Stan AF Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Among most run scorers (not counting Gordon greenidge from 40 years back), only Hayden in 2007 ended up winning the trophy. Interesting. Teams would rather have multiple batsmen stepping up from time to time. Link to comment

Unless a wildcard enters the picture. I think Kohli, Root are favorites while Smith has max probability of shining in SF/F. Martin Crowe was incredible. Strike rate of 90+ and average of 114 way back in 1992. Incredible even by today's standards. Gollum, philcric and Nikola 1 2 Link to comment

Stan AF Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 @SK_IH Just a general observation. I thought it would be more but it is just 2/11. SK_IH 1 Link to comment

Expectations of the Aussie public too is far different from that of India population with crores of them placing huge expectations.So Smith can play with a completely blank mind with nothing to lose attitude.Hence I don't know what you are trying to convey. You make some good points, but I believe there is pressure on Smith to do well in the wc, especially after the incident to justify his inclusion in the team. Also, we don't know how the public expectations of Aussies are. Guess we'll have to agree to disagree. Link to comment
Stan AF Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 @SK_IH 50 for Root. A thread for captains, coming??? Link to comment
I6MTW Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Roots main issue is failing to convert starts, 50s into 100s etc. He still hasn't solved that issue. Even in tests. Link to comment

SK_IH Posted May 31, 2019 Author Share Posted May 31, 2019 (edited) Root to me didnt look the outstanding player he is touted to be, getting out on 50s is not gonna get him far in this competition of batting supremacy Edited May 31, 2019 by SK_IH Link to comment

Stan AF Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Root First WC 100 in this WC and among the big 4. Coming in at a high pressure chase. Link to comment
SK_IH Posted June 3, 2019 Author Share Posted June 3, 2019 Good knock from Root but not good enough. Link to comment
Haarkarjeetgaye Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Steven Smith should rule this list follows by Root. Link to comment
Pandya_Power Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Not sur one of these will end up as the highest run getter this WC - purely because the dynamics of the ODI batting has changed so much afetr the last WC. The best bat in the team is often not the highest scorer these days. But the relative performance among the 4 should throw light on who's best when the pressure is on. I'd bet on either Smith or Kohli. Haarkarjeetgaye 1 Link to comment
Deleted_User_1 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 This is where Sachin shined. He had a phenomenal WC in 2003 and great ones in 1996 and 2011. Even in 1999 and 1992 he had average ones. The only one where he failed abjectly was 2007 but the whole team took an early exit there. It is time for Kohli to step up on the biggest stage when it counts. He has already stamped his name as one of the greats in ODI, but he needs a WC 1986 Maradona like performance to take him to the top. He does not have that yet. 30 years old means he is in his prime as a batsman. Stan AF 1 Link to comment
