T20 World Cup Finals Draft

Silver Silva

International Regular
I have followed HB's principles of a long batting line up with plenty of all-round options, I believe my XI is perfectly balanced and suited to all conditions, my captain has been a part of teams that have won world cups and will instill a no fear mentality among the group, the batting is power-packed with six hitting experts all the way through to No.10 which will be held together by the criminally underrated Dawid Malan who has an outstanding T20 record..

My line up in batting order :

1.Shane Watson
2.Phil Salt (WK)
3.Dawid Malan
4.Eoin Morgan (C)
5.Glenn Maxwell
6.Hardik Pandya
7.Mohammad Nabi
8.Mitchell Santner
9.Rashid Khan
10.Shaheen Shah Afridi
11.Josh Hazlewood

International Captain
Quinton de Kock (wk)
Brendon McCullum (c)
Steve Smith
Ross Taylor
Andrew Symonds
Kieron Pollard
Ravindra Jadeja
Mitchell Starc
Pat Cummins
Shane Bond
Mutthiah Muralitharan

Happy with this side - most of the batters are elite fielders as well, an experienced, aggressive opening pair, solidity provided by S Smith and Taylor, a dynamic Symonds and heaps of T20 experience in Pollard and Jadeja who can be aggressive from ball 1 or play themselves in for the big finish.

Bond and Starc provide security in the death overs and ensures Cummins can excel in the powerplay and middle overz. With the ability and variety of Murali wouldn't mind him bowling late into the innings either. Meanwhile, Jadeja is adept at strangling teams with the ball and with the death bowling options he could very much do that.

What's the criteria when it comes to voting?

Is it based on player quality across formats or performances just in T20I ?

For example AB was a great IPL player but he had a rather average record in T20I , Bond and Murali were great bowlers in their prime but they have less than 40 wickets combined in T20 internationals .

Just to clarify is this career performance in T20Is only or T20Is and T20s combined?

Unlike @capt_Luffy and others, I had a relatively limited knowledge of T20i performances. As the selection criteria was restricted to those who had played in T20 WC semi finals and finals, I checked the scorecards from those games, noting those who had made significant contributions (multiple wickets and/or 25+ runs at a good SR) in these matches. I also noted who had won MoM and or MVP awards in those games. There were players who had good reputations in T20 but who had failed in the pressure-cooker of WC finals. I ignored those. My initial selections were for players with more than one significant performance plus a MoM or MVP award. As a result, the first 8 in my batting order all have MoM honours with a total of 10 awards between them. As for my bowlers, all have performed well with four of them in the top 50 of all-time ICC T20i rankings (I consulted this upon finding fewer bowlers with multiple significant contributions in finals - all have at least one - and was swayed by their overall rankings).
I'm not sure how this line-up will go in the voting, but as far as performances in WC finals go they would be hard to toss.
