Aussie openers put on 133 !

It seems that the Kiwis are no match for the Kangaroos. After bowling out NZ for 206, Aussie openers went on a rampage.

Brad Haddin and Watson put on 133 for the first wicket. Now they are both gone and Aussies are 149/2 /

Those who are fed up with Australian dominance are now beginning to wonder whether the Goliath may ever fall !

Shabik fell in the other match, stunning DB. Now they are 97/4 ! A good innings by Tamim came to an end when he was caught Porterfield off Botha !

Aussies have now progressed to 167/3. Ponting was stumped by McCullum off Southee. ( The TV in the dressing room, we hope, is hidden ! ).

This risk which they have taken, of banking on the pace trio, had paid off and this will be the Kangaroo trump card in the days to come !

BD are now 117/4 against a spirited Ireland. Ireland is putting in hard work to become a Test playing nation and they beat Pak in the last WC.

Meanwhile, Bollinger has been ruled out of the WC due to injury. His replacement has not been announced.

BCCI has told the media to keep off Team India.

"The members of the media are requested to refrain from constantly contacting the members of the Indian Cricket Team on phone/SMS for interviews/bytes as players would like to concentrate on the ongoing World Cup matches," Srinivasan, the BCCI secretary said.
