Although I disagree with seeding, it hasn't ended up as a total cluster**** and procession to the quarters.

No one's suggesting Mahela belongs to this thread though

Which is probably a travesty considering he's scored a century each in a World cup semifinal and final.

Mahela was terrible in ODIs in general, but always showed up in big games.

Haha, got run out vs. India too which was hilarious.

Mahela made 21 runs from 58 balls at an average of 3.00 in that same World Cup. Inzy wasn't even the worst player in that World Cup.

Keith Arthurton made 2 runs in 5 innings in the '96 WC.

Nathan Astle -5 ducks in World Cups from 22 games (only one century - 1st game against England in 96). Only averaged 20 at CWCs.

say it with me. j-a-y-a-s-u-r-i-y-a

 

[mr_mister]

Only 2 aren't complete demolition jobs - and all 4 potential winners of those 2 close matches are gonna get steamrolled next round.


sad

 

[mr_mister]

Klusener/Watson/Freddie all decent shout for mega deep runs in the ODI All-rounders one i'll be doing next week

 

[Spark]

Is there a need to keep the brackets? Could just re-randomise after each round.

 

[mr_mister]

^interesting idea. thoughts on this?

(i think people are scared of Viv/ABVD meeting somewhere other than the final)

 

[G.I.Joe]

We've already had Sachin v Dhoni in round 1. Why start gaming the match ups now?

 

[mr_mister]

After Dhoni's performance over the summer I'll say he's lucky to even be here
