All-rounders - Marcus Stoinis, Glenn Maxwell

The strategy of playing just four specialist bowlers in the playing XI meant that the role of the all-rounders in the side, Marcus Stoinis and Glenn Maxwell, became extremely crucial to Australia's chances in the World Cup.

Marcus Stoinis had cemented his side in the team prior to the World Cup and was certain to play a big role with both bat and ball. However, he was in miserable form in the World Cup, scoring just 83 runs in 8 innings at an average of 13.83. He fared slightly better with the ball, picking up 7 wickets but gave away runs at an economy rate of 6.10.

Glenn Maxwell, one of the best spin all-rounders in the world was certainly not in the best of form all through this World Cup campaign. The 'Big Show' scored only 177 runs in 10 games at an average of 22.12 and failed to contribute with the ball either, finishing wicketless at the end of the tournament.
