Wouldn't it be great to see the Sri Lankan left-arm seam-attack carving-up batsmen like stones?
Vaas 15 wickets @12.31, 2.82-an-over, Zoysa 12 wickets @ 18.45, 3.45-an-over. 'T'would be a thing..
Not to mention Pollock, Ntini, Nel, Kallis and Klusener tying batsmen in knots.
No better prospect than all 5 ending with ERs under 4. Not likely, sadly, either.
Best thing of all might be to see Lee getting hammered all over the park time and again. Though I'd settle for Sami, too.
And don't forget the Shoaib Akhtar express demolishing Tendulkar's stumps with the 1st ball of the game.
Anil Kumble putting the rest of the attack to shame, while Harbhajan and Pathan get hammered for 7-an-over and don't take a single wicket all tournament, Kumble doesn't even look like going for 4-an-over.
Shabbir Ahmed keeping his front-foot behind the popping-crease all tournament - if only.
Javed Omar rollicking out of his shell and totally defying the trend of all other matches at The Rose Bowl (average score 164) to hit the astonished West Indians to all corners, breaking the records of the onlooking John Davison and Saeed Anwar, and in the proccess striking a Beamer from Tino Best back so powerfully that the bowler is unable to get out of the way and takes a blow on the outer knee which puts his recovery back another 5 months. In reply, Chris Gayle and Brian Lara break Ganguly and Dravid's record for the highest ODI partnership, winning a thrilling game in the final over.
Tatenda Taibu leading Zimbabwe to a dignified 172 for 4 against England with 62*, then bowling 1 over for 1 as the Flintoff blows fly thick and fast. The clock could so easily have been turned back 4 years, 4 months and 5 days to Streak's superb, remote-controlled over that made Flintoff look oafish.
After dropping to four because of a slight side-strain, Stephen Fleming strokes his way to 176* against The US of A. Craig McMillan in a supporting knock adds 128*, earning himself a run in the number-three slot he has been denied for the previous 5 years.
US of A surprise some by keeping Australia to 282 for 2. Ponting reasserts his newfound valuing of his wicket regardless of circumstances - 122* is far better than 3 because you're trying for 250.
Maybe Gillespie turning-over New Zealand for 98, then Harris demolishing the reply after speeding to 52-1, taking 7-11 including a hat-trick of Martyn, Clarke and Symonds, all beaten for pace.
On Wed 22 Sep, 2 weeks after turning 19, Richard Dickinson confirms himself as the greatest upcoming writer on the game with an ingenious piece on the semi-final, spotting stuff others had not even begun to consider.
Finally, after injuries to every other bowler set the England camp to distraction, Mike Smith delys his retirement by 5 days to make his ODI debut and makes a passable impression of Vaas and Zoysa, bowling his 10 overs straight through for 33 and showing everyone why he should have been playing ODIs for the last 10 years. He goes into retirement happy ever after.. but he does wish he could have played Australia, with Matthew Elliott instead of Hayden and Graham Thorpe standing at slip as his 2nd ball takes the edge, flies high... and sticks in the palms as the delighted fielder falls to the ground and gets up, still clutching the white rock.
In the final, meanwhile, Andre Nel cements his reputation as the greatest talent The World has ever seen by taking 10-9-1-9 to dismiss the Pakistanis for 44. South Africa knock-off the runs in 0.5 overs, with Sami garnering figures of 0.5-0-50-0(12nb, 15w). Graeme Smith finishes the tournament by breaking the record for the fastest ever ODI half-century, and confirms his intention to lead his team to heights never yet achieved. It is a microcosm of his future dominance of the World Game which will cement his reputation as almost a quarter of the player Don Bradman was and all but as good as Sir George Headley. Sir Garfield Sobers praises Jacques Kallis, accurately, as having almost half the ability he possessed in his heyday and of being well clear of the next closest pretenders to his throne.

I hope Sachin bloody shuts every body up about his batting, and I hope Laxman shuts Alexkumar up, and I certainly hope Irfan Pathan shuts Richard up.
Yeah, Afridi is also one of my favourite players...
I think it will be Afridi and Inzi who will bring Pakistan so far.
Sami will also perform very well and will come back strongly after the Bangladesh match.
But first lets look at the Triangular Series in the Netherlands...

Player of the tournament may be one of Shaun Pollock, Lance Klusener, Jacques Kallis, Chris Cairns, Scott Styris, Jacob Oram, Andrew Flintoff, Virendra Sehwag, Abdul Razzaq (Pak), Chris Gayle, Adam Gilchrist, and all players who are good at more than one skill.
It may be a tournament for the power players- the express pace bowlers and the hard hitters.
