A member of the Windies Beastly Pace Attack, Malcolm Marshall averages just 20 in tests with the ball, and most importantly he is a 1980s Windies Pace Bowler, a true terror to batsmen

Marshall was a part of 1979 World Cup squad, you missed that
Thank you for picking a very young Maco! I was confused whether to consider him or a certain other pacer who has actually done better.Next pick from the Windies Terror Side of the 1970s again..

I think the basis of the selection doesn't have to WC performance. He can also pick based on overall career stats
Of course but then since it's a WC based draft, shouldn't the better record at the WCs put a certain player ahead of an otherwise brilliant player who has performed average in WC e.g., Yuvraj ahead of Inazamam?

No, the post said anything can be used to justify pick. Im picking Prime Marshall. Like I picked Sunny G and Jimmy for their test careersOf course but then since it's a WC based draft, shouldn't the better record at the WCs put a certain player ahead of an otherwise brilliant player who has performed average in WC e.g., Yuvraj ahead of Inazamam?

I wanted a left hand express pace bowler who could rattle the top order of any side, and I found one in Mitchell Johnson. He was probably one of my favorite pacers during my childhood and I used to copy this bowling action a lot, since I am myself a left arm quick while bowling locally in my neighbourhood. Mitchell has actually had an impressive run at both the limited overs world cups taking wickets with an impressive average as well as being economical. And to top it all off, he can also bat a bit, coming handy specially when someone needs to tonk the ball out of the park during the death overs. Johnson is conveniently placed at number 8 for me.

Also to note is that since @icyman isn't here anymore for a while, I would like to invite @Aravind. to take his team forward.
Everyone please welcome Aravind, infact he is the next to pick as well...
Thanks! That's what I thought otherwise there is no point of having it themed as WC based but well...
