[PowerBug]

GAHHHH SO MANY DECISIONS

[PowerBug]

Question is quite clearly, "Who will score the most runs in the World Cup?" Unless of course, I value the 20 points per wicket higher than the runs. Also the fielding bonus could be a factor and it brings WKs in to the frame. Or is there one dominating All Rounder that will top this competition by a long way.

After pondering all that, I will pick Gar... no wait, I pick:

AB de Villiers

[Torpedo10]

In the form if his life. I could think of better picks in this sort of game but he's the safest bet

Steve Smith

[Noz]

post for notifications

[Rusty00]

Spent a while deciding whether to take a punt or go safe. Taking a punt on an inform player from an inform team

Kane Williamson

[Noz]

Hashim Amla

[Nige]

Oh, I have last pick. flower.

[JBs-Hawks]

Rohit Sharma

[nrich102]

Brendon McCullum

[R.Griffen]

Vernon Philander

Sorry for the wait I didn't get a PM

[Spinking]

Would have taken AB or McCullum, but pleased to pick this bloke:

Dave Warner

[Nige]

Hopefully this works out, I'll take two explosive fellas - Chris Gayle and Shahid Afridi.

[Spinking]

Ian Bell

[R.Griffen]

James Anderson
