Enough with these all-rounder super-XIs. May I present the NZ Dibbly-Dobbly ODI XI, or, The Greatest Team.

You thought you had it in the bag. The commentators let out a chuckle as they saw these names next to your big-3 juggernauts. You got 300-odd and had them 7 down for fuck-all. Yet somehow you walked away from the game wondering how the hell you lost. Especially when the same team gets rolled by Zimbabwe a week later.

Your team may get n runs, but they get n+1. Your argument is invalid. The greatest team.
