Harsh Thakor Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 (edited) This is my dream all-time world cup xi comprising only of all-rounders.Would like to pit it against a specialist World Cup xi,comprising only of great batsmen and bowlers and specialist keeper. All-rounder all-time World cup XI Shahid Afridi Adam Gilchrist(W) Jacques Kallis Michael Bevan Steve Waugh Kapil Dev Imran Khan(C) Lance Kluesner Richard Hadlee Ravichandra Ashwin Wasim Akram What a competitive team with the great all-round prowess of fast bowling all-rounders like Kapil,Imran,Hadlee , and batting all-rounders in Kallis,Bevan and the likes of Viv,Sachin,Lara and Ponting batting in team and Waugh in addition to Gilchrist as a wicket keeper all-rounder.By itself it would make the best world cup pace attack.Openers Afridi and Gilchrist could simply blast the opposition apart. Specialists all-time World Cup xi Sachin Tendulkar Matthew Hayden Viv Richards(C) Brian Lara Virat Kohli Ricky Ponting Shane Warne Malcolm Marshall Deryk Murray(W) Joel Garner Glen Mcgrath Greatest batsmen and bowlers here .Imagine the likes of Viv,Lara,Ponting and Kohli batting in tandem and a bowing attack posessing the skill of Garner,Marshall and ,Mcgrath.Viv and Sachin would also bowl a few overs. I would back the specialists World Cup XI to win by a slender margin of around 2 wickets or 15-20 runs.It has greater match-winners with the bat and almost on par skill with the all-rounders XI with the ball.

AuxiliA Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 (edited) Of the teams you have listed above, the Specialists will cream the Allrounders. Afridi opening against Marshall, Garner and McGrath will be a bloodbath. Edited June 8, 2019 by AuxiliA Khota and SK_IH 1 1

Ashwin could not make to the national team and included in all time eleven , we need selectors like you. sriniwu and Sgattick10 2
I6MTW Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 Seriously Afridi as an opener? Jayasuriya is a much better option as someone said. And Ashwin? What has he done in ODIs much less than WCs to be in an all time all-rounders playing XI? The specialist XI would destroy the all rounders XI that you've listed.
Sooda Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 (edited) All rounder XI... Jayasuriya, Gilchrist, Richards, Kallis, Yuvraj, Symonds, Klusener, Kapil, Afridi, Pollock, Wasim Viv RIchards with 118 wickets at 35, in 187 matches is very much a batting all rounder in ODIs, Bevan OTOH has only taken 36 wickets in 230 matches Edited June 8, 2019 by Sooda Tattieboy and Ankit_sharma03 2

This one would actually have a chance against the specialists XI.

Ankit_sharma03 Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 If bevan can be selected as all rounder why not yuvraj n symonds
Ankit_sharma03 Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 Rather then ashwin- vettori, heck even rashid khan can be considered
gazza Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 (edited) Lehmann as well. Also at current careers, shakib over ashwin as an allrounder in ODIs any day, not even close. Edited June 8, 2019 by gazza
Haarkarjeetgaye Posted June 9, 2019 Posted June 9, 2019 All rounders good as ingredients only. In my opinion, specialists will thrash the all rounder team Khota 1

He has quite a few wickets and Ganguly.
Jimmy Cliff Posted June 9, 2019 Posted June 9, 2019 (edited) Greg Chappell is a must in any ODI all-rounder XI. Batting average of 40+ and a bowling average of 29+ with a very decent WPI ratio of more than 1 wicket per innings. As is Cronje (38+/34+). Jayasuriya Gilchrist Viv Chappell Cronje Symonds Klusener Kapil Pollock Hadlee Akram The only thing it lacks is a truly great spinner. SRT Lara Ponting Kohli ABDV Bevan Knott Warne Starc Garner McGrath The 5th bowling options are obviously meh but I'd still back the specialists to have the edge ever so slightly. Edited June 9, 2019 by Jimmy Cliff
Temujin Khaghan Posted June 9, 2019 Posted June 9, 2019 Lol Shahid afridi is a buffoon. He is a above average spin bowler and a batsman who plays an 50+ score knock 45 times in 369 innings... Comparably, sanath 96 times in 433 innings. I know there is agenda behind the op when he picks afridi over Sanath.
