Ireland v Australia

Glenn McGrath was top player for an unprecedented 3rd time in this World Cup, taking 3 wickets for next to nothing as Ireland were massacred. All 11 Irish players had a negative contribution while 10 Australians had a positive contribution and Michael Clarke didn't bat, bowl or take part in any dismissals. McGrath pulls a massive 8 points clear in the MVP standings, is he unstoppable? Porterfield reclaims bottom spot in the batting standings as Hussey disappears from the bottom 10.
