who will be the highest runs scorer in this world cup ???

[Blaze 18]

Tendulkar.

 

[xanderbiscuits]

my money says sangakkara

not because I think he's the most likely to, but because I got the right odds

 

[Himannv]

Depends on how far their team goes, whether players will be rested against minnows etc.

Ditto.

If I have to put money on it I'd probably go for Amla. Now that he's back in form and all I wouldn't really rule Dhoni out either.

 

[Himannv]

My shirts on Amla and my pants on Tendulkar. hmm I'd give my socks to Harby. Hanging onto my undies for the moment though. I'll save it for the womens world cup.

you will need a bra for that

 

[Howe_zat]

Could it be a bowler? Of all of them the only one I can really entertain doing it is Abdul Razzaq.

 

[salman85]

Ahmed Shahzad.

You heard it here first.

[King Pietersen]

Pietersen. 'Nuff said.

 

[Prad100w]

Watch out for Virat Kohli. He is gonna make his mark in this WC.

 

[Blaze 18]

...if he plays.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Twatto has to be the smart pick: opens, form of his life, team likely to be in at the business end of the tournament...

KP the dark horse with his promotion to opening tho.

In some ways the format doesn't actually aid the better sides though as anyone from the best 8 sides should get 7 games out of a maximum of 9.

yeah the super six was better than these knock out ruonds..... cuz when it comes to quarter finals and onwards .... on lucky upset and the better team is out of the tournament

You only have one extra knock-out round, though, compared to previous tournaments. To really follow through on that idea, you should probably get rid of the semi-finals and final as well and just have another round-robin between the 8 teams. Team with most points at the end wins. It would probably be fairer but it makes for bad TV.

The argument for the present format would be that performing under pressure is part of being a good side and that unlucky losses don't happen to good sides. Not sure I completely agree with this view but it does have some validity. And it is how every other world cup is run.
