What about Fakhar Zaman who has been on fire in his last two innings?

It's the team of the tournament.

Fakhar should blame Pakistan for this. But if he can continue this run for 2-3 games more, he will be in contention.
 
New list

1) Quinton Dekock
2) Rachin Ravindra
3) Virat Kohli
4) Alden Makram
5) Glenn Maxwell
6) Pandya
7) Jadeja
8) Bumrah
9) Shami
10) Siraj

Cricket Australia shared their team of the tournament on their website Cricket.com.au with no Rohit Sharma in it that is bit of a surprise to me.

2. David Warner (Australia)
3. Rachin Ravindra (New Zealand)
4. Virat Kohli (c) (India)
5. Aiden Markram (South Africa)
6. Glenn Maxwell (Australia)

This team is pretty spot on except for Markram. I'd put Iyer or Daryl Mitchell there instead. I also doubt Maxwell as he hasn't had much of an impact besides against Ned and Afg. It's understandable that he's on that team though bc this list was made by CA. Other than that, the team is perfect. Hard to argue any spots. Even the 12th man. Either Madushanka or Rohit for me

yes. A chancy 200 and a fast 100 with a set platform. Failed against guys like Kuldeep. His bowling is alright. But for his bowling he doesn't deserve a spot.

So Pakistan is out now, just wanting to have some interesting discussion I guess from this point.

Make a Team of players that did better than what you expected or thought about them, perhaps you thought they were too old or not good enough or maybe you never heard of them much.

I have mostly just been looking at scorecards to be honest, but here is my one:

1. Abdullah Shafique
2. Rachin Ravindra
3. KL Rahul
4. Azmatullah Omarzai
5. Glenn Maxwell - I havent seen Glenn Maxwell perform in a long while (before the WC)
6. Scott Edwards - Great Captain, Master Tactician, and played some good innings also
7. Marco Jansen
8. Mitchell Santner
9. Muhammad Wasim Jr.
10. Dilshan Madushanka
11. Kuldeep Yadav
---------------------------------------
12th Man - Iftikhar Ahmed as a Spin Bowler mainly - Because in this world cup he had to bowl a lot more overs than he has done in his career in an ODI match (I think) and overall he did quite well if we think about it in that manner.

This is probs the biggest troll I have ever seen. I do not live on this planet.

So shami who's taken 5 wicket has and a 7 wicket haul today is excluded? What scorecard have you been paying attention to

As for your point, I didn't put Muhammad Shami is someone who I thought would do well since he has a great ODI World Cup record and is the second best ODI World Cup bowler (behind Starc).

But I guess you can still have Mohammad Shami in the team because he has had astonishing performances.

2 Australians, 1 Kiwi, 3 Saffers and 5 Indians. If Klaasen doesn't have a good match today and S Iyer performs in final again, he has a chance too.

12th player : all remaining players
 
The best playing XI of the world cup is below

All other teams being listed are force fits to try and add diversity of countries.

Due respect to Santner and Zampa they are nowhere near Kuldeep's class as a spinner.

In the Indian XI, 8 players are at present the best in the world at what they do. The only upgrades are on Gill with QdK, Klaasen over SKY given current form, Jansen over Siraj for left arm angle, batting skill and form

Quinton
Kohli
Iyer
KL Rahul (k)

You only have 4 bowlers in the team. 2 of the pacers are both left handed and got phaintis with terrible SR. This bowling line up, assuming Head and Markram will be bowling 10 overs combined as part timers will give 500 runs in 50 overs.

Ye made a mistake there. Sorry take out klassen put in shami.

So jansen at 7
Santner at 8
Shaheen at 9
Bumrah at 10
Shami at 11

For finals and ko swap bumrah out and get rabada cause bumrah chokes a bit. World class player but bad temperament in finals.

Shaheen and Jansen can't be in the same team. Can't have two similar bowlers going at 90+ runs in 10 overs. Also 4 pacers is a bit much in Indian conditions. What you need is a second spinner along with Santner. Part timers are part timers and can't be counted on especially in batting conditions. They are usually the 6th bowler.

4 pacers would be fine.

