Should have added a category for-
Maths is my second language aka Shawn Pollock award(first team to miscalculate Duckworth lewis), but I don't think there is any rain predicted?
You would think some of the matches particularly in NZ was will call on Duckworth Lewis.
I was in South Africa for the 2003 World Cup. We were driving back to Joburg to catch a plane home when Pollock stuffed up. Local commentators went nuts. Boucher blocking the last ball was so great to hear!
Only have themselves to blame for the whole tournament. Against the WI they had them gone but they stuck to the rule that the opening spell for each fast bowler was 6 overs then 2 in the middle and 2 at the end. Pollock was all over them, particularly Lara, but took himself off which helped Lara. They had the WI around 3/75 off 25 overs, then Lara cut loose and they ended up making 270-odd. WI scored 8 an over from final 25 overs, this was pre T20 when scoring wasn't exactly that high either over that length of period. They simply stuck to their structures so much that their inflexibility stopped them from being a real #1 nation.
