Kayes gets a nomination for most consistent player if nothing else.

Usually MotS is announced before the final.

Apart from in every Tournament that's been so far you mean?

 

[BigBrother]

Sanga

Not after that innings against SA he isn't.

It was the case in 96 and 99.

Maxwell gets in the conversation now I feel.. Starc probably the favorite now though.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

If (big if) NZ wins the WC I reckon Corey Anderson could be a dark horse - key player for NZ

Gary Ballance to win this award IMO.

No it wasn't. Don't know about 96 but definitely wasn't in 99.

 

[halba]

starc, maxwell, boult, southee,shami all in contention, if they provide tournament winning performances as they've been matchwinners in group stages.

 

[honestbharani]

Think it was in 2003 when they had some kind of a points system and Sachin basically had an unbeatable lead going into the finals..

 

[halba]

guptill?

 

[SuperMurali]

guppy is definitely a chance now. Back to back centuries, both should be match winning. one more good performance and he could get this

 

[ankitj]

No it wasn't. Don't know about 96 but definitely wasn't in 99.

I remember there were basically speculations in 96. If Australia wins, it would be Mark Waugh. If Sri Lanka wins, it would be Jayasuriya. Eventually Jayasuriya won it, but frankly it should have been De Silva.

Yeah, that was very neat and objective. In every match, they would pick top 3 players who would get 3, 2 and 1 points. At the end, one with most points won MOTS.

Jayasuriya got announced MotS before the final, and since Klusener didn't even play the final, he probably did too.

Cribb is going to like this post if he sees it. Thats how things worked over in cricsim ages back iirc.

Boult more likely. Consistent throughout. Guptill just turned it on in the last 2 games.

No. Was during the presentation after the final. Like always.

Don't reember the rest but Yuvraj was announced as the MotS while the final was underway. Maybe 6-7 overs before the end I think.

That was the formal presentation, it was known before.
