15th best average as it stands atm. Spare.
Would like to see his average normalized against the totals scored in the match.

Have a hunch that he has done well in matches that were relatively high-scoring, compared to the others.

The lack of Southee love is pretty laughable, imo.
Holy ****. Zaheer has taken 197 wickets in 5 overs for one run

Chose Zaheer Khan, partly because he has been very good and partly because it's not often that you can vote for an Indian fast bowler in such a poll in even half seriousness.

Selected Roach, Steyn and Southee. I also voted for Jackues Kallis due to the lol name.

Seems a bit pointless to be conducting this exercise at this point now.

It might be a bit early to have this poll but I thought it would be interesting to get people's opinions at this stage in the tournament where the group stages are about to finish.

Can the mods please correct Kallis's first name to Jacques.

I also included the likes of Nehra and Anderson despite their poor performance because otherwise a lot of people would be complaining about it.

Tsotsobe would walk into any team, unfortunately for him he is competing with Steyn, Morkel and Tahir.
