2007 Cricket World Cup will remain as one of the worst world cup ever. Though India and Pakistan disappointed the fans, Australia, Sri Lanka, New Zealand and Bangladesh entertained with their fine exhibition of all round Cricket.   My Dream 2007 cricket world cup team:   Captain:  1. Mahela Jayawardene – He played captaincy knocks in the vital games. He is the shrewdest captain in this world cup. He is slightly ahead of Ricky Ponting in the captaincy race.       Openers:     2. Mathew Hayden – He is the best batsman in this world cup.   3. Sanath Jayasuriya – He is the match winner on his day. He can destruct any bowling attack to pieces on his day.   Middle order:     4. Ricky Ponting – He is the best batsman on planet earth on current form.  5. Scott Styris – Most consistent batsman for New Zealand.  6. Kevin Pietersen – He is the lone warrior in the England batting Line up.   Wicket Keeper:      7. Adam Gilchrist – How can I miss a keeper – batsman who can walk away into any team of any generation?         Bowling Attack:    8. Shane Bond – My favourite fast bowler.  9. Glenn McGrath – Best bowler on the earth.10. Muttaih Muralitharan – He is an automatic selection like Hayden and McGrath.  11. Nathan Bracken – he may not have taken maximum number of wickets like Tait, he is the most controlled bowler in 2007 world cup. Sanath Jayasuriya and Scott Styris complete the remaining 10 overs. My dream missed a genuine all-rounder. Who missed selection by a split margin: 12. Michael Clarke – Future hope for Australia.  13. Shane Watson – According to Ponting, he is the most crucial member in Australian team.  14. Shaun Tait – He missed the selection due to lack of control. Speed is not enough man! It is dangerous some times.  15. Lalith Malinga – Future hope for Sri Lankan Cricket.  16. Masharafe Mortaza – He bowled consistently well against the top order of top teams.  17. Rahul Dravid – Bad luck! You are the member of Indian team.  18. Gibbs – Congrats for hitting 6 sixers in an over.        Special Thanks: 1. Ireland and Bangladesh teams – for their fighting spirit.  2. Bermuda team – Purely for entertainment.       Special Mention:  Andrew Flintoff, Sachin Tendulkar, Michael Hussey, Inzamam and Chris Gayle – I disappointed with their performance.   … [Read more...]
