WC '11 | 5 Players to Watch out for..

[pakroyals]

5 men to lookout for in the world cup, who can demolish opposition in 10 overs-
Shane Watson
Yousuf Pathan
Kieron Pollard
Abdul Razzaq
Cameron White

Except for Shane Watson, its hard to imagine anyone of them being consistent through out the series..

5 bowlers who can take 2-3 wickets in quick succession
Morney Morkel
Saeed Ajmal
Ajantha Mendis (those who haven't faced him yet are susceptible)
Shoaib Akhtar
Dale Steyn

[Sanchez]

Bowlers : Malinga & Gul
Batsmen : Dilshan & Sehwag

[Wised up]

No Gayle Sehwag and Dilshan? They should be there. Malinga as well.


Don't think Akhtar can change a match within a few overs anymore.
Anjantha Mendis is no more a threat.

[Ironcat]

0. Ashocka De Silva

[sazz]

I would add Gayle and Bret Lee to this list.

[NJamal]

Batsmen

Sehwag
Gayle
Dilshan
Afridi
Morgan
Amla


Bowlers

Gul
Malinga
Steyn
Swann
Lee

[Wised up]

oh yeah I forgot Swann. He definitely is a threat.

[kkmix]

Kamran Akmal
Umar Akmal
Wahab Riaz
Suresh Raina
Ijaz Butt

Men to watch out for, for fixing reasons

I agree that all those batsmen will be the most watched and followed players during the world cup.

I dont think that the list of bowlers you provide would have the same impact. Ajmal, Shoaib and Mendis are not the bowlers who will be making any impact. Ajmal is not even playing for his own country in the NZ series, I am not sure what makes you think that he will be playing in the world cup. Mendis is not the same guy as he once was and same goes for Shoaib Akhtar. Morkel and Steyn are two top class bowlers in the world and they would be a huge role to play for SA.

[cricnut]

Shoaib Akhtar? Well in the recent times he has been hit to all corners of the field by Ordinary Batsmen like Guptill and Ryder , dont think he has anything to offer to the side anymore since he is past his prime .

[AfghanCricketFan]

Amla is the man

[FusedBulb]

The most dangerous cricketer in world right now is ,,,,,,, Angelo Mathews.

He is dangerous for the spectators at the ground, they will need their crash hats.

[Newton_fan]

Amla
Sachin
Zaheer
Razzaq
Sanga

[Rana]

Razzaq is being rated quite highly for once.

This is it buddy, go and win it and be remembred as the legend you deserve to be!

[rsk]

Yuvi
afridi
pathan
umar akmal
white

[ebikhan]

I don't think Abdul Razzaq would be that dangerous in this world. Niether Shoaib Akthar or Saeed Ajmal. Pakistan has no chance to make into semis. Pakistan would be really lucky if they win those 3 games but I don't think there is a any chance.

[in_cutter]

Amla
Yusuf Pathan
Watson

Sir john, you are one of my five dangerous 'posters' to watch out for at the wc.

[rsk]

bowlers-
Ishant sharma
praveen kumar
Nehra
Piyush chawla

HEHEHEHEHEHEHHE

[Free Hit]

oh man this is gay..........

Abdul razzaq will be devastating on Saturday night and Wednesday morning, depending if he had a good sleep

Yousuf pathan will be successful if he has a ding dom in his mouth and india is 200 runs behind and scorecard reads like 100-6

Hashim Amla will be succesful if the pitch is bowler friendly, moving around and spinning alot.

Watson will be successful if australia is chasing, and he went for 5 overs 63 runs. meaning he is really angry

Tendulkar will be successful throughout the tournament like he always has been, and in scenario like India has always has been

Sahibzada Shahid Khan Afridi will be successful in the Semi Final and Final- Big Man, Big Game, its a Bombay Night...who cares

1. Watson
2. Mathews
3. Amla
4. Swan
5. Yuviral
6. Shakib
7. Kallis
8. Razzaq
9. Tendulkar
10. Pietersen
11. Lee
12. Gayle

Lol, 3 of out of the 10 players here are Pakistanis. And there are lots of names missed out for example ; Swann,Gayle,Sehwag, KP etc.

[Sir john]

ok

[Pakistani93]

Mohammed Hafeez
Abdul Razzaq
Hashim Amla
Tamim Iqbal
Ricky Ponting

[Markhor]

Hashim Amla
Kieron Pollard
Yusuf Pathan
Tamim Iqbal
Eoin Morgan

Pollard especially will be dangerous on sub-continent wickets,he is a very big hitter,definitely one to watch.

[Atif]

Umar Akmal
Shahid Afridi
Umar Gul
Shoaib Akhtar
Kamran Akmal

[alberto]

wahab riaz will be the most surprising performer of the world cup for pakistan!!!!!!!!!!

[alberto]

wahab is the true entertainer with bat and ball!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[iZeeshan]

My 5?

Angelo Matthews, Cameron White, Yusuf Pathan, Eoin Morgan, Hashim Amla

I discluded Pakistani players because I'm going to be watching out for all of them. The only one I think would really make this list I think is Umar Gul because he really can change a game within a few overs if it's his day. Or possibly Shoaib Akthar. I know he's struggling now, but it's his last world cup and I just feel that he's going to be very, very special.

Me too, i named those five, because i dont really care what other teams do in WC, only bothered about Pakistan.

But dont get me wrong would love to see 2 teams, other than Pakistan to get knocked out.
