Cricket-Match-Special ... A forum for discussion

We've had our best XI from the world cup, but what about a team of players (not England) who have been a let down, not necessarily the worst XI.

Amla - one ton and couple of starts, then it all went wrong.
Sharma - One very good hundred apart, a disappointing tournament for the world record holder.
Kohli - One ton promised a great tournament. Went seriously off the boil after that.
Williamson - Was in magnificent form prior to the world cup. Has one more chance to redeem himself, though.
Ross Taylor - was once one of the best players ODI in the world but has batted like he's English. Like Kane, has one more chance.
Morgan - Many might not have expected much, but I did.
De Kock - Like Amla, had a poor tournament, given his past record.
Matthews - Sri-Lanka's key all-rounder didn't do much with bat or ball.
Steyn - The peaky blinder, bowled without menace.
Broad - Arguably England's best ODI bowler had a stinker.
Anderson - Ordered (I hope) to bowl short, and it failed.

No room for Twatto or Clarke?

I'm afraid I can't see past the England players although a mention has to go to Scotland's Calum MacLeod.

He hasn't hurt himself, so I guess you're right.

Finn sort of did ok against Scotland. But I ignored performances against non quarter finalists. Finn did really badly against the big sides (Last three balls hat trick v Australia was meaningless).

Bit harsh on Root, Buttler, Taylor and Woakes

I'll resist the temptation to list an eleven consisting purely of English and West Indian players.

1.de Kock
2.Finch
3.D Smith
4.Jayawardene
5.R Taylor
6.Morgan
7.Jadeja
8.T Perera
9.Broad
10.Roach
11.Panyangara

In terms of players who before the tournament had excellent reputations and completely failed to live up to them:

De Kock
Warner
Kohli
Williamson
Jayawardene
Morgan
Ronchi
J Taylor
Broad
Anderson
Steyn
