Who is the MVP in ODI cricket today?

[rodzilla1010]

Which player is the Most Valuable Player in the ODI's right now?

I guess it would be Ponting or Hussey atm.

i havnt voted yet but i think Polluck is the most effective ODI player today..his contribution with the ball is peerless and vert useful with the bat

 

[PhoenixFire]

No doubt, but Ponting is easily the best Batsman in the world at the moment, you just expect him to make runs every time he goes to the crease.

Bond because of he never gets injured./

my take on that is that if ponting fails hayden,gilli,hussey somone scores for Aus...

But notice one thing if you hit polluck for 6 runs an over that whole attack goes crazy..SA dpends way too much on 10/39/2 type bowling..and with an avg of 30, he is better than most middle order batmen in the world, not to forget his 80+ SR

Australia without Ponting still have lots of weapons. SA without Pollock are still excellent. SL without Murali are no where near what they are with him..

Depends what your interpretation of ''Most Valuable Player' is. It doesn't say 'Most crucial to team success', or anything like that.

Isn't that more 'valuable' means? How important you are to your team? Australia can lose Ponting and can still be great. SL cannot lose Murali and still be any good at all.

No, MVB is disragarding on the team a person plays in, or it should be.

MVB? Most Valuable Bastard?

i believe its a mixture of both...the players importance to the team should count but it shouldnt be the deciding factor....Most teams ussually play out murli's 10 and score 30-40 runs off him just void giving him Wkts...howeevr to deny polluck is more difficult in the ODI's,

 

[grecian]

Tendulkar, Flintoff, Afridi, Kallis, Ntini, KP, Asif. Think I'll vote "other", tbh.

 

[Corli]

I'd go for Pollock if he keeps bowling like he has this summer, it's been brilliant to watch. He is a very good number 8 batsman as well, as has been said. Good old Polly.

 

[jammay123]

has to be mr cricket for me

 

[Richard]

SL cannot lose Murali and still be any good at all.

I'd dispute that.

 

[Richard]

Bastard

I thought that was filtered...

 

[pup11]

Mike hussey is the undoubted choice because he has the ability to adapt in any sort of a situation, which is a hallmark of a great player.

 

[FRAZ]

Believe me or not ! It's Shoaib Akhtar !!!

 

[Perm]

Went for "other" because I feel Andrew Symonds is the MVP in limited overs cricket thesedays.
