Who makes the cut in our New Zealand-South Africa Cricket World Cup composite XI?
Plenty of pace and power have been in evidence over the years from two sides still awaiting their first World Cup trophy.
South Africa boast a roster of players who are statistically exceptional at World Cups, but for all their talent have been found wanting in key moments. New Zealand have traditionally been a force when hosting tournaments but struggle to make a similar impact abroad, so often overshadowed by their antipodean neighbours.
1. Herschelle Gibbs (South Africa)
One of the best fielders in world cricket, at the 1999 tournament Gibbs famously dropped Steve Waugh celebrating before he had full control of the ball; a moment which signalled a shift in momentum away from favourites South Africa to eventual winners Australia. Gibbs had earlier that game made an authoritative 101. His other World Cup highlights include hitting six sixes in an over against the Netherlands in 2007, the first player to do so in ODI cricket.
1,067 CWC runs @56.15, 2 centuries
