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! |

well on a bright note, we still qualified eh? Memories of the last ashes come flooding back. With a point to prove, they absolutley demolished us. |

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. |
