Pick a team for your country from each of the World Cups

[Fuller Pilch]

1975-2019 makes 12 World Cups. Pick a team (plus a 12th man) for your country with a player from each tournament.

Obviously not every team has played in every tournament/enough tournaments so pick more than 1 from some tournaments when required. For example, South Africa are only from 1992-2019, so would need two picks from several tournaments.

Anyway, this is for NZ:

Glenn Turner (1975)
Nathan Astle (1996)
Kane Williamson (2019)
Ross Taylor (2015)
Martin Crowe (1987) c
Chris Harris/Chris Cairns (1992)
Brendon McCullum (2011) wk
Richard Hadlee (1983)
Daniel Vettori (2003)
Shane Bond (2007)
Ewen Chatfield (1979)

Roger Twose (1999) 12th man

Pretty strong team. Couldn't find space for the likes of Boult and Guptill.

 

[morgieb]

1. Adam Gilchrist (2003)
2. Mark Waugh (1992)
3. Ricky Ponting (2011)
4. Dean Jones (1987)
5. Greg Chappell (1975)
6. Michael Bevan (1996)
7. Glenn Maxwell (2015)
8. Mitchell Starc (2019)
9. Shane Warne (1999)
10. Dennis Lillee (1983)
11. Glenn McGrath (2007)

12. Allan Border (1979)

Possibly a bowler short, but I think you could probably get 10 overs out of Maxwell, Waugh, Chappell and Bevan.

Great side. You definitely could get 10 out of them (Greg Chappell bowled a lot in ODIs), or just pick Watson at 6 for 2015 instead of Maxwell.

I assume how they played in the tournament doesn't count? I've just gone for the best players on paper. A team picking the best player for nz of each tournament would look a bit different tbh.

Nathan Astle - 1996
Kane Williamson - 2019
Ross Taylor - 2011
Martin Crowe - 1983
Chris Cairns - 1992

Not as an explosive top 6 as it might have been but I'm sure plenty of runs in the top 3. Fine bowling lineup though.

I'll take Morgan over Swann, Beefy can represented 1992 over Hick, and then Willis can play.

Tres, Gooch, KP, Morgan, Stokes, Buttler, Flintoff, Botham, Gough, Willis, Underwood.

I'm happy with my team , Gough should be my No.10 so I have strong batting down to No.10 plus atleast 7/8 bowling options which is great balance , if your team was playing where pitches take a bit of spin you'd be in trouble with Underwood the lone spinner where as my team has Swann , Underwood and Hick as spin options ..and if it's an English seamer I've got old Goochy , Stokes , Flintoff , Botham and the death bowler Gough ..
