Andrew Strauss
England
A natural-born leader whose authority has grown with responsibility,
Strauss is a cricketer transformed from the slightly one-dimensional
accumulator whose calm approach has been so invaluable in Test cricket
since his debut in 2004. Since returning to the one-day outfit in
April 2009, he has by his own admission enjoyed the opportunity to
bat with a new sense of freedom, as showcased by his tally of 14
sixes in his last 35 matches, compared with eight in 68 in his
previous incarnation. He has developed a priceless ability to
pushingalongcomfortabletempo.He’s
developed a more aggressive approach and a greater range of strokes
at the top of the order and is now a far greater threat to opposition
bowlers than he was at the last World Cup.
Peter Borren
Netherlands
Captain who never gives up and fights like a real Orange lion. Has
got a fantastic hand-eye coordination and will make an impact in
every game, with bat, bal or in the field. The chirpy leader of
the side, Peter Borren’s smart batting and bustling medium pace
make him the perfect utility player for a lesser World Cup team
like Netherlands. He backs himself for the crucial role of
finishing the innings from No. 6, where his quick running
and his ability to nurdle into space offers just the kind of
awkward irritation that defines his scrapping side.
