Following the Super Sixes, the 2003 World Cup says goodbye to two of its stars. Andy Flower, who has announced his international retirement, exits at 10th place in the PwC one-day ratings. Fittingly, this is the best one-day rating he ever achieved (though he did, of course, briefly top the PwC Test Ratings back in 2001).
Also leaving the tournament is Shane Bond, who has been the PwC rising star of the tournament. Like Flower, Bond climbed to 10th place in the current world list after the Super Sixes, a personal best.
Twelve of the top 20 players in the PwC lists will be appearing in the semi-finals (seven of them Australian).
