Do you have to pick someone from each nation, and if not how many are allowed from one nation??

England - Pietersen, Hoggard
Australia - Ponting, Lee
Pakistan - Yousuf, Asif
India - Dravid, Kumble
Sri Lanka - Sangakarra, Muralitharan
Bangladesh - Ashraful, Mortaza
West Indies - Chanderpaul, Powell
South Africa - Kallis, Ntini
New Zealand - Fleming, Bond

I've just chosen their best Batsman and Bowler

 

[RoboRocks]

I would say Panesar is our best bowler Will.

It's between Hoggard and Panesar. I chose Hoggard because I remember his 7-for against SA proving how brilliantly and devastatingly he can bowl. Plus, he gets important breakthroughs for England.

Then why is Lee there? Clark would be our best bowler by a country mile at the moment.

 

[Will_NA]

Then make your own

Dont forget that 7-fer at the Adelaide Oval last summer, on that dull pitch.

Isn't picking 18 players for a World XI a bit unfair?
