first international player to be elected in the Hall of Fame. 2. Dejan Bodiroga (Yoguslavia) - "It IS NOT my goal to impress people all I do comes from THE heart. (Dejan Bodiroga, Milan, 1996)" - A true basketball player that plays with passion. On the day of his 20th birthday (March 1st) he played at one of his memorable games: Stefanel defeated Panasonik (90:89) in Trieste. Bodiroga scored 51 points (12/15, 4/7, 15/7, 11 rebounds, 5 steals) he scored final 6 points and turned over the result from 84:89 to 90:89 at the last second of the game. - World Championship in Athens brought complete affirmation for Bodiroga. He was the MVP of the championship. Yoguslavia won the title 3. Dirk Nowitzki (Germany) - an all star, NBA MVP and the leader of the German National Team. An 7 footer who could shoot the ball like a shooting guard.

One evening, over a cup of tea, we were having a discussion on this topic and both of us came up with a more or less same playing XI. My dad’s playing XI had Javed Miandad and Imran Khan instead of Younus Khan and Mahela Jayawardene. Both of us chose to select from the pool of players who have already retired.Any changes ? Feel free to comment. Cheers!
What are the chances of a 2-time NBA All-Star being inducted into the Hall of Fame?
Chances are slim, less than 5%.Of the 148 players with 2 NBA All-Star appearances (some of these players are still active), only 4 (3%) are currently in the Hall of Fame (Zelmo Beaty, Joe Fulks, Dennis Rodman, and Bill Walton). Beaty and Fulks starred in other leagues (ABA and BBA, respectively), and Walton’s career was ultimately hampered by multiple foot injuries. Rodman is the real outlier here; his defensive-minded game just wasn’t rewarded with invitations to the All-Star game.Of the 127 players with 1 NBA All-Star appearances (some are still active), only 5 (4%) are currently in the Hall of Fame (Don Barksdale, Bill Bradley, Nathaniel Clifton, Dan Issel, and Calvin Murphy). Issel starred in the ABA. Barksdale and Clifton were inducted to the Hall of Fame as contributors (not as players). Bradley and Murphy often find themselves at the top of message boards discussing the most undeserving Hall of Fame inductees.On the other end of the spectrum, of the 77 players with at least 7 NBA All-Star appearances (some are still active), only 3 (4%) are expected to not be inducted into the Hall of Fame (Larry Foust, Joe Johnson, and Jack Sikma).NBA All-Star appearances and chances (players in Hall of Fame / total players)19: 1/118: 1/115: 3/314: 3/313: 4/412: 11/1111: 7/710: 8/89: 7/78: 10/11 (except Larry Foust)7: 19/21 (except Joe Johnson, Jack Sikma)6: 15/20 (except Larry Costello, Walter Davis, Lou Hudson, Shawn Kemp, Jermaine O’Neal)5: 17/29 (except LaMarcus Aldridge, Carl Braun, Brad Daugherty, Blake Griffin, Marques Johnson, Rudy LaRusso, Sidney Moncrief, Don Ohl, Gene Shue, Rudy Tomjanovich, Chris Webber, Paul Westphal)4: 15/393: 4/402: 4/1481: 5/127I assumed the following active or recently retired players will make the Hall of Fame: Bryant, Duncan, Garnett, Nowitzki, James, Wade, Bosh, Allen, Kidd, Pierce, Anthony, Paul, Carter, Howard, Nash, Durant, Hill, McGrady, Billups, P. Gasol, Parker, Stoudemire, T. Hardaway, Westbrook, Harden, Marion, Curry.Source: List of players in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, List of NBA All-Stars, NBA & ABA Leaders and Records for Hall of Fame Probability.

Virat Kohli(India)- batsman4. Babar Azam(Pakistan)- Batsman5. Ben Stokes(England)- all rounder(batsman/medium pacer)6. Angelo Mathews(Sri Lanka)- all rounder(batsman/medium pacer)7. Shakib Al Hasan(Bangladesh)- all rounder(batsman/ left off spinner)8. Rashid Khan(Afghanistan)- bowling-all rounder(right leg spinner)9. Sunil Narine(West Indies)- bowling-all rounder(right off spinner)10. Josh Hazlewood(Australia)- right arm fast bowler11. Trent Boult(New Zealand)- left arm fast bowlerFeatures of the team:-All the 11 players are from 11 different international teamsThe first nine can bat well(Number 1,2,3,4 are genuine batsmen, Number 5,6,7 are genuine all rounders, Number 8,9 are bowling-all rounders, number 10,11 are genuine bowlers)The team has variety of bowlers, there are two fast bowlers, two medium pacers, three spinners of different type(one right off spinner, one right leg spinner and one left off spinner)Missed many great names due to obvious limitations.Suggestions for changes in the team are welcome, but for that you need to convince me with proper logic and argument.
