Draft: ODI World Cup Draft | Tournament underway

[Mijurkat]

In only one World Cup so far, and went past 30 only once other than his century against Sri Lanka. He could yet improve that record in 2019, but as of now there are plenty of better alternatives available for England.

Can i change my pick now? or there will be a FA Trade. Tell me any suggestion.[DOUBLEPOST=1538880506][/DOUBLEPOST]

Many better players than Root in there for England in the WC...

I was quite busy yesterday... Can I swap Root?

 

[Gaurav_7]

Nope. @Perfect Square up.

Kevin Pietersen

Kevin Pietersen one of England's greatest batsman. He was the fastest to get to 1000 and 2000 runs. The right hander has scored more than 13,500 International runs. Averaging 40 in ODI cricket.

KP's in WCs has been phenomenal. He played 13 matches in which he scored close to 600 at an average of 47. His key performances for his team were 104 against Australia in 2007 and 100 against West Indies in the same WC of 2007. He scored 444 runs in 2007 World Cup.

He's also a handy spinner and can pick a wicket here and there. Beware!​

Andrew Flintoff

Tendulkar was one of the prized scalps of all-action all-rounder Freddie during the 2003 World Cup.

One of the sport's leading all-rounders of his time, Flintoff's career statistics probably don't do him proper justice considering the integral part he played in all formats for England over the years.

As far as his World Cup performances go, he has played a much bigger part with the ball than he has with his batting.
At the 2003 tournament he finished as the most economical bowler at 2.87 by a bowling a relentless high-bouncing off-stump line, only conceding 140 runs off 48.4 overs. Testament to this were his figures of 2-15 against India at Durban where he removed both Indian openers Sehwag and Tendulkar.
As well as this he also helped register the tournaments highest sixth wicket partnership with Alec Stewart of 90, of which he contributed 45, which came against Australia at Port Elizabeth and he also saved England face by scoring an important half-century in the aforementioned match against India, which England ended up losing.

After the horrible experiment in Australia as captain, Flintoff was replaced in the role for 2007 World Cup by the returning Michael Vaughan but was appointed as vice-captain for the tournament. The campaign did not start off well as he was dismissed for a golden duck against New Zealand and failed to take any wickets despite conceding only 17 runs off 8 overs.
This defeat was also made worse by the infamous 'Fredalo' incident and Flintoff was subsequently reprimanded, stripped off his vice-captaincy and was dropped for the next game.
On his return however he excelled with ball yet again in spite of his poor batting form (four of his seven innings were in single figures and only one over 23) and he took 2-35 against Kenya. In the Super Eight stage he went on to register figures of 4-43 against Ireland as well as adding 43 with the bat, 3-35 against Sri Lanka and was the pick of the bowlers against Australia with 1-35.
Despite England's World Cup being overshadowed by controversy off the field and squad morale severely affected, he finished the tournament as England's highest wicket-taker with 14 wickets at 21.28.

Andrew Flintoff is England's 4th highest wicket taker at World Cups with 23 wickets in total over his three stints and he has the best bowling average out of those who have played ten or more World Cup matches for England.

Allan Lamb
One of the consistent batsman for England in World Cups, Allan Lamb has been the backbone of England lineup - taking charge of no.4 position which is considered as one of the challenging positions to bat on. He has been part of the squad in 3 world cups for England i.e, 1983, 1987 and 1992. What is more interesting is that though his ODI career has been decent with average of 39.31, his average in World Cup is 50.46 in 19 matches with the SR of 84.10.

He scored his maiden WC ton against New Zealand which helped England to put up a mighty score of 322, and later defended the score successfully. His unbeaten knock of 67(68) is considered one of his best performances in Worldcup when his team registered a memorable victory against West Indies in second game of 1987 WC.

One of the few England WC greats who could probably walk into their current ODI side.

Was confused between Lamb and Botham but as I said earlier went ahead with Botham to balance 3 month.

Chris Old
​

A tall fast bowler who bowled tight lines and swung the ball late venomously, Chris Old! He has an incredible world cup record, envious tbh. His moments in world cup history can be highlighted when he picked up 4 wickets for 8 runs against Canada. He also picked up 3 wickets against Australia in the semi final of 1975 WC where England had only 94 to defend. He ended up on the losing side but gave it his all! Chris was also a hard hitter lower down the order as is evident from his strike rate which is nearly 120 in WCs and during those times. Amazing! His 51 not out came against India off just 30 balls in 1975 WC in the match which is remembered for Sunil Gavaskar's infamous knock of 36 runs. A very handy player to have in my WC XI.
