Good effort. I believe we now have all WC the records covered between this thread and the threads created by superuploader.

Lol did not know that Gangully was such a big time player.

Lol did not know that Gangully was such a big time player.

There was a time that Ganguly could have been called the best ODI player in the world, but unfortunately Sachin Tendulkar was also playing at that time.

You make it sound like that was a bad thing for you.

Anyway, Sagacious, are you going to put in anymore WC records?

 

[sohum]

You make it sound like that was a bad thing for you.

Unfortunate for Dada, it was.

Interesting to see Sachin way ahead in WC runs. Surely Lara has played in as many World Cups, and he is now where to be seen on that list. It helps that Sachin has opened the innings a lot, but still that is a big gap he has there over anyone - not just Lara.

What a player!!!

Sorry, but I had too

 

[nightprowler10]

As much as I would hate for anybody to overtake Wasim, McGrath deserves it. Just look at that bowling average.

[Master Khan]

Glenn MaGrath beat Wasim Akram's record

 

[sohum]

I think Hayden and Ponting will be rewriting some of the batting records this tournament.

 

[nightprowler10]

Glenn MaGrath beat Wasim Akram's record

Couldn't have been broken by a better bowler.

5. 465 runs by Sourav Gangully (India) in 1996

That's incorrect, he didn't even play '96 World Cup.
