Glenn McGrath established a new Cricket World Cup record for the most wickets (26) and also finished his ODI career with the most wickets in World Cup history (71).[6] The number of sixes in the overall tournament (373) was 40% higher than the previous record holder, the 2003 Cricket World Cup (266).[7] The tournament also saw 32 century partnerships (previous record of 28 during the 1996 Cricket World Cup)[8] and 10 batsmen over 400 runs (previous record of 4 during the 2003 Cricket World Cup).[9]
