Your T20 WC 'Flop' XI from the Eliminated Teams

[Everton Seymour]

If you had to make a Flop XI from those eliminated,
what would it look like ?

 

[Pup Clarke]

Rabada for one. Very very underwhelming tournament. Love the bloke, but something looks amiss in his bowling the last 6 months
Don't know whether its more mental/psychological issues e.g burnout, or whether he's regressed as a T20 bowler?

EDIT : Random question, but has Rabada had a BBL contract before ? Might have played a factor in how poorly he bowled. Bowled the wrong lengths from what I saw

His catching was quality though. Would've done great in the Chris Jordan role.

Rabadas t20 career has always felt like that in my opinion. He either gets early wickets or is very poor, his not very consistent in this form.

Quinton DeKock had a terrible tournament for one of the great South African batsman

 

[Socerer 01]

my vain attempt at one

1. Warner
2. Madhevere
3. Shakib with bat
4. Tector
5. Rajapaksa
6. Stubbs
7. Shanaka
8. Karunaratne
9. Rabada
10. Adair
11. Ahmad

Lucky ones to miss out - Sarkar, Starc, Cooper, Shumba, N. Zadran

 

[Tom Flint]

Cummins stats look better than how he actually performed

If Temba Bavuma is not captain of this team, the team has no credibility.

that's the neat part, nobody expected anything from him so he did not flop at all

That’s true, everyone knew he was there for non cricketing reasons. South African cricket is gonski

 

[FBU]

I would have had Ellis instead of Cummins. Has anyone better T20 stats?

5 games 15 wickets at 8.53 econ 6.40 s/r 8.0

 

[Victor Ian]

I'll have a go

Warner
Finch
Marsh
Etc
Etc
Starc
Cummins
Hazelwood

I don't remember an innings of note from David too. Almost just Stoinis who carried the team.

David only got to bat twice and faced a total of 18 balls tbf, played a few good knocks leading into the WC, similar situation w/Wade.

 

[TheJediBrah]

They were a putrid 18 balls though, far from good enough at this level

fair excuse for Wade though. Point well made

 

[Daemon]

He still managed to bomb one into the stands, something which Steven noodle arms Smith hasn’t managed for about 6 years now.

 

[ashley bach]

Babar should be on the list even though they qualified by the skin of their balls.
Feels like fortune is with Pakistan atm, and if he suddenly finds form they could easily win the tournament.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Pakistan don't win tournaments

I hate this total hipster Aus culture of just assuming all the Test players are **** at T20 and that Aus would've won the tournamen if only the selectors weren't dumb... but Ellis definitely should've been playing.

The worst selection was probably Kane R ahead of Ellis in the squad. They then selected him as a specialist death bowler in the eleven which made it worse given what Ellis does.

Was the call on Kane that bad? He had 15 odd wickets @18 this year before the WC in t20I, while starc has a similar number of wickets @23 and Cummins was averaging 30 and going at 9's.
