World Cup Winners: Australia
"Big 8" side to perform most poorly: Pakistan
Player with most runs: Kumar Sangakarra/Ricky Ponting
Player with best strike-rate: Mahendra Singh Dhoni
Player with biggest score of tournament: Ponting, 170+ in the semi's, or final.
Bowler with most wickets: Shane Bond
Bowler with best economy rate: Shaun Pollock
Bowler with best performance of tournament: Shane Bond - taking an 8-fer when NZ are in a real need of it after making a <180 score
Tournament's emerging player: Robin Uthappa, Ross Taylor, Liam Plunkett & Shane Watson (forgot to add bowles)
Most disappointing player: Makhaya Ntini
Surprise package (Team):England - They'll come a helluva lot closer to making the Semi's than many think IMO.
Biggest disappointment: The bowlers are going to cop an absolute pasting in the majority of the games. Spin bowlers especially.