See coetze jansen rabada ngidi.
And then mahraj and markram part time.

So bumrah shaheen shami is a deadly combo. Jansen is good. It's just that india made him look bad. India on another level. Don't get fooled by that.

Jansen got smashed for 90+ runs more than once just in this world cup. Check his ER. Coetze isn't a regular too. Shamsi played a few games instead of him. Middle overs can be choked only by good spinners.

I still feel 3 spinners is overkill. 2 is fine. 1 can even be a part timer.
 
Bhaijaan’s Team of the tournament CWC 2023 :-

The Hitman (kaptaan)
David Warner
Virat Kohli
Shreyas Iyer
KL Rahul (wikey)
Mitchell Marsh
Glenn Maxwell
Mohammad Shami
Josh Hazzlewood
Adam Zampa
Kuldeep Yadav
 
Here is the XI for team of tournament before the finals:-

Rohit Sharma(c)
Quinton de kock (wkt)
Virat Kohli
Daryl Mitchell
Heinrich Klaasen
Glenn Maxwell
Ravindra Jadeja
Gerald Coetzee
Mohammad Shami
Jasprit Bumrah
Adam Zampa

Coetzee replaces Jansen from the list as the former performed in pressure more than latter. Easily, the third best pacer in this tournament.

The South African middle order- Van der dussen, Markram, Klaasen and Miller performed just about similar so going with the right batting position , Klaasen comes in at 5. Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul are also competing for #4 and #5 spot so let's keep an eye on the two for finals. Rest will remain same most likely.
 
Fakhar Zaman
Ibrahim Zadran
Abdullah Shafique
Babar Azam
M Rizwan (wk)
Iftikhar Ahmed
Shaheen Shah Afridi (c)
Rashid Khan
Mohammad Siraj
Mohammad Shami
Tabraiz Shamsi

Picked this team before the second semi final and I’m going to stick with it.

These two teams have been head and shoulders above everyone else.
 
  1. De Kock
  2. Rohit
  3. Kohli
  4. Ravinder
  5. Mitchell
  6. Maxwell
  7. Jadeja
  8. Jansen
  9. Shami
  10. Zampa
  11. Bumrah
Warner can replace de kock after a good innings in final.
It was tough to choose between Iyer and Mitchell.
Kuldeep was unlucky to miss out due to Zampa.
 
Based on performances in this World Cup Id go

Rohit
QDK
Rachin
Mitchell
Azmatullah
Miller
Jansen
Jadeja
Bumrah
Shami
Zampa
 
Rohit
Qdk
Rachin

Who's your wc cricket 11 for this cup?

Imo mine is

1) Quinton de kock
2) Rohit Sharma
3) Virat Kohli
4) Aiden Makram
5) Glenn Maxwell
6) Hardick Pandya
7) Marco Jansen
8) Jasprit Bumrah
9) Mitchell satner
10) Kuldeep Yadav
11) Matt Henry

This is based of current form, England, Pakistan don't make it due to form this tournament.

Gill misses out due to not having a notable knock so far. Warner isn't in my 11 because I want a right hand left hand combination at the top, and quinton imo is superior, plus I need a wicket keeper.

Mitchell slightly misses out due to Makram.

Zampa misses out cause I don't trust zampa 😂

Why not shami in place of henry?
 
he ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 delivered some phenomenal individual performances across seven weeks of high-class international action, and here is the official ICC Team of the Tournament.

1. Quinton de Kock (South Africa) (wk)

South Africa’s opener was in breath-taking form during the group stage, scoring four centuries, including an enormous 174 against Bangladesh at the Wankhede Stadium.

Quinton de Kock scored 594 runs at a strike rate of 107.02 across the tournament, with only Indian pair Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli scoring more.

2. Rohit Sharma (India) (c)

The India captain and opener set the tone at the top of the order for the hosts, hitting 597 runs, with only his teammate Virat Kohli scoring more.

Rohit’s tally is the seventh-highest ever at a men’s Cricket World Cup, 51 runs short of his own best effort at the 2019 tournament in England.

