The MVP table doesn't look very different today because yesterday's game between Ireland and Bangladesh involved two teams at the bottom of the Super Eights. If you look closely, however, you'll find four Irishmen in the top 50; yesterday there were only two.
Today's match between Sri Lanka and Australia will also feature a personal contest between Sanath Jayasuriya (1) and Matthew Hayden (2) for the top spot. Looking at the difference in their points, one expects Jayasuriya to retain his top position. Expect Ricky Ponting (17), Adam Gilchrist (19), Kumar Sangakkara (25) and Andrew Symonds (56) to climb. Symonds, in particular could have a very big jump.

Ct: Catches taken | St: Stumpings | Rc: Runs conceded | Bb: Balls bowled | W: Wickets taken | M: Matches played.*Run outs are counted as 1 for a direct hit, and 0.5 if the player is an equal participant in a run out dismissal.
The Chernoff gallery of the top nine Super Eight players after Day 32 appears below. The data below the face is in the following format: total runs / strike rate | wickets / economy rate.
Here are the faces of the nine highest scoring batsmen in the Super Eights (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. "Styris" , "Jayasuriya" and "Kallis" have taller noses, and faces that aren't so round -- because they are really bowling all-rounders.
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 (see "McCullum"), and those that participate in run out dismissals have bigger eyes.
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.
