World Cup Greatest XI to never have won a World Cup

[CerealKiller]

Here's my Fantasy XI of players who never won a World Cup (excluding players who never played ODIs or played them only before the first World Cup, as in the case of Sir Garry Sobers, and players who are still active in ODIs).
Note that this is not based on WC stats, but the greatest overall ODI players who've never won the World Cup.

Lots of South Africans, which is predictable, and Pakistanis from the 90s golden era that ended with 1999 final thumping.

Brian Lara

Yeah that's a good team, I feel sorry for Waqar Younis because the world cups have not been nice to him.
He was injured in the 1992 world cup, 96 was bad for pakistan, 1999 world cup Wasim Akram picked Shoaib Akhtar instead and the only time he played was against Bangladesh which was a embarrassing defeat, 2003 was also bad.
Some people say it was Wasim Akram that didn't pick him for the 1999 World Cup because they were rivals.

My saddest memory is seeing Ganguly and Dravid miss the chance to lay their hands on the World Cup, when we got so damn close in 2003. Also feel the same sadness for Brian Lara, who is one of my all time favorites from a non-India nation. These guys should have experienced that joy of winning a World Cup.