The nature of the opener’s runs was even more crucial than their volume, with his strike-rate of 125.94 being the highest of any top-four batter in the tournament. Only Glenn Maxwell and Heinrich Klassen scored at a quicker rate among the World Cup’s recognised specialist batters.

3. Virat Kohli (India)

Virat Kohli produced an all-time great run of form, scoring the most runs ever by an individual batter at a men’s Cricket World Cup.

India star named Player of the Tournament at ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup
His 765 surpassed the previous record held by Sachin Tendulkar (673 in 2003) and came at an average of 96.62.

Only twice out of 11 innings did Kohli not reach at least a half century. And his three hundreds in the tournament saw him reach 50 career ODI tons, overtaking Tendulkar for the most in the history of the format.

4. Daryl Mitchell (New Zealand)

New Zealand’s run to the semi-finals was built on the back of a mountain of runs, and Daryl Mitchell played a big part in that.

His 552 runs in nine innings came at an average of 69 and strike-rate of 111.06, and showcased his great versatility – building platforms at times and upping the scoring rate at others.

His 134 in a losing cause in the semi-final against India was a brave effort when his team needed it most.

The ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 Team of the TournamentThe ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 Team of the Tournament

5. KL Rahul (India)

The India right-hander was a model of consistency for his side throughout the world Cup as he amassed a decent total of 452 runs from 10 hits.

Rahul impressed mainly during the middle overs, scoring a tournament best 102 against the Netherlands in Bengaluru and contributing an even better innings of 97* against Australia at the start of the event.

The 31-year-old finished the World Cup with a superb average of 75.33, which was the third best overall for any batter during the tournament.

6. Glenn Maxwell (Australia)

The Big Show provided two all-time moments with the bat. His century against the Netherlands was the fastest ever seen at a Men’s Cricket World Cup, coming off just 40 balls.

But his effort against Afghanistan was even more extraordinary.

With Australia requiring 292 and slipping to 91/7, Maxwell produced arguably the greatest individual innings of all-time, scoring 201* from 128 balls as he battled pressure, Afghanistan’s spinners and crippling cramp to get his team across the line.

Cramps, spasms and 201* as Maxwell reveals truth behind superb World Cup knock

7. Ravindra Jadeja (India)

India’s spin-bowling all-rounder played a crucial role for his team, taking key wickets throughout the middle overs and consistently turning the screw.

His economy rate was among the best in the tournament, going for 4.25 per over as he brilliantly backed up the new-ball attack.

With the bat he played an important role at number seven too, scoring 120 runs in his five appearances in the middle.

8. Jasprit Bumrah (India)

The leader of India’s attack, Jasprit Bumrah was relentless in his excellence.

While being a threat in all sections of the innings, it was Bumrah’s new-ball brilliance that made the biggest impact for his team.

He took wickets throughout the tournament, and proved extremely difficult to get away.

No bowler to have played more than a single game in the tournament was able to return a better economy rate than Bumrah’s 4.06 – an even more remarkable stat considering he was so often in action when the fielding restrictions were in place.

9. Dilshan Madushanka (Sri Lanka)

Sri Lanka’s left-arm speedster Dilshan Madushanka was a revelation.

His 21 wickets put him firmly in the tournament’s top five wicket-takers, and he was a relentless threat with the new ball.

A haul of 5/80 against India was the pick of his efforts.

10. Adam Zampa (Australia)

Australia’s leading wicket-taker in the tournament, Adam Zampa equalled Muttiah Muralidaran for most wickets by a spinner in a single Men’s Cricket World Cup.

His 23 wickets came at an average of 22.39, and he took three consecutive four-wicket hauls in the league stage, including a remarkable spell of 4/8 against the Netherlands.

Only Mohammed Shami took more wickets in the tournament than the Aussie leg-spinner.

And Zampa’s lower-order 29 against England ended up being pivotal in a match that put Australia in control of their progression to the semi-finals.

11. Mohammed Shami (India)

The tournament’s top wicket-taker, Mohammed Shami was simply extraordinary for a team that he wasn’t even a part of at the start of the campaign.

Shami sat out his team’s first four matches, but was remarkable from thereon in, taking 24 wickets at an average of just 10.70 and 5.26.

