New Zealand had a shocker. Scoring only 219/7. A total Sri Lanka made for the loss of six wickets with 29 balls to spare. New Zealands batting and bowling left alot to be desired.
Next game Australia play Ireland.

200?...........Richie Benaud.......using a "pen" n key board.
........"a bright sunny day here in Afghanistan, the pitch seems to be one that would suit the seamers...........
The opening batsman for Norfolk Island marks out his block.......
Its Glen McGwhatever to open the bowling for AusZealand.....he takes his customary one step delivery ........and its fended to the off side.....where Ricky "Wheels" Ponting Jnr takes a marvelous catch. Glen has certainly picked up where Shane.......for those of you who are not cricket "nuts"....snicker.........that would be the English Prime Minister, Shane "Text" Warne.........as I was saying....that Leggie from Glen certainly had the chinaman thinking about a googly.......and it seems rockets have stopped.....

South Africa have made into the semifinals after they crushed England by nine wickets with over thirty overs to spare. England made only 154.
Unless something strange happens Sri Lanka and New Zealand will be one of the semifinal games. Australia will play South Africa in the other.
Only four super eight games left. Ireland play Sri Lanka tonight.

Even I'll admit that there have been too many "nothing" games. Also in my opinion there should be two matches not one per day in super eights. The world cup has gone on too long even for someone who loves the game as much as I do.
West Indies beat Bangladesh by 99 runs after making 230/5.
Tonight Australia play New Zealand. The result means nothing but for confidence going into the semifinals.

Australia have annihilated New Zealand by 215 runs. Australia made 348/6
It's the kind of performance from New Zealand that got it nicknamed Fleming's lemmings not long ago.
Tonight West Indies play England in a match that means nothing.
