Top Performer - Murali Kartik
Tweak of the week
The best-ever figures for a left-arm spinner in one-day cricket, Man of the Match in a tight game against Australia, pressed into service in Twenty20 cricket - life's looking good for Murali Kartik at the moment. But it almost wasn't
Top Performer - Paul Harris
Spinning magic
Although Paul Harris managed only 11 wickets in his first four Tests, a hugely successful tour of Pakistan earned him another 12 in only two Tests and allowed him to outshine his much-publicised team-mates
Top Performer - Andrew Symonds
The return of the king
The numbers that Symonds has put up are frightening. In 120 matches since that O Henry twist in 2003, he averages 47.11 while scoring at close to a run a ball. Toss in 80 wickets, 50 often spectacular catches, and innumerable run-outs, and you have perhaps the most complete one-day performer since a certain IVA Richards roamed the playing fields.
