LANCE Klusener, who took South Africa within a run of the World Cup final and received four man of the match awards, was named the player of the tournament on Sunday. The soft-spoken Natalian was asked to stay behind to watch the final, won by Australia, when his team-mates returned. Klusener finished as the top scoring batsman (with 140.5) and his heavyweight bat and cavalier approach earned him the top sixes hitter in the first two rounds, with nine over the boundary strikes. Klusener’s 17 wickets placed him fourth in the top bowling order. His 5 for 21 against Kenya on May 26 at Amstelveen was the second highest bowling average, behind Australian Glenn McGrath’s 5 for 14 against the West Indies six days earlier in Manchester.
