For most places you can find excellent replacements, the only big disappointment were spinners. Not even one Shawn.

amir hasn't done anything of note to be included in worldcup 11. i will replace him with shaheen

What has Kohli done to deserve being there? Huge fan of his but he had a relatively disappointing tournament
 
Possibly, but Root and Williamson in one XI is perhaps a bit too slow. You can only have 1 of the 2 IMO

Maybe. But I don't see another middle order batsman who's done enough to deserve a place in this XI.

Yeah, that's true, besides Root actually had a Strike Rate of 90+ this tournament which is very good, so Root and Williamson probably would work.

Warner
Williamson
Root
Shakib
Stokes
Carey
Starc
Amir/Ferguson
Archer
Bumrah

It doesn't seems to be a tournament of power-hitters.

If it’s purely based on the WC performances, then Kohli doesn’t deserve to be there. He’s just because of his past performances

Lol who th voted for this trash xi

It's a very good XI actually. 9 out of 11 of these guys deserve to be there 100%.

All you gotta do is replace Kohli with Root.

Replacing Stokes for Neesham may be an option not but compulsory.

Other than that it's a great XI.

3. Joe Root
4. Kane Williamson (c)
5. Shakib Al Hasan
6. Alex Carey (wk)
7. Ben Stokes
8. Mitchell Starc
9. Jofra Archer

Best Batsman: Jason Roy or Kane Williamson (depends on who wins the final)
 
Roy
Sharma
Williamson (c)
Shakib
Pooran
Stokes
Carey

The spinners have had a woeful tournament, but I had to pick someone.
 
England and New Zealand players only - all the rest can be extras!

I don't understand your team selection. Is it personal preference? Performance wise - even captain wise, it doesn't make sense.

Personal choice plus David Warner was one of the best in this WC.. Rohit made 5 centuries...

Babar performed in crucial situations.. Shakib was in form of his life..

Ben Stokes today showed his metal in the final... Alex Carey in semi final proved everyone that he is a fighter..

Muhammad Nabi is an excellent all rounder with his spin and can also play good innings at no. 7..

Amir among the top wicket takers... Yuzvendre Chahal bowled brilliantly in this world cup.. Yes we can also play Santner in place of Yuzvendre but overall not a bad lineup

Starc among the best bowlers as well.. And Bumrah is no. 1 bowler in ICC rankings..!!

What is wrong with this team? It's not too bad in my opinion..

I can't believe people are choosing Bumrah over Henry or Ferguson. Heck, even Mustafizur was better than Bumrah this WC.

Disagree about Fizz. He was the best death bowler of the tournament. But he was not half as good as the others in the remaining overs. I would not pick Bumrah either tbh. He just didn't get enough wickets.

Though I don't disagree with some of the selection but there are better performers in place of nabi/babar. I would have assumed the captaincy selection is from the current lot, not pick one and make him captain. Hence my question to you. Williamson deserves that captain title by a long shot. He gets in, babar out. Nabi doesn't deserve a spot in my book, neither does chahal - he has bowled well, not well enough.

Obviously like every team has weakness and my thinking can also be questioned I think there is nothing bad about it :) It's like attempting to try and make a good team but no one can say how the team will perform on a particular day..!!

For sure, I was curious why you went on with that team, so stopped by to ask.
