Australia down and out of the world cup 2011

It has been disappointing world cup campaign for Australians. They are 4 times champions and were defending the title but couldn't hold on it any more. There has been very ordinary and inconsistence performance by the players. They failed to bat well against the spinners and their own spinners could not perform up to the level. 

The loss against pakistan made a huge impact as if they would have won that game then their quarter final would have been against easier team west indies  . Brett Lee was the top performer for them but was not supported by others. After this loss there has been questions raised against Ponting's captaincy and I think he would be changed by someone more capable.
It has been end of an aura of Australian dominance in cricket we are likely to see a new team reaching top of the cricket.

The most awaited game of the world cup 2011 - India vs Australia

India vs Australia
It is going to be a crunch of a game. The most awaited game of the tournament. Both the teams are the big contenders of lifting the world cup trophy. Australia being 4 times world champion will give their all to stay in the tournament and keep the chances of winning it. On the other hand India is the team with good bunch of a match winners who can turn the game in their favor any moment.
Australia's strength is their fast bowling while India heavily relies on their strong batting line up. 
This game will be a decider for great players like Sachin Tendulkar and Ricky Ponting, who's team looses the player might not be seen on any future ODI's. 



Pakistan vs West Indies -1st quarter final
It was a dull game, pakistan out played west indies in all departments and they beat them very comprehensively and progressed to semi finals.
It wa sthe first quarter final of the world cup 2011. The toss was won by west indies and without any hesitation they elected to bat, but their batsman failed to give any impression as the team was all out on only 112. Chanderpaul was the top scorer with 44 not out, he was left on one side ran out of partners. Afridi picked up 4 wickets with hafeez and ajamal picked 2 wickets each.
In reply Pakistan easily chased down total and they won with 10 wickets. Hafeez made unbeaten 61 and he was declared man of the match for his all round performance.
