Spend 10 years on this forum discussing how only WC Final and semi-final counts . Then don't include the only cricketer who has century in both these matches in your list .

Another killer stat. This is TOTAB's WC record.

Batting records | One-Day Internationals | Cricinfo Statsguru | ESPNcricinfo.com

Averaging 18 odd with a solitary 50 in 24 innings.

The sole half century came against guess who, Zimbabwe.

Sachin 65 , 83 and 85 WC semi finals

Didn't you notice this time that Burgey doesn't like to chat about semifinals in CW?

 

[harsh.ag]

The dismissal on that 65 was so cruel

 

[trundler]

Was that the Mark Waugh stumping?

That was couple of matches ago. Cruel as well, but not crueler than the semifinal. :'(

Good shout. Could open in an AT XI with Gilly.

 

[mr_mister]

17 lists and rising

 

[Pap Finn Keighl]

17 lists and rising

17 or 170
Top 4 is fixed

Viv , Sachin , Kohli and ABDV

 

[mr_mister]

Appears that way yes

 

[Burgey]

Awesome. 3/30 off four, and Viv is 28 not out.

 

[aussie tragic]

Awesome. 3/30 off four, and Viv is 28 not out.

It's okay, Ponting will come in at 5 to join Viv

 

[Burgey]

Thank goodness. Might have something to bowl to.

 

[trundler]

But then Dhoni would suck all momentum from the innings.

 

[marc71178]

DoG you’ve literally got as your top three blokes who’ve tanked massively in WC KOs.

Not to mention the uber-tanker at 5.

 

[h_hurricane]

Thank goodness. Might have something to bowl to.

Throw Tendulkar,Kohli,Viv,Ponting and Devilliers up against a quartet of Mcgrath,Gilmour,Ambrose and Boult. Only the greater AB will cross double figures.

 

[Burgey]

Gus Gilmour! An incredible blast from the past here from h_h
