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.
