One more game to go, and even the most one-eyed England fan can't begrudge Mitchell Starc the new all-time record of 27 wickets in a single tournament; a tally that will be safe for at least four years now unless Archer or Ferguson manage to bowl out the entire opposition single-handedly on Sunday. Yet no one seems to want Tendulkar's record, with both Rohit and Warner choking at the final hurdle. The only realistic contenders now are Joe Root, who'd need at least 125 in the final, or Kane Williamson, who'd need 126; alternatively, 100 and 101 respectively would see them top the chart for this World Cup without breaking new ground.
