Player of the Tournament
So far, the player of the tournament for me has been :
Dwayne Smith (WI) for a wonderful all round performance - 32 off 15 balls and then taking 3 for 36 - against Pakistan.
Running close: Ricky Ponting (Aus) for his first century of this world cup.
Hi Abhijit, Yes I heard about the catch - I wish I could see the matches, but unfortunately I am currently in the US on a short term visit and unable to enjoy cricket on TV that you guys can do in India. Heavy dependency on Cricinfo. :-(
A captain's dream all round performance from Smith!!
Although Ricky Ponting has been one of my most admired batsmen in cricket and i was more or less certain he would get a century or 2 in the first 2 Aussie games, i am not very sure of his form.. Watched 20 minutes of his batting the other day... He didnt look great to me... But, Ricky, being Ricky, is capable of a steady big score even when the going isnt sweet...
You know what? I admire Ponting's batting but dislike his attitude. And I think he must be one of the world's most disliked cricketers. I think he doesnt have the humility in him which makes us see more the human side of him than the cricketer.
On a sunny day, to sit on the grass under cool shade of a tree sipping lemonade and watching 2 talented teams in their whites playing Test Cricket on the green grass - That is life!

Yes. Agreed. The best catch is the one which Bravo held.
