Player of the tournament

[blahblahblah]

so who's already in line for the player of the tournament title?

i guess afridi has been doing it for Pakistan in each and every match

India hasn't played much to actually take name of any player from there.

 

[Jono]

AB Devilliers. Had a feeling pre-Cup that he'd be in with a real shot for player of the tournament and/or most runs.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

The way Afridi is going, it's probably going to be him, especially if he chips in with the bat.

 

[Shri]

Sachin Tendulkar, will score a **** load of runs and walk away with the award like in 2003.

 

[Teja.]

Tahir to win himself the cup and me, money.

 

[Howe_zat]

Right now, Strauss is both the leading run scorer and has the second-best innings of the tournament, he's leading this. I don't expect him to keep it up, though.

 

[Daemon]

I'm guessing AB Devilliers or Mitchell Johnson. Johnson's looked pretty sharp recently

 

[blahblahblah]

johnson got a real test tomorrow

 

[Noble One]

Shahid Afridi. Regardless of the quality of Canada, he bowled his team to victory in that game. His record is incredible so early in the tournament, and he does look in supurb bowling form. If Pakistan make it to the quarters he could have 20+ wickets by that stage, and you feel one decent batting performance will come in this tournament from him.

Whats the max number of wickets taken by a bowler in a WC?

McGrath 26 at the last one

 

[Maximus0723]

Gotta be Afridi.

14 wickets right? That's alot for only 3 games.

2nd, AB

 

[salman85]

Afridi.Yes i'm biased.

Even if it's not Afridi,i hope it's a bowler that gets the award.My guess would be one of Johnson or Malinga.

 

[andyc]

Watto

 

[Prince EWS]

John Davison easily at this point.

 

[jeevan]

With 2 fifties and a five-for, and easily India's 4th bowler ahead of the sad show of Sreesanth/Chawla - is Yuvraj the all-rounder of the tournament at this point?

None of the usual suspects - Kallis, Vettori, Shakib, Watto, Mathews - have done better than this in all around performance yet, though Afridi is the bowler to watch thus far.

(Of course the all-rounder of the tournament isn't going to be the player of the tournament. But waterboy has bowled his way back in a way few expected..)

 

[Sanz]

Ricky Ponting.

 

[GotSpin]

Gambhir

It'll be really interesting to see what happens if Afridi has another blinder against NZ.

Because if Pakistan were to say get knocked out in the quarters or semis, but Afridi was Godly up til that point, I wonder whether they'd give it to him?
