If you can post the name and later edit it with fancy stuff, we can move on as Ashutosh is on and he has a double pick.

Yuvraj Singh
There isn't a better sight in cricket when Yuvraj Singh is in flow. His timing of the ball is divine and the viewer just goes wow! Yuvi can demolish any bowling attack on his day. For me he is the cleanest hitter of a cricket ball. One of the very few batsmen who makes batting look ridiculously easy. He was the pillar behind India's triumph in the 2011 WC. He scored over 350 runs and picked up 15 wickets in that WC. He was man of the match on 4 occasions and also the Man of the tournament. His left arm spin can be very deceptive and Yuvi was known for breaking important partnerships in his 2011 heroics. A true all rounder who will bat at 5 in my XI.

Rahul Dravid.


He is well known as 'The Wall' of Indian Cricket. Since he was a great test player, he wasn't considered as a ODI batsman. He proved everybody wrong through his consistent performances in 1999 WC where he average more than 60 and also created many records on that WC. His highest score in WC is 145 which resulted in huge 300+ partnership with Ganguly against SL which became was a world record. The same SL that had once wrecked India in 1996.

In 2003 WC, Indian WK Nayan Mongia got injured which forced Dravid to keep wickets for rest of the tournament. He also continued his consistent performance with the bat in the same tournament but failed miserably after WC. He also failed as a captain in 2007 WC where India got kicked out in group stage itself. Although, he still averages more than 60 in WC games.

He will play at his regular position of no.3 and will also be my Wicket-Keeper.

Rahul Dravid's World Cup Stats:

Innings: 22
Runs: 860
Average: 61.42
SR: 74.97
HS: 145
100s: 2
50s: 6

St: 1

Anil Kumble

Anil-Kumble.jpg

One of the great tall wrist-spinners, Kumble wreaked havoc at the 1996 World Cup.

Not a massive turner of the ball, Anil Kumble instead relied on pace, springing the ball off cracks in the pitch giving batsmen little time to react. It is therefore no surprise that he found great success on such pitches on his home turf during the 1996 World Cup.
Already heading in to the tournament he was going in on the back of a successful campaign, leading the wicket-taking charts for the calendar year and he carried this form seamlessly onto the world's biggest stage.

Although his side were knocked out by eventual champions Sri Lanka in the semi-final, he finished the tournament with 15 wickets at 18.73 and swept up the accolade of highest wicket taker.


World Cup Record:

Matches: 18
Innings: 18
Overs: 173.1
Runs: 708
Wickets: 31
Best: 4/32
Average: 22.83
Economy: 4.08
Strike Rate: 33.5

Some real nice picks in both the rounds. Wasn't expecting Bell, Trott or Gatting to be picked in England round though, it will be interesting to see what happens in the last round of the draft. Some very good English players still remain.

Sachin was an obvious first pick and Dravid, Kumble, Ganguly, Zaheer are all excellent picks. Ganguly has also been handy with the ball during the WCs. If Ali didn't pick him I would have gone with Ganguly.
