From 1/41 in the 7th over, Australia took 6/39 in the next 21 overs and 9/84 overall.
As the scores indicate, India were on 6 r.p.o. with their two most dangerous batsmen at the crease. This was a magnificent effort.
Just who underestimates Gillespie, JLC. I think you'll find the top batsmen of the world rate him highly.

You missed the point Donny. Im saying most of the headlines go to Warne and McGrath. That is fair enough as they are both champions at their craft. Lee also seems to be grabbing a lot of headlines after his good domestic one day series. Gilesppie just lets the ball do the talking and does his thing. Sometimes it easy to forget how good Gilesppie is. In any other bowling attack in the World (minus Sth Africa) he would be the front line spear head pace bowler.

No, m8, I let lots of yours go through to the keeper but not that one.
"Dizzy is the most under rated bowler in world cricket" That's the point I addressed and it's a gross overstatement.
Maybe YOU have underestimated Dizzy but you do that with quite a few of the other Aussies as well.

Well, here's a good WC story.
John Davison used to play for The Bushrangers and now plays for The Redbacks. That is up to when he got a call to play for Canada in the World Cup. He was born in British Columbia.
He's an off spinner who used to bat in the tail for Victoria. Tonight, he opened the batting for Canada and hit 31 from 32 balls with 2 sixes!!
They are now 3/49 after 12 overs against Kenya.

The Aussies cruised to a 9 wicket win with Hayden undefeated on 45 from 49 balls and Ponting, 24 from 24 (all 24 from the spinners, JLC).
Gilly made 48 from 61 before being stumped from Kumble's bowling.
The Turbanator was the most expensive Indian bowler, going for 49 from 7.2 overs.
Well played by the Aussies!

OK Donny you TELL ME who is the most UNDERRATED bowler in World Cricket.
Its pretty easy to pass judgement but i'll be interested to see who you think is.
Just for the record i don't underestimate Gilesspie if you actually bother to READ my posts. Gilesspie is one of my favourite cricketers and i doubt i would have said a bad word about him.

Kenya got home against Canada with 9 balls to spare in a good contest.
There were two excellent doubles in this game. Davison hit 31 in 32 balls and took 3/15 from 10 overs and Odoyo took 4/28 from 10 and was not out 27 to see his team to a win.
Canada scored 197 in 49 overs with Billcliff (71), Harris (31) and Davison (31), their best.
Kenya's main scorers were Shah (61), Tikolo 42 and Odoyo (27 n.o.)

"Dizzy is the most under rated bowler in world cricket" ... "i don't underestimate Gilesspie"
JLC, you wrote the first quote. You wrote the second quote. Clear contradiction. End of story.
I'm not interested enough to argue about who is or who isn't under rated, in this topic.

Aggressive bowling a winning formula for Ponting
Reuters - 15 February 2003
Australia captain Ricky Ponting said the way his fast bowlers bullied India into submission in their Group A match on Saturday was all part of a calculated plan.
With man-of-the-match Jason Gillespie, Brett Lee and Glenn McGrath all in top form, India were skittled for 125, their lowest-ever World Cup total, before Australia knocked off the runs required in only 22.2 overs.
"Bowling short of a length at them was a definite plan and it worked very well today," said Ponting.
"Their players had struggled on the recent tour of New Zealand and we wanted to continue with the way they had bowled to them, fairly short and aggressive.
"The tactic was designed to unsettle the batsmen and it did it fairly well as it didn't let any of their batsmen get away from us.
"At the same time, the tactic can also give you some dot balls to build pressure so it worked both ways and it was pleasing the way all the bowlers stuck to the plans today," he added.
With that strategy in mind, Ponting gave the new ball to Lee ahead of Gillespie and was rewarded with outstanding performances from both players.
Lee produced a hostile opening burst that yielded two for 17 before finishing with figures of three for 36, while Gillespie took three for 13, one of the most economical spells in World Cup history.
McGrath, meanwhile, was his usual miserly self with one for 23 in eight overs.
"India's weakness is sheer pace and bounce and if anyone will get that out of the wicket it will be Brett Lee," said Ponting.
"I wanted him to blast out a couple of their top order and he did that, which set us up from there.
"Glenn McGrath then bowled a couple of maidens in a row just as Jason Gillespie came on and we really tightened things up against them.
"The key is that our bowling line-up is flexible and we can use them all at different times and in different situations.
"It was great to see Jason, who has been a new ball bowler for so long, come on and do a fantastic job as first change. It says a lot about him and the way he has developed, and the same is true of the way Brett performed when he opened the bowling."
The win, which was cemented by a 100-run opening stand from Adam Gilchrist and Matthew Hayden, means Australia have cruised through their first two games of the tournament, matches that were expected to be their toughest in Group A.
With their remaining matches against the Netherlands, Zimbabwe, Namibia and England, Australia are hot favourites to qualify for the Super Six stage of the tournament unbeaten.
"We have played particularly well in these two matches (against Pakistan and India)," Ponting added.
"We knew they might be among our toughest so we geared ourselves up to making sure we were somewhere near our best for them.
"In 1999, we made a slow start and we spoke about not wanting to do that again so we focused on doing well in these two games.
"We have done that now but we can't take things easy, we have just got to keep working and improving."
Australia's next match is against the Netherlands in Potchefstroom on Thursday.

Does anyone think NZ can turn the tables on Sth Africa and win todays game? When the teams last met in Australia, South Africa dominated New Zealand.
Im hoping for New Zealand to win but they need to improve their batting.

Yes, NZ can win but they need to do everything right. Like get their batting lineup together. Fleming is due for a biggy and Astle should be his opening partner, not Vettori.
