Cricket Web's World Twenty20 XI

Ganesh takes a look back at the players that made all of the difference in the World Twenty20 in the Carribean. Will you agree with Cricket Web's best XI of the tournament?

Nothing wrong with that..

spot on..

Prince EWS · 19-05-2010, 05:14 PM

Lacks a fifth bowling option. Don't really know who I would've picked though.

Uppercut · 19-05-2010, 05:26 PM

Shaun Tait imo. Open with Akmal, leave out Butt.

ya..I didn't notice that

I would drop Butt and go with Angelo Mathews..open with Kamran Akmal..

I thought he had a decent tournment.. his knock against India was pretty good..

Would pick Tait/Mohd Aameer instead of sidebum and Cameron White ahead of Butt. Line up would be:

M Jayawardene
K Akmal
S Raina
K Pietersen
E Morgan
M Hussey
C White
S Smith
G Swann
D Nannes
M Aameer/ S Tait

White, Raina and KP can share the 5th bowler duties.

I've actually forgotten what his bowling looks like, it's been that long.

Yes the fifth bowling slot kills the named team.

Take a look at the three Twenty20 World Cup champions and the bowling lineup's for the finals.

India 07
- RP Singh
- S Sreesanth
- J Sharma
- Y Pathan
- I Pathan
- H Singh

Pakistan 09
- M Aamer
- A Razzaq
- S Afridi
- S Ajmal
- S Malik
- U Gul

England 10
- Sidebottom
- Bresnan
- Broad
- Swann
- Yardy
- Wright

A successful Twenty20 team needs five/six bowlers better than part-time status. I would be seriously worried if I was relying on one of KP, White or Raina to provide an option outside of the four named bowlers.

Nice. Really backs up what we were talking about in the other thread a few days back. The seventh batsman rarely plays a big role, but the fifth bowler is every bit as important as the first four.

chris.hinton · 20-05-2010, 01:22 PM

My team

Would be the England one,

Yeah, although he largely bowled pus I'd have Watson ahead of Butt for that reason if nothing else.

Gotta have Tait in there too, IMHO. Bowled his overs for less than a run a ball. Vettori the only other bowler who bowled more than 15 overs to do that and he took 3 wickets to Tait's 9.

My XI:

Kieswetter*
Watson
Jayawardene
Pietersen
Morgan
White +
Hussey
Smith
Swann
Nannes
Tait

morgieb · 20-05-2010, 08:07 PM

Where's Tait and Steyn?

AaronK · 20-05-2010, 11:14 PM

my XI

M Jayawardene
K Akmal
S Raina
K Pietersen
E Morgan
M Hussey
A. Mathews
S Smith
G Swann
D Nannes
R. Sidebottom

I still can't believe that u people left Mathews out..
