[@Tidu123]

Mitchell Starc has been phenomenal over two World Cups. 49 wickets at a scarcely believable average of 14.81 and an economy of 4.64 - an amazing achievement in modern day cricket. Further ODI World Cup stats: • 2015 ODI World Cup winner. • Only player to take three 5-wicket hauls. • Only player to take 40 wickets or more at a strike-rate of less than 20. • One wicket in his next match will see him comfortably become the fastest to 50 wickets - if he went wicketless in his next 8 matches and took one in his 9th, he would still beat the record.

[@0jas.]

But almost all the players they selected were retired before or by 2007 world cup. So it makes sense why Starc isn't there.

Although my interest in cricket has waned over the years, but having seen 30 years of televised cricket I have never seen bowlers including greats having fear of batsman like Klusener did to them in 99. The guy was good batsman until that world cup and annihilated everyone with total disregard in 99 world cup. Continued that reputation for a year or so more. Great memories of him.

[@gweher43]

Klusener was crazy. He just smashed every bowler. Pakistan thought they had won it and Saqlain after he took a wicket said aloud in Urdu that the match is won, but Klusener spoiled the party. He repeated that feat again in 2003 against WI almost winning the game

Such an underrated, great of the game. Stats are one thing, but rising up to the task when chips are down in a Final or a Semi-Final is something else, and that's where Aravinda comes in. And he would dominate the opposition, when other batsmen struggle. Absolute legend !

No graphic to fill in again as we go? Just one at the end that is covered by the next recommended videos.....

To go against this side.. Jayasuriya, Greenidge, Lara, Inzamam, Yuvraj, MS Dhoni, Botham, Kapil Dev, Mitch Johnson/Starc and Qadir. 12th man Alan Donald

[@awanishranjan1814]

There is no one better than MSD as a Wicketkeeper batsman in ODI that can be imagined.

[@TheShounak]

With MSD in team, India won 1 WC. With Gilchrist in team, Australia won 3 WCs. 🤷‍♂️ As good as Dhoni was, Gilchrist invoked more fear in the bowlers than Dhoni ever did.

[@Dandanukadan]

​@@TheShounakcompletely wrong, Dhoni invoked more fears than Gili ever did, Auz won more world cup coz their team was the best that has got nothing to do with individual performance. Dhoni's team at best was average on 2011 yet he won the world cup with ease.

[@TheShounak]

@@Dandanukadan Gilchrist had a career Strike Rate of 97 in ODIs compared to Dhoni's 88! Dhoni, after the initial few years, built his whole gameplan on eliminating risks and taking the game deep. Being patriotic is great and all, but being delulu is not!

[@calvinthehermit5370]

Lara and Yuvraj yes, Kohli needs to do more in World Cups. But if we were picking an all-time ODI XI Kohli will be there. Inzy, Crowe, Jayawardane gave some great performances, but not with the regularity of others. Kallis would make an all-time Test XI maybe, but not ODI.

[@vimukthinirmana4976]

[@ashkar]

[@hemantmeharchandani3034]

[@natarajkrishnaswamy3354]

True. Klusener had only one great world Cup, kapil had one great and two good WC. Picking Imran is okay.

[@minhaj272c]

It's hard to believe that they didn't even name Yuvraj or Shakib! If you check the record Shakib is the only one who appears in both top run-getter and wicket-takers lists in the world cup!

[@nooneknows19]

For me it’s: Sachin, Gilly wk, Ponting, Viv, Yuvraj, Dev, Klusner, Wasim, Starc, McGrath, Murali. I wanted at least 6 bowlers and Yuvraj could bowl a few if the wicket is helpful to spinners. Bat till Starc. Wasim and Starc take the new ball and McGrath can be first change.

[@debayanpal3181]

My CWC XI will be - 1. Sachin Tendulkar 2. David Warner 3. Ricky Ponting(c) 4. Kumar Sangakkara(wk) 5. Viv Richards 6. AB De Villiers 7. Ben Stokes 8. Mitchell Starc 9. Trent Boult 10. Glenn McGrath 11. Mutthiah Muralidharan

[@prathamprakash6098]

Have u seen what he did in 1996 World Cup??? The Man took 3 wickets in 1st innings and got a century chasing against Australia... Arguably the greatest performace in a WC final ever!!!

[@divvagg5616]

GO AND WATCH IPL . AND STICK TO IPL ONLY YOU T20 era kid

[@jinayvora6240]

Totally agree. Kapil Dev, WC winning captain sitting at the top of all-time ICC all-rounder rankings. We also have Lance Klusener and Yuvraj SIngh (Players of the 1999 and 2011 tournaments respectively). Surely they could have found some way to fit one of those in.

[@bananabrooks3836]

​@Umar_Akmal96 Unbiased opinion.🙄

[@aadesh7]

You guys didn’t even mention Kapil Dev? The man who started the asian cricket craze. Who stopped the West Indies juggernaut. Played the single greatest CWC innings ever. India 17 for 5 at Turnbridge against Zimbaabwe in a must win game. He came out and made 175 of 138 balls. In 1983. And India won that world cup. Tell me again how are Imran Khan and Clive Lloyd ahead? How is Kapil not even mentioned. Do atleast some research otherwise its a nonsensical video.

[@abhinav8383]

Maybe they were preferring white ball bowlers??

[@MattyQ1975]

I have tried to create three squads across three generations of ODI cricket; 1975 - 1992; 1996 - 2011; 2015 - 2023. This is very subjective, and I am sure one could come up with multiple competitive teams across each generation, and there were many different players who came under consideration. 1975 - 1992 Gavaskar, Greenidge, Richards, Miandad, Border, Lloyd (C), Dev, Dujon (WK), Imran, Hadlee, Garner, Aravinda, Gower, Haynes, Akram, Marshall and Marsh as back-up keeper. 1996 - 2011 Tendulkar, Sehwag, Ponting (C), Kallis, Lara, Dhoni (WK), Yuvraj, Afridi, Akram, Murali, McGrath, Sangakkara, Gilchrist, Bevan, Lee, Steyn and Warne. 2015 - 2023 Sharma, DeKock, Kohli, Smith, Stokes, Maxwell, Jadeja, Al Hasan, Starc, Bumrah, Rabada, Rashid Khan, Babar, Pandya, Buttler, Williamson and Boult. Using these squads as a basis, the all-time CWC Squad to me would look something like: Tendulkar, Sharma, Ponting (C), Kohli, Kallis, Dhoni (WK), Yuvraj, Imran, Akram, Murali, McGrath, Richards, Starc, Warne, Sangakkara, Dev and Gilchrist.
