List of World XI ODI cricketers
The ICC World ODI XI is a team chosen by the International Cricket Council (ICC), representing the most talented One Day International cricketers currently playing international cricket. A One Day International, or ODI, is an international cricket match between two representative teams, each having ODI status, as determined by the ICC. An ODI differs from a Test match in that the number of overs per team is limited, and that each team has only one innings. The ICC World XI has played four matches, one for the 2005 World Cricket Tsunami Appeal (where the World XI was made up of the best non-Asian players), and three in the 2005 ICC Super Series (where the World XI was made up of the best non-Australian players). The list is arranged in the order in which each player won his first ODI cap. In cases in which more than one player won his first ODI cap in the same match, these players are listed alphabetically by surname. All these players have represented their respective national teams too, but only the records of their games for the ICC World XI are given.
The ODI between the World XI and Asian XI ended in a World XI victory by 112 runs. Ricky Ponting, captaining the side, scored 115 as the World XI batted first and scored 344/8, with Chris Cairns and Brian Lara both scoring half centuries. The Asian XI was unable to reach 345 for victory but did make 232 from their innings. For every run scored in the match, $1,000 was donated to the tsunami appeal.[1] Over 70,000 people attended the match which was televised in 122 countries. The endeavour raised over A$14 million.[2] A second fund-raising match between the two teams was cancelled due to unsuitable playing conditions.[3]
The series between the World XI and Australia was unsuccessful. The sides were unbalanced, with Australia winning all three ODIs – and the only Test match – and the series drew criticism from the media. It had been planned that the series would be held every four years, between World Cups, however the uneven results and poor reception from fans threw the future of the series into doubt. The crowds attending matches were also disappointing, Malcolm Speed – then the chief executive officer of the ICC – said that he had hoped an extra 4,000 people would have attended each day's play. The ICC made a press release stating that "Every four years starting on 1 April 2005 the top team in the ICC Test Championship will qualify to play the Team of Champions in the ICC Super Series Test for a winner-takes-all prize".[4][5]
