That article kinda lost it for me with a factual error in the first paragraph: stating that India are "odds on favourites" for the tournament. I think the author has no idea what odds on favourites actually means; and while India are favourites, I have not seen one odds sheet (and don't think I will) that has India odds on.

I've just colated the responses from the prediction survey. There were 13 respondents although not every question was answered on all. Where someone has sat on the fence and offered up multiple choices, I've only included the first answer given.

The favourites for the categories according to results are [only listed results with multiple votes] (# of votes)

Winner: India (4) New Zealand (4), South Africa (2)

Last place: Scotland (10), Netherlands (2)

Aggregate Runscorer: Ross Taylor (4), AB De Villiers( 2)

Highest Innings: Gayle (3), Brendon McCullum (2)

Fastest 50: Albie Morkel (2) Warner (2) Sehwag (2)

Most Wickets: Malinga (4), Vettori (2)

Most Economical Bowler
: Vettori (5), Malinga (2) Mendis (2)

Best Match Bowling Figures: Vettori (2) Umar Gul (2) Mendis (2)

Most Runouts: AB De Villiers (5)

Most Spectacular Catch: Paul Collingwood (5), AB De Villiers (3)

Best Young Player: Suresh Raina (6), Rohit Sharma (2)

Best Older Player: Sanath Jayasuriya (3) Kallis (3), Ponting (2)

Best Player: Ross Taylor (5), JP Duminy (2)

Biggest Flop: Yuvraj (2) Kevin Peterson (2)


When the tournament is over I'll count up who got the most correct categories and they can win a prize (I was thinking maybe a warm applause).

I haven't decided how to judge the subjective categories (specky catch, old player, young player, flop) maybe an independant judge would like to volounteer?

cheers :)

best over 33 player: Symonds (sent home)
Player of the tournament: Symonds (sent home)

Furball

Evil Scotsman
Winner: South Africa - nope, still not a bad shout
Last Place finisher: Scotland - called it
total run scorer: AB de Villiers - 5th, started off well before fading
highest individual innings: Kevin Pietersen - not even close
fastest fifty: Shahid Afridi - not sure, reckon it must have been AB vs Scotland
Most wickets: Lasith Malinga - joint 2nd, 1 wicket away
Most economical bowler: Johan Botha - not even close
Best match bowling figures: Umar Gul - correct
Most runouts: Pakistan to choke and have a collective brain explosion when needing 5 to win from the last 3 overs - nope
most spectacular catch: Suliemann Benn. It will be spectacular purely on the basis that he actually manages to catch it. - can't recall him catching it
First batsman to bleed on the pitch: Jacques Kallis. He'll have a nosebleed at scoring at a SR greater than 110.
best under 23 player: Rohit Sharma
best over 33 player: Jacques Kallis
Player of the tournament: AB de Villiers
biggest flop: Sri Lanka - whoops
random event: Ireland will have India 6 or 7 down for not very much chasing a modest total. Dhoni will get a reprieve before calmly guiding India home with 3 balls to spare.
Pretty unspectacular.
