8) The Big Upsets - Ireland beats West Indies/Bangladesh knocks England out
Ireland beat West Indies and England once again failed to turn up at the biggest stage and crashed out of the world cup after losing to minnows Bangladesh. It was one of those moments which would shine through the mist of all that's important and Bangladesh would have been proud to make it to the Quarters of such a big tournament for the first time ever.
9) Double Hundreds by Gayle and Guptill
This World Cup will be remembered for not one but for two double hundreds. Chris Gayle and Martin Guptill were welcome additions to what was an Indian's only club prior to their feat. Gayle stripped the ball naked with his hard hitting score of 215 and Guptill became the first international batsman to score a double hundred in the knockout game scoring 237 against West Indies.
It has been the batsmen dominated World Cup with over 460 sixes scored, more than 200 from its previous edition.
10) Dilshan's 6 fours in 6 balls off Johnson
Tillakaratne Dilshan showed that Sri Lanka would not go down without a fight by hitting Mitchell Johnson for six fours in the same over.
He hit him to all parts of the ground on the off and on side. If Johnson bowled short, he pulled and hooked to the leg side and cut square of the wicket on the off. If he bowled full, Dilshan drove him through the covers and the mid-off area with tremendous bat speed. Dilshan became the first man to hit 6 fours in an over in World Cup history.
11) Hat-tricks by Steven Finn and JP Duminy
Steven Finn became the first England bowler to take a hat-trick and eighth in World Cup history with wickets off the final three balls of Australia's innings in a 111-run defeat in Melbourne.
South African all-rounder JP Duminy became the first South African bowler and ninth overall to notch up a World Cup hat-trick, wrecking the Sri Lankans with his enterprising off-breaks in the mega-event's first quarterfinal.
He finished with the figures of three for 29 from his miserly nine overs -- one of which was a maiden.
