Player you will miss the most
As you all know quite a few players are retiring after this WC. They will all be missed. Who will you miss the MOST? (Pick ONE) And what will you miss about him the most?
Shoaib Akhtar. Flame and Colorful. Definitely the most scandalous player cricket ever faced. Cricket needed someone like that tbh, it was getting all boring with all chubby mama's boys around. But that also meant he wasn't able to concentrate fully on cricket, and use all his talents to max. Clearly he didn't achieve as much as he could have. Will miss him charging in almost all the way from the boundary rope and bowling those toe crushers.
(Going back a bit. 2007: There were too many good ones. Lara between McGrath. 2003: there were too many to pick from)

Tamim will turn into Akram Khan's size by than if not bigger. So they are all probably thinking he will be too fat to play.

Sri Lanka fast bowler Lasith Malinga said on Sunday that his World Cup career is over.
Quote:
“I hope to be of service to my team as long as I can, but I won’t be able to play in the next World Cup in 2015. I have been carrying injuries for the past few weeks and with little rest,” Malinga, 27, told state-run television.
The seamer with the distinctive slingshot style did not elaborate on his injuries, but a career-threatening right knee injury sidelined him in 2008 and in early 2009.
“I ask the youngsters to play well in the next World Cup,” he said after the team arrived from Mumbai on Sunday after losing the World Cup final to India by six wickets.
During Saturday’s final, Malinga’s trademark collection of yorkers and toe-crushers grabbed the wickets of Virender Sehwag, leg before for nought, and Sachin Tendulkar for 18, but he was unable to make further inroads into the powerful Indian batting line-up.
Malinga was the most successful Sri Lankan bowler on Saturday, ending the game with two wickets for 42 runs and 13 wickets for the tournament.
“I did what the team expected me to do,” said the seamer who has taken 127 wickets during his seven-year limited overs career spanning 84 games.
“I couldn’t bowl yorkers properly because the ball was too wet. It was difficult to swing the ball. I tried hard. I regret I couldn’t take more wickets.”
Malinga said he was happy to become the first bowler to claim two World Cup hat-tricks.
During the group match against Kenya, Malinga’s hat-trick victims were Tanmay Mishra, Peter Ongondo and Shem Ngoche. He next bowled Elijah Otieno to complete a four-wicket burst off six balls.
Against South Africa in the Caribbean four years ago, his hat-trick victims were Shaun Pollock, Andrew Hall and Jacques Kallis with Makhaya Ntini the fourth to fall.
Saturday’s loss was Sri Lanka’s second successive runners-up finish, having lost to Australia in 2007. They won their first and only World Cup in 1996.
