International Coach
With the World Cup coming to a close, we've seen enough to form our own Team(s) of the Tournament. Probably we can form a PlanetCricket Team of the Tournament based on the number of votes each player gets.
Here's mine:
Shikhar Dhawan, India: Gave India excellent starts and performed in the two most important group matches for India. Could've won the semis but threw it away.
Brendon McCullum, New Zealand: Constantly unsettled the opponents' best bowlers with his relentless aggressive batting.
Kumar Sangakkara, Sri Lanka: 4 consecutive centuries and the fact that he is still the top scorer despite quitting in the quarters says it all.
Brendon Taylor, Zimbabwe: Often fighting for a lost cause with little support, led from the front and put up excellent numbers.
Steven Smith, Australia: Having started quietly, has come to life in the latter stages of the tournament.
Glenn Maxwell, Australia: Gave massive boosts to the team in the death overs, often striking at rate of over 200 runs per 100 balls. Wowed the crowd with his outrageous shots too.
Corey Anderson, New Zealand: Has been a massive contributor to the Kiwis with the bat and ball. His knock against South Africa especially proved invaluable.
Mitchell Starc, Australia: Has led Australia's attack with aplomb, swinging the ball into the right hander as well as bowling pinpoint yorkers.
Trent Boult, New Zealand: Played a huge part in knocking other teams out with his pace and swing. Best bowler this tournament.
Mohammad Shami, India: Displayed a knack for wicket-taking, but also kept things quiet, with an economy rate of just under 5.
Imran Tahir, South Africa: Played a vital part for South Africa, controlling the middle overs with his stump-to-stump bowling and his extremely useful wrong 'un.
