Today's match between Sri Lanka and New Zealand will feature five of the top ten most valuable players (MVP). Sanath Jayasuriya, in particular, faces the challenge of retaining his top spot. He should stay there unless he is dismissed early and someone like Scott Styris (3), or Shane Bond (7), has an outstanding game.
Syed Rasel of Bangladesh (39 -> 26) was helped by a marvellous bowling spell of 10-3-25-2. England's Sajid Mahmood (44 -> 27) too advanced after his figures of 8.2-0-27-3. Kevin Pietersen (8 -> 14) had a bad day scoring just 10 in 25 balls. Michael Vaughan's laboured 30 in 59 balls helped him move from 82 -> 81. He's getting better, isn't he?

The Chernoff gallery of the top nine Super Eight players after Day 28 appears below.
Here are the faces of the nine highest scoring batsmen in the Super Eight (total runs / scoring rate). If two players have scored the same number of runs, the player with the higher points appears first.
Recall that batsmen have round faces and a short and wide nose. They smile more when they score more runs.
Here are the faces of the nine highest wicket-taking bowlers in the Super Eight (wickets / no. of runs conceded per over). If two players have scored the same number of wickets, the player with the higher points appears first.
Bowlers have tapered faces, a tall and thin nose, and bigger ears if they take more wickets.
And, finally, here are the faces of the nine most successful fielders in the Super Eight (fielding points | run outs / catches / stumpings.
Fielders who take a lot of catches have wide eyebrows, and those that participate in run out dismissals have bigger eyes. Notice the large number of wicket-keepers in this list.
This list, the Chernoff faces and other charts have been prepared by my colleagues Debasish Ghosh and K Anil Kumar of Cranes Software International Limited using the SYSTAT software.
