Winner: South Africa (this time its no fluking !)

Final: South Africa vs Australia

Highest individual Score: Hayden

Player of the Tournament: It will be a bowler no doubt...Muttiah Muralitharan?

Biggest Surprise(Player): hmmm.....lets say Zaheer Khan.

Biggest Flop(Player): Shaun Pollock (I just have this feeling he's going to be pasted ??)

Biggest Surprise(Team): England (They haven't been bad at ODI's at all !)

Biggest Flop(Team): India (I say this because of the air that the Indian batting order has created yet miserable against better bowling attacks) for a flop you have to be previously flying high....

I don't think you can call Sehwag a surprise anymore cause he's played 50+ ODI's & is well known to score big.

Its got to be more of a new player or someone who you wouldn't be expecting to make an impact.

But anyway, Sehwag it is.
