Friday
There have been a lot of games over the weekend which means
that a lot of games have actual value and some have no value whatsoever.
West Indies Gale and Narine battle as they get Australia’s
178 in final over. Darren Sammy produced the most epic of cameos to give the West
Indies a good chance in this match. Australia’s 178 was quite a big score and
seemed to have the match sewn up and the West Indees needing a small miracle as
they needed 31 of the last 2 over’s. But Sammy smashed Michel Stark for 19 in
the penultimate over and sealed the win with successive sixes.
An impressive India stroll into the semi finals of the
cricket world cup as Kola and Rani get half centuries
R Ashwin gatecrashes Amit Mishras party as Indea assured
themselves a pot in the world cup semi finals. Bangledesh got 138 their highest
total in the group phase. Rohit Sharma and |Virat Kohi being the stars of the

Saturday
The Netherlands
showed what they could do in this match against New Zealand Brendan Mc Cullen
helped himself to a 65 of 45 balls on this big day for New Zealand. They
knocked off an impressive Dutch target of 152 with 6 balls to spare winning by
6 wickets. You can not ignore the 29 from Kane Williamson and the help from
Ross Taylor. As the Netherlands went into bat first you did not see a good
number coming as Martin Guptill fell early. With Van Beck going early also the
Dutch seemed out before they started. The Cooper Boran partnership of 60m
helped the Dutch to take control of their own fate but the all blacks showed
why they were so good

shot and made them quality shots which took control of the match. Amla made 56

Sunday
Pakistans 50 run victory set up a play off against the West Indies
on Tuesday Shenzead hit a 99 a world
record as he kept hitting fours and sixes. Bangladesh had been fragile and had collapsed
during this world cup The Pakistan team thought that this would be a good confidence
builder and it was that easy. I would not look at the whole game as I feel that
the quality of one mans performance was so good
After securing a place in the semi final on Friday India got
top spot and some good momentum as they won all 4 of their group matches. Ravichandran
Ashwin took 4 wickets from 11 balls. Yuvaj Singh seems to be out of form but
his seem mats all seem to be on form around him but yesterday he put in a
quality performance. Yuvaj hit 60 of 43 balls. Rohit fell in the first over.
George Biley worked the bowlers around. Hodge was pulled through midwicket as
this brought the end to Australia’s challenge. Watson ended all Australian
