Lehmann and Symmo are racing through the overs. Seventeen gone and Holland are 4/63. Boof's getting through overs in less than a minute and a half! He has two wickets.

Yeah, Dave. That was it. I remember the sour look on Kepler's face! Lol.

Holland all out for 122 in 30.2 overs. de Leede top scored with 24.

Bichel took 3/13 from 5 and Harvey , 3/25 from 4.2. Earlier, Dizzy took 2/7 from 3 overs and Boofa bowled just about the quickest 8 over spell (about 11 minutes!) in the history of the WC, for 2/27.

Martyn scored 67 n.o. - and won Man of the Match - and Lehmann, hit 29 n.o.

The World Cup is compromised a bit in that New Zealand did forfeit tonight game to Kenya and lost all four points. There is a chance that New Zealand could miss out due to this. Seems very harsh and unfair. No doubt the ICC committee will travel to Kenya and stay there?? NOT

Also a trash team like Zimbabwe could go to next phase due to winning games by default.

What a joke...

South Africa trounced Bangladesh by 10 wickets.

The Bangers were dismissed in 35.1 overs for 108 with Mashud scoring 29 and Mahmud, 23. Ntini took 4/24 from 7.1 overs, Pollock boeled very miserly for 2/8 from 6 and Hall took 2/15 from 6.

The Proteas polished off the runs in 12 overs with Kirsten scoring a whirlwind 52 in 32 balls and Gibbs, 49 in 40.

Stunning performance by Engaaaaarlannnnnd!!!!!!!! Thrashing Pakistan by over 100 runs with only some lusty hitting by Akhtar saving face.

England now have a realistic chance of making through to the next round despite forfeiting against Zimbabwe. Unfortunately this could still cost them a spot in the next round.

South Africa always at their best when playing a weaker country.....lol lol

Pakistan thus far must be the great disappointment of the tournament so far. Their batting has been disappointing for quite some time now. The bowling is ok at times.

However their World Cup Final arrives early when they play India. The stakes are high for both teams. No doubt there will be riots in the country of the team that loses. Promises to be a hrd fought affair.
