Even a knock of 111 wasn't enough for Scott Styris to unseat Sanath Jayasuriya from the most valuable player (MVP) position after Day 29 of the 2007 World Cup (perhaps because he took 159 balls to get these runs, and failed to get wickets).
Jayasuriya had another good day scoring 64 in 80 balls and bowling his full quota of 10 overs.
Today Jayasuriya must face Matthew Hayden's challenge as Australia play Ireland.
Chaminda Vaas climbed (30 � 19) after another brilliant spell of 9-2-33-3. Muttiah Muralitharan too is steadily climbing (19 � 12) after his figures of 10-0-32-3.

The Chernoff gallery of the top nine Super Eight players after Day 29 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 (Styris is smiling more widely today).
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.
