Cape Town - South Africa's Quinton de Kock has made a New Zealand website's starting XI for the worst team of the 2015 Cricket World Cup.
De Kock scored 145 runs at a lowly average of 20.71. His unbeaten 78 against Sri Lanka in the quarter-finals was his only noteworthy contribution with the bat.
He mostly kept wicket well, but it was otherwise a pretty forgettable World Cup for the youngster, with his run-out fumble in the semi-final loss to New Zealand also proving costly.
Kiwi website, Stuff.co.nz, has come up with a 'Not First XI' for the tournament, featuring players who underachieved.
"We were going to call the team England, but unfortunately that name has been taken," the website wrote.

Dwayne Smith - Opener - West Indies (93 runs, average 15.5)
Quinton de Kock - Opener - South Africa (145 runs, average 20.71)
