With just a few days to go before the start of the tenth World Cup we cannot pin-point a favourite as yet. With the tedious long-drawn format this is as open as it could be.

It was a tough task to pick five of his gems from the 49 but Ganesh Venkat of CW has picked his favorite five – here is the list in chronological order.
