World Cup 2015: 8 all-rounders who can make an impact

Here is a list of 8 all-rounders who have the best chance of succeeding,and in turn help the team progress through stages,in the 2015 ICC World Cup to be held in Australia and New Zealand.

#1 Corey Anderson

The world can never forget his breathtaking 36-ball 100 against West Indies, which broke Shahid Afridi’s world record for the fastest international century ever scored, a 37-ball 100 against Sri Lanka back in 1996.

His hard-hitting strokeplay won him laurels and a permanent place in the shorter formats. His ability to take wickets and break vital partnerships, bowling at a brisk pace, has proven to be very useful for the New Zealand team, which will also be co-hosting the tournament along with Australia.

In familiar conditions and the small grounds of New Zealand, the 23-year-old can single-handedly take the game away from the opponents with the bat and his left-arm over angle with the ball is always bound to create problems. While he is assured of a slot, it would be interesting to see if James Neesham, a very similar type of player, can be paired with him down the order to relieve him of enormous expectations.
