Cricket WC: Kiwis vs. the Aussies

[Paul Watson]

Anyone watching the Kiwis giving the Aussies a cricket lesson? :-D Australia are 103 for 7 after 34 overs. Adam Gilchrist lbw b Bond 18 Matthew Hayden c McCullum b Bond 1 Ricky Ponting c Fleming b Bond 6 Damien Martyn c McCullum b Bond 31 Darren Lehmann c Astle b Adams 4 Michael Bevan not out 30 Brad Hogg lbw b Bond 0 Ian Harvey b Bond 2 Andy Bichel not out 8 Go black caps! About the only team that somehow rattles Australia. Something about the Kiwis that gives the Aussies problems. Strange stuff.

Bevan and Bichel once again rescue Aus a little 195/8 (we are in last over). Same ground same story. I believe this time Aussies have no chance. NZ are my favorites to win the WC.

And the Kiwis will be hard pressed to match that last blast push Australia did in the end of their batting innings.

With Fleming out and NZ 102/6 now it seems that NZ is losing control. :(

What a match...Kiwis 108/9 Aussies will win this match convincingly.. I don't understand how Aussies recovered from 84/7 to 208/9.

[Rama Krishna Vavilala]

Aus wins by 96 runs. Now kiwis must beat India to get into semi-final and in that case SF would be b/w kiwis and Indians assuming Kenya doesnot defeat Zim.

Current rankings: Aus - 20, India - 16, Kenya - 10, Kiwis- 8, SL - 7.5, Zim - 3.5 I am assuming that Aus will thrash Kenya, so Aus - 24, India - 16, Kenya - 10, Kiwis- 8, SL - 7.5, Zim - 3.5 Other combinations: Zim bt SL & Ken and Ind bt Kiwis: Semis : Aus - 24 vs Kenya -10 India - 20 vs Zim - 11.5 Zim bt SL & Ken and Kiwis bt India: Semis : Aus - 24 vs Zim - 11.5 India - 16 vs Kiws - 12 Zim bt SL but lost to Ken and India bt Kiwis: Semis : Aus - 24 vs Kiwis - 8 India - 20 vs Kenya - 14 Zim bt SL but lost to Ken and Kiwis bt India : Semis : Aus - 24 vs Zim - 11.5 India - 16 vs Kiwis - 12 Zim lost to SL but bt Ken and India bt Kiwis: Semis : Aus - 24 vs Ken - 10 India - 20 vs SL - 11.5 Zim lost to SL but bt Ken and Kiwis bt India: Semis : Aus - 24 vs SL - 11.5 India - 16 vs Kiwis - 12 Zim lost to SL and Ken and India bt Kiwis: Semis : Aus - 24 vs SL - 11.5 India - 16 vs Kiwis - 12 Zim lost to SL and Ken and Kiwis bt India: Semis : Aus - 24 vs SL - 11.5 India - 20 vs Kenya - 14 :zzz:...

Bottom Line, Pray that Kenya defeats Zim. Than we can play with Kenya in SF.
