I have a piece up on Rediff with my 2007 World Cup XI<\/a>, with reasons and suchlike. To give you just a listing, here’s my XI:<\/p>\n 1 Matthew Hayden, 2 Adam Gilchrist (wk), 3 Ricky Ponting (capt), 4 Scott Styris, 5 Mahela Jayawardene, 6 Kevin Pietersen, 7 Brad Hogg, 8 Lasith Malinga, 9 Nathan Bracken, 10 Muttiah Muralitharan, 11 Glenn McGrath.<\/p>\n Cricinfo also has a WC XI here<\/a>, and the only difference, besides the batting order, is that they’ve picked Shane Bond instead of Bracken. Well, I picked Bracken over Bond because big-match temperament matters to me: in New Zealand’s most important game of all, Bond failed to deliver.<\/p>\n Comments are open. What’s your 2007 World Cup XI?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
