Man of the Tournament?

Athlai

Not Terrible
Not over yet but we have to do something to pass the time before the match.

So who are the contenders?

Ponting 287 @ 95.66 SR 79.28
Vettori 100 @ 50 SR 104.16 7 W @ 17.71 economy 3.97
Watto 160 @ 53.33 SR 98.76 6 W @ 16.83 economy 4.26

One of them I'd say.

Watto's been consistently good with the ball but has only come good with the bat in the last game, so I doubt it'll be him. I don't think Ponting's really failed yet, and since I'm backing Australia to win, I'll say he'll get it, but it's pretty close. Whoever gets it out of Ponting or Vettori will probably depend on which team wins.

If any one of those three put in a big performance today, I reckon they have to get it.

I do like the all-rounders because that's something that the big sides that got knocked out didn't really seem to have to me, but Ponting has also been outstanding.

Punter's SR is probably below where you'd normally expect because I notice that he passed Smith last game and he had over 200 runs with a SR of over 100.

Vettori will probably get it if NZ wins and he performs reasonably well because of his captaincy and the underdog status etc. If Australia wins it will be out of Punter, Watson or maybe a bolter such as a Johnson if he performed with both bat and ball.

It depends on how today goes. But on the tournament so far, Vettori. Not even close for mine.

If Elliot gets a score tonight or even takes a few wickets, he's an outside chance.

Ponting all the way..............the way he batted against England was pure class........

Watto was brutal with the bat too.......but i am more of a conservative...Ponting was pure class.

Getting hard to look past Watto now. Match-winning big ones in both the semi and the final.

If you're MOTM in the semi and the final, surely you have to win it?

Although, they don't like to give two awards to the same person usually.

After this game i switch to Watto............1 ton in a Semi and one here....both match winning knocks.....he deserves it more then Ponting now.

After the final, Watto is the easy pick and he has fair claim to being the best ODI player in the world at the moment.
