Agree with all of this apart from being over-rated. He's obviously class but he is properly annoying. A bit like company man Eoin Morgan.

People were putting him in their all time England ODI side to open before this tournament, makes him hugely overrated for me

The all time business is pointless in ODI cricket though. The game has changed so much in the last 20 years that a performance that was deemed great in, say, the 92 World Cup would be seen as pedestrian now. And the media have a memory that is only slightly better than that of a goldfish.

Think it’s tough enough to pick an 11 from this World Cup alone
Roy
Sharma
Root
Williamson
Shakib
Stokes
Carey
Starc
Bumrah
Archer
Which spinner though ?!

Just watched it again on tv. Roy indicated to Bairstow it was either legside or more likely pitching outside with his bat , before umpire decision. Bairstow than asked him, and assume Roy must have confirmed , hence review. When you look at Roy's position on the crease he would have had no idea.
Imagine if you are at other end to Kohli, and he asks your opinion, you are going to say review. Imagine if you said it was out and it wasn't.

Hasn't been a great World Cup for spinners, but Shakib could do the job and you could then play Ferguson.

Yeah he would be the other guy to bring in but must be hard to leave out the likes of Woakes who has been superb

Root and Williamson could end up top run scorer if they get a ton. Root has one more run than Williamson at the momemnt. Can't see anyone beating Starc for top wicket taker.
You have to include Warner. As superb as he is despisable. Would probably pick 3 openers in top 3 and 2 numbers 3s at 4&5 - it's not been much of a tournament for the middle order.
Shakib your spinner.
Starc and Bumrah obviously in.
The NZ and England attacks have been very much a team effort, you'd have to take one from each but not sure who yet and arguments could be made for 2/3 from each of them.

Is the TOTT for me. Really wanted to get Root and Babar in there but couldn’t drop any of that top 5, they’ve all been so good. That bowling attack is scary good.

Not purely on stats, for me Williamson would be in my side even if he gets 0 in the final as he has pretty much carried his side through the comp, partly with his runs but also with his captaincy and a few under pressure catches too. Roots runs have mainly come under far less pressure comparatively.
If Bairstow got 200 in the final then expect it would be pretty hard not to pick him yes, cant see it though
For me Sharma , Shakib, Roy, Williamson, Carey, Starc, Bumrah would be certs in my side needing 2 batters from Finch, Warner, Bairstow (see what i did there), Root, Stokes and 2 bowlers from Boult, Ferguson, Archer, Woakes, Mustafizzer, Amir

Fair play to Sky for allowing it to happen. They get a lot of grief but this is a great decision and some positive publicity for them.

good to see Roy penalised 3 times as much as Kohli was despite Kohli committing the offense twice lol

I have no probs with Roy losing 30% of match fee (which the ginger ninja should pay
) and 2 demerit points if everyone got it for the same offense (rather than 10% no demerit points as captain!)ColchesterFC

For me, you have to pick players who have won games for their team and delivered under pressure - so Warner (who has scored by and large too slowly) is nowhere near my side. Sharma misses out for a similar reason - when the pressure was on, he wilted. Though if we were allowed to pic Bairstow as a keeper despite his not keeping throught he tournament, I might be tempted to take him over Carey.
So:
Roy
Bairstow
Williamson
Root
Shakib
Stokes
Carey
Ferguson or Neesham
Starc
Archer
Bumrah

Thought the Fizz was disappointing this World Cup. Picked up some late wickets, but went for plenty. Think he was found out in last IPL. Archer has been excellent, even when not taking wickets, and has been very economical. Woakes good up front, but is not a death bowler in my mind. Just the right pace to go the distance. Bumrah is just different class at the end of innings.Not purely on stats, for me Williamson would be in my side even if he gets 0 in the final as he has pretty much carried his side through the comp, partly with his runs but also with his captaincy and a few under pressure catches too. Roots runs have mainly come under far less pressure comparatively.

I was really impressed with Barbar. Very elegant batsmen, consistent, and calm. Definitely one that surprised me and could be another Root, Williamson.
Maxwell was disappointing again. As one of the commentators said, a ‘no show’ but he is a stunning fielder. Having watched nearly all the games, I am going to be sad when it is all over.
