Sanath Jayasuriya remains the most valuable player (MVP) after Day 22. He faces the challenge of retaining his top place in today's match against England.
There are a few surprises in the MVP list: no one expected two hard-working New Zealand all-rounders like Scott Styris and Jacob Oram to be so high up. No one expected Chris Gayle to be # 52 and Shaun Pollock to be # 54 either.
A lot of things could still change; there are 19 more matches to be played in World Cup 2007.

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 fielder is an equal participant in a run out dismissal.
Here's the Chernoff gallery of the top nine Super Eight players after Day 22.
Recall that batsmen have round faces and a short and wide nose. They smile more when they score more runs (see "Hayden").
Bowlers have tapered faces, big ears and a tall and thin nose. Bowlers have bigger ears if they take more wickets (see "Malinga").
Fielders who take a lot of catches have wide eyebrows (see "McCullum" in the image below), and those that participate in run out dismissals have bigger eyes (see "Pollock").
All-rounders have both batsmen's and bowler's features. Batting all-rounders have more batsmen's features (see "Jayasuriya").
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.
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.
And finally, here are the faces of the nine most successful fielders in the Super Eight (fielding points | run outs / catches / stumpings.
We end off by looking at the names of players who have topped the MVP list from days 1-22. Jayasuriya is the only Sri Lankan on this list that is dominated by Australians and South Africans.
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.
