Cricketer Of The Year
Let's look at Mohit Sharma. He's been the single best fielder among the fast bowlers, so he's a lot fitter. Surely he can be instructed and encouraged to bowl faster, at over 145 km/h? I don't know how fast he actually is, since those speed gun readings of 140 km/h are likely wonky, but he seems to have the fitness for it. That will also help his strike rate get better and become competitive.

Jonty Rhodes was also fit. Couldn't bowl at 140 k now could he Arjun?

No Indian bowler has got a 4 wicket haul v non minnows in world cup history. That's quite pathetic.

That's just completely false. Shami took 4 against Pakistan a couple of weeks ago for starters! I'm sure Nehra ran through a few decent teams in 2003 too (most memorably England). I don't know where you get your info from sometimes.

This was the most pointless match of the WC. A 9 wicket win right after the Aus vs. NZ game. Brutal.

India doing the job though. Good stuff.

Think the stat they showed clearly mentioned "spinners"... No Indian spinner has taken more than 3 wickets against non-minnow sides.. And given that only 3 of the WC have been in the subcontinent, and a couple happened early season than late season when spinners prosper more, I don't think it is THAT surprising, even though I agree it is still rather pathetic.