Only four players in the history of the men’s game have taken more Cricket World Cup wickets than Shami's 55 – Lasith Malinga (56) Mitchell Starc (65), Muttiah Muralitharan (68) and Glenn McGrath (71) – with Shami’s returns coming in ten fewer matches than any of those above him in the list.

12th: Gerald Coetzee (South Africa)

South Africa needed a spark in their attack in the absence of Anrich Nortje, and found it in young Gerald Coetzee.

He bowled with pace and threat throughout the campaign, taking 20 wickets across his eight matches.

The 23-year-old finished with an average of 19.80 and economy of 6.23

Rahul impressed mainly during the middle overs, scoring a tournament best 102 against the Netherlands in Bengaluru and contributing an even better innings of 97* against Australia at the start of the event.

The 31-year-old finished the World Cup with a superb average of 75.33, which was the third best overall for any batter during the tournament.

6. Glenn Maxwell (Australia)

The Big Show provided two all-time moments with the bat. His century against the Netherlands was the fastest ever seen at a Men’s Cricket World Cup, coming off just 40 balls.

But his effort against Afghanistan was even more extraordinary.

With Australia requiring 292 and slipping to 91/7, Maxwell produced arguably the greatest individual innings of all-time, scoring 201* from 128 balls as he battled pressure, Afghanistan’s spinners and crippling cramp to get his team across the line.

7. Ravindra Jadeja (India)

India’s spin-bowling all-rounder played a crucial role for his team, taking key wickets throughout the middle overs and consistently turning the screw.

His economy rate was among the best in the tournament, going for 4.25 per over as he brilliantly backed up the new-ball attack.

With the bat he played an important role at number seven too, scoring 120 runs in his five appearances in the middle.

8. Jasprit Bumrah (India)

The leader of India’s attack, Jasprit Bumrah was relentless in his excellence.

While being a threat in all sections of the innings, it was Bumrah’s new-ball brilliance that made the biggest impact for his team.

He took wickets throughout the tournament, and proved extremely difficult to get away.

No bowler to have played more than a single game in the tournament was able to return a better economy rate than Bumrah’s 4.06 – an even more remarkable stat considering he was so often in action when the fielding restrictions were in place.

9. Dilshan Madushanka (Sri Lanka)

Sri Lanka’s left-arm speedster Dilshan Madushanka was a revelation.

His 21 wickets put him firmly in the tournament’s top five wicket-takers, and he was a relentless threat with the new ball.

A haul of 5/80 against India was the pick of his efforts.

10. Adam Zampa (Australia)

Australia’s leading wicket-taker in the tournament, Adam Zampa equalled Muttiah Muralidaran for most wickets by a spinner in a single Men’s Cricket World Cup.

His 23 wickets came at an average of 22.39, and he took three consecutive four-wicket hauls in the league stage, including a remarkable spell of 4/8 against the Netherlands.

Only Mohammed Shami took more wickets in the tournament than the Aussie leg-spinner.

And Zampa’s lower-order 29 against England ended up being pivotal in a match that put Australia in control of their progression to the semi-finals.

11. Mohammed Shami (India)

The tournament’s top wicket-taker, Mohammed Shami was simply extraordinary for a team that he wasn’t even a part of at the start of the campaign.

Shami sat out his team’s first four matches, but was remarkable from thereon in, taking 24 wickets at an average of just 10.70 and 5.26.

Only four players in the history of the men’s game have taken more Cricket World Cup wickets than Shami's 55 – Lasith Malinga (56) Mitchell Starc (65), Muttiah Muralitharan (68) and Glenn McGrath (71) – with Shami’s returns coming in ten fewer matches than any of those above him in the list.

12th: Gerald Coetzee (South Africa)

South Africa needed a spark in their attack in the absence of Anrich Nortje, and found it in young Gerald Coetzee.

He bowled with pace and threat throughout the campaign, taking 20 wickets across his eight matches.

