ICC Cricket World Cup 2015

South Africa have just wacked a massive 408-5 against the West Indies.
A B De Villiers hit the fastest 150 runs ever. 30 runs in the last over.
He now has the record of scoring the the fastest 50, 100 and now the 150 ever.

West Indies to bat.

Australia will be watching them very closely I wonder?

ODIs - Most runs conceded in a single bowler's 10 overs.

I still think (sadly)that Australia are the team to beat.SA need to get rid of the chokers tag in this tournament and they have already been beaten

Shock in the New Zealand v Australia match. Australia batting 1st have slumped from 80-1 to 124-9.

Still 24 over to bat

Useless for my World Cup fantasy cricket team .
Seriously need Starc and Johnson to demolish the New Zealand batting order now.
Nought all out in 10 balls will do .

What a match this turned out to be! New Zealand won by 1 wicket in a low scoring thriller. Only 55.3 overs were bowled in the match but I don't think the paying spectators will be feeling short changed. Boult took 5/27 for New Zealand but Starc did even better for Australia with 6/28. Incidentally in a low scoring match Johnson's bowling figures were 0/68 off 6 overs.

I believe that the 151 all out by Australia was the lowest 50 over score made in match featuring Australia.

The previous lowest score was against them was made by England

Coincidentally West Indies were also bowled out for 151 and they lost to South Africa by a whopping 257 runs. Even 151 was a recovery, as they had been 63/7.

I'm hoping not to watch the babes tonight.
I'm hoping that tonight's match against Sri Lanka is an exciting affair...
I'm hoping that England can put one over on the team with the most experience batsman & bowlers in the world...

But it's just a hope..

Knowing this England team I'll probably end up watch the babeshows by 11pm
