New records made in this world cup

[Athlai]

Not exactly a record per se, but after the game against Ireland, I think Umesh Yadav was leading the list with the most catches this WC for fielders.. Very very weird that a bowler, that too an Indian fast bowler, is leading that particular list... :P

Needs four more.

yeah but that is comparing across WCs.. I just meant it was hilarious that he is leading the catches chart for non-wicketkeepers in this WC itself.. Guess he has been fielding fine leg/deep square leg a lot and batsmen have been hooking or pulling balls straight down his throat but it is still funny that he, of all the fielders around in this WC, would be topping this chart.

That's in a single World Cup, not across.

Australia v Afghanistan had the biggest margin of victory in a World Cup match, and the highest total in a World Cup match.

yeah sorry.. wrong choice of words there.. I meant to say in the context of just this WC, not taking into account every WC...
