Not sure about Jonathan Trott either. Not the most fashionable of players, especially in ODIs, which quite often leads to his contribution being undervalued.
Athlai
Not Terrible
Averaged something ridiculous in the leadup to the world cup didn't he?

Yeah, played well in Australia for damn sure, but still think a lot of people would have expected an Amla, for example, to outperform him.

Lol nice.
Anyway this is basically a WC XI thread yeah?
Without look at stats as I cbf:
Dilshan
Tendulkar
Trott
AB Devilliers
Yuvraj
RtD
Afridi
Zaheer
Malinga
Gul/Southee (tough)
Tahir

AWTA.
But if we have to include other players - I'd have to go with
T. Dilshan
S. Tendulkar
K. Sangakkara (k)
A. De Villiers
Y. Singh
R. ten Doeschate
S. Afridi
R, Peterson
T. Southee
Z. Khan
I. Tahir
Plethora of bowling options (5 bpnafide spinning options and 3 pacers) and whilst batting looks a little light, I'd expect this team to defend most totals based on their WC form.

Not much between these teams, seems to be a consensus over about 15 or so players. Two to have been overlooked so far would be Brett Lee and Ross Taylor.
Dilshan
Tendulkar

Ten Doeschate
Afridi

ICC team has been announced. Some questionable selctions to say the least.
Tendulkar
Dilshan
Sangakkara ( Wk /Capt )
Jayawardena
De Villiers
Yuvraj
Watson
Afridi
Steyn
Zaheer
Murali
12th: Southee
Steyn and Murali had a couple of excellent spells but were nowhere near their best, I'd have rated Malinga, Southee, Lee, Tahir and Peterson's performances higher. Moving Watson out of position only to supplant Ten Doeschate or another batsman has to be the weirdest call.

Well if it's on performances in this World cup, the Asians would do it because they've won more matches for their team. If it's just a hypothetical ODI, it'd depend a lot on where it is.
Nonetheless, I'd say:
Strauss
Amla
Trott
Taylor
De Villiers
Watson
Ten Doeschate
Lee
Steyn
Southee
Tahir
Would say it's pretty close, but for the openers.

Picked MSD over Sanga, as I feel his captaincy and field settings played a crucial role in India's victory, along with how he shuffled the bowlers. He also showed himself to be a man for pressure situations, his innings will go down as one of the all-time great captain's innings. Gotta respect that.
Trott over Sanga at 3 as he was more consistent. ABDV over Sanga because MSD has the gloves, and ABDV is more electric in the field. Plus, can bat lower in the order and give it that fire power.
Bowling attack more or less picks itself. 3 seamers, Afridi + Yuvi + Dilshan for spin.

Considering SC conditions, Peterson ahead of Lee I reckon. Watson gives you the third seam option.
