Player of the World Cup?

For the same reason that all other foul language is censored.

Attempts at circumventing the swear filter do not go down well either.

"Boll ocks" is a word of Anglo Saxon origin, meaning testicles in British English and in Hiberno-English. The word is often used figuratively, most commonly as a noun to mean "nonsense" or as an expletive following a minor accident or misfortune, but also in a number of other ways: as an adjective to mean "poor quality" or "useless", as a noun to mean "top quality" or "perfection" (e.g., "That bike is the dog's boll ocks!"), and in various compound expressions (see below). Owing to its versatility, boll ocks has been called the Swiss Army knife of andrological profanities, in that it is the most versatile word in the English language.

Has anyone seen a player of the tournament points table anywhere? I just read that Mcgrath is on 12 points leading the tournament by 2 points from Styris yet they didn't display a table......

Originally posted by Migara Actually what I saw it was McGrath leading with 15 points with Styris 2nd at 9, and Kallis at 3rd. Pure ****py table that allows McGrath over Styris and Kallis and Hayden for that matter!

I meant a official table that we can access online somewhere, not one that you saw on tv done by commentators.

yeah i think hayden and kallis head to head over batting hayden will prob win that, but wickets will be a close one mcgrath and muli

Why will Hayden get it? Your bias is unbelievable. I think Kallis deserves it, he has had an amazing touranment and has done more for SA than Hayden has done for Australia.

If your going to pick a player ahead of another because they're in an unbeaten team then your going to have to rub your eyes.

 Steady on lads , you can argue until the cows come home and it's still just your own opinions.
     Personally I don't give a rat's bum about man of the match/series awards , cricket is a team game.
   

 Wow!!!!  Are you saying that the losers of a semifinal are gone????  Blimey , there's more to this knockout format than I imagined.

   Thanks so much for enlightening me. 

 But does it really matter?  I have never given creedence to the award , to me it's pointless.

Originally posted by Ricky Ponting it not about who "deserves" it the most its how many runs they score!hayden is just behind kallis and if Aus beat sa in the semis hayden will have another match when kallis won't.

Are you smoking cornflakes?

It IS about who deserves it the most. It is NOT about who scores the most runs or takes the most wicket. Tendulkar in 2003 was an exception - he scored the most runs but definetly deserved the award. In 1999, Klusener didn't score the most runs or take the most wickets, but with the amount of matches he almost single-handedly won, who can argue that he deserved the award? In 1996, Jayasuriya was way off being the top run scorer, but again the impact he had on the the games he played in and the effect he had on the results fully warranted his award.

I agree with Hedonism, its given to the person who has the most impact upon shaping the tournament in his teams favour.

I'll say Mohammad Yousuf for his exceptional swing and pace bowling and astonishing average...
