gattaca Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Good thread this Zelig. Shami is not getting his due here.
Guldozer Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Hmm...Leading wicket-taker in 2011 was Afridi not Zaheer due to Afridi's much superior average, as well as playing less matches. And the fact that he had so many dropped catches is another story.
GrandMasterSaxy Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Afridi is knows as a minnow basher for a reason Afridi ---------------------------- Kenya - 8-3-16-5 Canada - 10-0-23-5 Sri Lanka - 10-0-34-4 New Zealand - 10-0-55-1 Zim - 8-0-33-1 Aus - 9-0-34-1 West Indies-9.3-1-30-4 India - 10-0-45-0 Zaheer Khan --------------------------- Banladesh - 10-0-40-2 England - 10-0-64-3 Ireland - 9-1-30-3 South Africa - 10-0-43-1 Netherlands - 6.4-0-20-3 West Indies - 6-0-26-3 Australia - 10-0-53-2 Pakistan - 9.5-0-58-2 Sri Lanka - 10-3-60-2

bowl_out Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Shami or Starc, it will be... Depending on who makes the final :yess:
sage Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Boult is too far ahead. I don't see India getting many wickets against Australia even if we win
BlueBee Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Both Starc and Shami has played 6 games whereas Boult has played 8 games.
mhr123 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Both Starc and Shami has played 6 games whereas Boult has played 8 games. good Point :two_thumbs_up:

I'm pretty sure both the players got to play against minnows. Somebody still has to get the wickets, and if it wasn't for Afridi we would have lost against Canada. 2. Zaheer's best performance was 3-20 against Netherlands. Whereas Afridi had 4 4-fers. 2 against non-minnows. 3. Being a fast bowler, Zaheer got gifted a lot of wickets near the end of the match. In fact I remember that Zaheer's last wicket was caught on the boundary. 4. Afridi had dropped catches in the semi-final. 5. Even officially, It's Afridi. 6. Have a good day.
GrandMasterSaxy Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Lol the way u 'adjusted' Zaheer for 2011 :cantstop: Could you please throw some light on what you mean

Can Afridi do the same outside SC? Zaheer can do better.
tweaker Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Boult will be highest wicket taker with 23 wickets
Yamaha Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 This has been the World Cup of the Left-armers. Expect Boult to top the list at the end of the tourny, what a killer inswinger he has!

Zelig Posted March 25, 2015 Author Posted March 25, 2015 Lol the way u 'adjusted' Zaheer for 2011 :cantstop: I did mention T-Zaheer which means tied Zaheer. Same as Warne in 1999 (tied with Elliott). It is not Zaheer's fault if the Pakis dropped catches or played less number of matches. :om:
