I don't see why if a particular team wins or loses should affect who the Player of the Tournament is. It's an absolutely stupid way to go about it.
He should've won Player of the Tournament for the 50 over World Cup aswell as he was easily the best player.
I'm not all that sure about Shahid Afridi on MotM record, I've seen maybe one and a half really big performances from him, so for almost every other game he must have polled 1s.
I can understand if Yuvraj only has scored from a couple of matches, but Hayden scored 4 fifties to get 5 votes. He will probably be top scorer for the tournament and no hope for MotS.
Harrypotter_fan said:They don't decide MOTS by how many runs/wickets a player has scored/taken. It is decided by how many MoM awards a player has received. The 1st MoM gets 3 points, 2nd gets 2 points, and the 3rd gets 1 point. So they add up those points and the one with more points wins the MOTS award.
Good to see no one wants to argue that Hayden should've got it.
McGrath was great in the WC, he definitely deserved the honour.
As for the T20 WC, Yuvraj Singh was easily the best in my opinion, Hayden was good, but Yuvraj guided India to the win.
I don't really think it matters who makes the finals and who doesn't or it shouldn't be anyway.
It's the Player of the Tournament award not the Player of the Tournament outta whose team makes the final award.
