Clinical performance from New Zealand. This is what you call a team win; everyone chipped in and contributed. 4 bowlers got 2 wickets each while batsmen scored runs. The opening match is a clear indication of the fact that South Asian teams will struggle in this world cup. Sri Lanka never looked threatening; the inclement weather coupled with the pacy wicket and home crowd proved too much for them. The 98 run defeat will also have a significant impact on the net run rate. Personally, I'm happy because I want Sri Lanka to lose matches by big margins as Tigers are targeting them to qualify for next round!

One thing I have understood from today's matches is
The team which wins the toss loses the match or the team which wins the toss and opt to bowl loses.

John Arlott had written about it in 1948 at the end of a successful tour of England by Don Bradman's men. ""Australianism," wrote Arlott, "means single-minded determination to win - to win within the laws but, if necessary, to the last limit within them. It means where the 'impossible' is within the realm of what the human body can do, there are Australians who believe that they can do it - and who have succeeded often enough to make us wonder if anything is impossible to them. It means they have never lost a match - particularly a Test match - until the last run is scored or their last wicket down."

I am amazed to see such overwhelming support for a foreign country like Australia from a person whose country has won the 1992 world cup in the same venue as this world cup! Don't you think you should back your country? :p

So you don't believe Pakistan has any chance of winning the trophy this year, right? What if Pakistan faces Australia in the knockout stage? What will you do? :p
