Cricket World Cup 2007 is upon us. The carribbean sets up a very special stage for the world's most exciting cricketing event this year.
The West Indian batsmen were cautious and beligerent at the same time, with
Marlon Samuels, Dwayne Smith and Dwayne Bravo kicking off an aggressive start to their world cup. Then when Pakistan batted, they bowled and fielded like champions to register their first win of the world cup with much more to come I suppose. Dwayne smith was man of the match with a fast knock and 3 wickets 2 of which were Yousuf and Inzi.
We haven't seen a very one-sided game just as yet, except the trouncing of Scotland by Australia by 203 runs which should have been around 40 runs less, if not for the last two overs when Brad Hogg and Watson went berserk. Scotland bowlers had very good deliveries coming once in 10 overs and taking wickets too.. they were wavered otherwise. The stumping of Hussey was especially impressive.
Ponting was the king with a win and 100 odd runs under his belt.
Kenya's Steve Tikolo gave nothing away as a captain, bowler, batsman to the Canadians who looked like they needed some inspiration of some sort to get going. Dhaniram's quick hit helped them to score 199, but he was involved in one runout too many. Kenya got there easily with capt. Tikolo scoring 70 odd runs.
