I left out Bermuda, Scotland, Holland and Zim.

[Zunaid]

Vaughn and Bashar are long lost twins separated at birth. There, done.

[jabbar]

For all the haters of Graeme Smith, no one can doubt his contributions with the bat and the ball as well for that matter.

Best Captain: RIcky Ponting or Graeme Smith? Tough choice

[OZGOD]

I'm impressed with Tikolo. He's led from the front in Kenya's three matches. Canada were the minnow, but England and NZ are half-decent teams.

[Protic]

What? best captain.. in this world cup? Steve Tikolo.
Right on!

I'm not saying he's the best captain, but he's done pretty well for himself with his limited opportunities.

[Hatebreed]

Tikolo is a class act. He's just in the wrong team.

[Tigers_eye]

The headers of the table needs an adjustment. Else the stats are misleading.
Steve Tikolo is the bomb.

[stuge]

East or West Ricky is the best :\

Great Work OZGOD!

[Rabz]

Yap...Ponting and Smith is leading from the front..
and our Bashar is pushing from the back...

[Hatebreed]

" and our Bashar is pushing from the back..."

haha that's a nice way of putting it.

Pushing to forward is fine as long as he doesn't pull us behind.

[akabir77]

When will we have a captain who will instead putting us in deep deep trouble, will get us out of trouble like ricky...

Well Bahsar does that in test all the time, i guess ODI is not his cup of tea.

[allrounder]

Unfortunately Ponting is not getting a chance to increase his WC runs today against Ireland.

Lets see if Ponting comes to bat today. Symonds and Hussey will get to bat I think.

Unless Gilchrist and Hayden knock the runs off in a heartbeat. lol.
92. Can anyone get a 50? I don't think so. Both will end up with 40+ lol.

[allrounder]

Ireland should be able to get a wicket or 2. But it will not be Ponting coming to bat first down.