The 23-year-old finished with an average of 19.80 and economy of 6.23

Travis Head with MAN OF THE MATCH AWARDS IN BOTH SEMIFINAL AND FINAL DOESN'T MAKE THE TEAM???

not only Indian fans but looks like the ICC also just appreciates performances in dead rubbers and NOT knockouts/finals
Team is filled with chokers who failed when it mattered most

KL Rahul with below average strike rate THROUGHOUT the tournament also makes this team? When you already have De Kock as keeper?

Too many questions
 
Let's see if you agree with Saj's Team of the Tournament:

More specifically

Quinton de Kock or KL Rahul?

Glenn Maxwell or Ravindra Jadeja?

Gerald Coetzee or Dilshan Madushanka?

Adam Zampa or Kuldeep Yadav?

Daryl Mitchell or Rassie van der Dussen?

 
None of Kohli, Iyer, Rahul belong in it. Period. Neither does kuldeep who really is a lol worthy bowler when he gets hit.
Neither should jadeja be there. Rest can be any combo you want.

Yea, the player who set a record of scoring the maximum runs in a single WC edition, and was also the MOS should not be there because his team lost in the final.

Travis Head mops the floor with kohli. He achieved more than kogli ever did in just 3 years.

Kohli has won the same amount of icc trophies as him? His head also better than any cricketer Pakistan has ever produced?

No, he didn't! His team did. In that case, Darren Lehmann achieved 10x more (99' WC, 03' WC) than Brian Lara did. You might try to swing it any way you want to, but the real cricketing fraternity that actually matters including the ICC has already named the Best XI of this WC. And irrespective of how much you cry, it's not going to change.

Delusional fans and cricketing legends do it out of obligation. Deep down everyone knows he fails when his team needs him. Travis is a far superior player. Darren dint single handedly help his team win.

The difference between india and aus was literally Travis Head in wtc final and here too.
 
Rohit Sharma
M Head
Q de Kock (wkt)
V Kohli
D Mitchell
G Maxwell
R Jadeja
P Cummins(c)
M Shami
J Bumrah
A Zampa

We all know what type of player the cricketing fraternity considers Kohli to be. We also know whose option holds more value, your or theirs.

We all know the truth. Travis is much greater than kohli in his short stint so far. People like thos who you refer to think of iyer sky and Rahul as world class players who deliver under pressure too. Their opinions hold zero weight. Lot of the commies and so call legends just spout about rehearsed rubbish to appease their sponsors. I would take their opinion with a grain of salt.

The record is there for everyone to see. He failed to take his team through. Yet again. Not the first time. This is the 4 th or 5th time now.

Legends should be players like Travis Head who actually help their team win titles. Now you will bring up gambir. Well Travis Head averages better than gambir in both tests and odi.
He is a match winner. Wait for it. In all formats.
And he plays in the hardest position in tests. He opens against the new ball in short formats too. He is a tier or 2 above kohli.

Kohli is just a bilateral built. This is the reality.
 
What do you think about this team?
I am surprised that Shahidi, edwards and rizwan are on this list... why Malan??
LOTS of questions here.

Former Indian cricket team coach Ravi Shastari was quoted as saying on a local sports channel:

"The ODI Team of the Year is chosen based on fans' votes"

"It's a joke. Rashid Khan... does he play? I think there must be only Indians voting in there. No one else. Mitchell Marsh, Rashid Khan, Quinton de Kock. One player from the World Cup winning team in Adam Zampa? What a No. 7. Rashid is one of the best around. For him not to make the cut there, unbelievable. Jadeja is the best all-rounder. Him and Rashid would have been the ideal combination across all surfaces in the world."

Former South Africa fast bowler Vernon Philander was surprised that even Glenn Maxwell could not make the mark. He said:

"If I am Quinton de Kock, I'll be highly disappointed to be missing out on selection. With his last year in ODI cricket and to sign off in the way he did... I tell you what. He is an incredible player. I understand that all these guys are worthy of selection; they've had a wonderful year, especially the Indians."

"Virat brings stability. But for me, maybe an Aiden Markram. David Miller another name. Glenn Maxwell, how can you leave him out? He saved Australia from the death. There are just so many to pick from. If I was Maxwell, I would feel really hard done by selection."
