Explanation

In the 2007 ICC World Cup (West Indies), Australia's Matthew Hayden was the highest run-scorer with 657 runs at an astonishing average of 75.81. His powerful batting included a World Cup record of fastest century (off 66 balls). This was during Australia's dominant World Cup campaign where they remained undefeated. Mahela Jayawardene (Sri Lanka) had a great tournament but scored fewer runs, while Ricky Ponting (Australia's captain) and Scott Styris (New Zealand) were not the leading run-scorers that year.
