CWC Halfway Stage Tournament XI

[Adorable Asshole]

What's wrong with this XI drawn from only 2 teams:

Rohit Sharma *
Quinton de Kock +
Virat Kohli
Van der Dussen
Henrique Klaseen
David Miller
Ravindra Jadeja
Marco Janesen
Mohammad Shami
Kuldeep Yadav
Jasprit Bumrah

Middle order is pissweak

 

[ankitj]

You've misspelled Klaasen's first name

Really? Then it means his parents did.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Middle order is pissweak

???

No, it is very strong.

 

[Adorable Asshole]

???

No, it is very strong.

We saw how strong it is last night

 

[Molehill]

Think I'd just go with the Indian team but with Maxwell at 6 instead of Sky. You get an extra spin option and he can blitz the last 5 overs whilst Kohli is nurdling his way to a ton.

Surprise no one has picked Mahmudullah. He has done really well so far, Bangladesh would've done well if a couple of other batsmen would've stood up with him.

A lot of competition for the middle order/wicketkeeping spot. I dare say the Aussies would offer a couple of nominations, whilst the Kiwis may donate Latham too.

After league stage, Kumble and Hayden picked their xi:

It can't seriously be that semifinal/India-biased.

 

[ankitj]

It can't seriously be that semifinal/India-biased.

Who would you replace and with whom?

 

[ma1978]

It can't seriously be that semifinal/India-biased.

India was more dominant in the group stage than any team has been in World Cup history so it stands to reason.

And who would you replace?

The only possible argument is Santnerfor Jadeja and even that’s a week one
