I thought Adam Gilchrist was the Aussie wikie? If not it'll be interesting to see where he fields.

BBC have Haddin listed as keeper, but Gilchrist kept against NZ today. We'll see.

EDIT: Actually they just seem to have listed both keepers together in the squad. Nothing strange.

I must admit, I don't like the idea of the super eights personally. Why not just have a straight knockout from the top 2 in the four groups (i.e. A1 v C2, B1 v D2, C1 v A2 and D1 v B2) or something? The super eights are what dragged the world cup on, and on, and on, and on, and on IMO.

Zimbabwe beat Australia by 5 wickets, one hell of a result for Zimbabwe, and it means it's crucial that we beat Zimbabwe tomorrow.

Fabulous and well-deserved win.

I can see the scenario whereby all 3 teams in the group end up with 2 points. I guess it'd go down to net run rate then?

That would appear to be the case, but I cannot find a definitive answer anywhere.

The record for the fastest Twenty20 fifty has gone to Mohammad Ashraful of Bangladesh who mullered 55(!) off 20 balls. That is some hitting.

West Indies going home! And after a comfy win over Zimbabwe today, we can get the Aussies on an early Qantas too, if we beat them tomorrow!

Yeah, still qualified. Those extra 30 or so runs we got proved invaluable, because I really think the Aussies would have gone for a target of 100ish off 9.3 overs.
