I dunno about Cronje but that's a well put together team. I can't remember 1996 enough and dont want to go off just stats but those are some top performers in there. Anyway, my 2007 XI: 1. Hayden 2. Jayasuriya 3. Ponting c 4. Jayawardene 5. Kallis 6. Gilchrist wk 7. Flintoff 8. Murali 9...

They all have great potential but England's success in the 2010s in tests and in LOs from 2015-2022 was not built on just potential but tried, tested and experienced top class international cricketers. Yes they may all do great in T20 tournaments, maybe even ODIs in 5+ years time but like I...

@Verified Enigma is there a time limit on how long you can take to make your pick?

The CWC is not too old, the final jus ta couple of weeks ago and there's a draft ongoing with regards to the best world cup performers...so I thought why not have the members here pick their best XI for each of the world cup they have seen. Could it be quite interesting depending on the age of...

Man, Wazza was my number one pick...well one more person and then me so hopefully my second pick is not taken. @Verified Enigma who is next?

I'm not so sure about this...from the final last year, Buttler desperately out of form, Hales, Rashid, Jordan, Woakes, Ali, Jordan are all on the wrong side of 30 and I'm not even sure some of them deserve an international contract currently. Stokes is literally on his last leg and no idea if...

Both Immy and Darren had careers.

Why not Bond? NZ doesnt exactly have ATG after ATG to pick from. Bond is a number 3 pick after Hadlee and Boult. Anyone else is silly. Hadlee, Boult, Bond as the pace trio and Vettori as spinner and also lower order bat.

I read that...I thought you meant it had to be a player who had the possibility of winning the cup. Bradman is one of the GOATs but I dunno OG...I dunno how he'd be in ODI cricket. 1701171291 Klusener was a giant in 99...its the first and possibly best world cup I remember ,2019 a close...

I dont understand whats going on, didnt you set the rules: "The player to be picked should be a part of a Men's World Cup Winning Squad. " ??

That hurts a lot of people but the truth is the truth.

In terms of the domestic structure, Pakistan are facing the same issue England, Australia and India face and none of this is new...namely: the best players play internationally and can not take part in the domestic structure. The sad part is, playing the long form of the game at domestic level...

Domestic circuits are often filled with such players. I don't see the issue with that tbh. The bigger issue is the PCB is trying to delay Rauf's NOC so he can play in the BBL.

Test avg 28 ODI avg 22 T20 avg 17 You keep hating, he will bring you the vaseline.

I don't know about that, maybe whoever is doing the analysis is setting a low standard for bowlers but growing up I watched absolute giants across cricket formats in Wasim, Waqar, Donald, Pollock, Warne, Murali and of course McGrath and thats just to name a few. In the last 15 years or so, I...

Yo fellas! Let's predict the outcome of the Dec 23rd KSA event: AJ v Wallin - AJ to win a close, close decision. Wallin is busy but a bit pillow fisted. He'll mess up AJ but the former champ will scrape by. Wilder v Parker - Parker is done, Wilder will stop him in 3. Bivol v Arthur - Bivol...

What a glorious weekend, a hard fought win for Arsenal and going top of the league without any other major team having a game in hand. My team just got to beef up their squad a bit and game manage, they'll beat a tiring City!

Na, the TS needs to tighten that up! no need for anything other than world cup stats. Thats how I'll be picking my XI.

the same goes for bowlers tbh. Starc, one of my all time faves, is a great LO bowler but not a test great. It's what makes the work from the like of Kagiso over an extended period of time so special. 1701081779 Again not so unpopular....I remember KP and Freddy getting into trouble for...

Reducing ODIs further is silly. You're T20 opinion is not unpopular at all, in fact its something many cricket fans and pundits have talked about for years. I much prefer good, competitive ODI cricket and it complements tests perfectly and produces more well rounded cricketers, in particular...
