World Cup 2003 records
Wisden CricInfo staff - September 12, 2002
Most runs
As emphatic as it gets - Sachin Tendulkar is over 200 runs ahead.
Most wickets
Chaminda Vaas leads the way for this - or any - World Cup.
Highest scores
Craig Wishart had the misfortune to blast 172 not out on the day Andy Flower and Henry Olonga did something which will be recalled for decades.
Best bowling
Glenn McGrath's surgical dismantling of Namibia leads the way.
Most catches
Runs, catches ... and he even walks. What else can Adam Gilchrist do?
Highest strike rate (batsmen)
John Davison only makes the bronze-medal position.
Lowest strike rate (batsmen)
Maybe strike rate isn't that important: Michael Bevan is one of the slowest.
Best economy rate
At least one Englishman can look back with pride.
Worst economy rate
It hasn't been a tournament to remember for Nicholas Ifill.
Best strike rate (bowlers)
Everyone expected a blond legspinner to lead the way - but he wasn't meant to be Dutch.
Worst strike rate (bowlers)
Thankfully Andrew Symonds is delivering with the bat.
Best allrounders (batting average – bowling average)
For a reserve seamer, Andy Bichel makes a mean allrounder.
