In this quiz, you have to name the top 25 bowlers in the ICC men's ODI rankings on the eve of the 2011 Cricket World Cup.
The 2011 men's ODI World Cup was won by India; their second title and first in 28 years. But heading into the tournament, only three of their bowlers featured in the top 25 of the ICC rankings – and none of them higher than 18th in the world. One of those three even missed out on the final squad due to injury.
