The Group C game between New Zealand and Kenya showed the pointlessness of having minnows mixed in with grossly superior countries.
The game was over in 45 minutes. Okay, possibly longer than that, but if so then not by much. Kenya bowled out for 73 in 17 overs. It took NZ less than 8 overs to beat them.

Fox Sports 3. Just watching the end of the Scotland innings against Pakistan. Last over of the game.
Australia's match starts in just over an hour but it's too late for me, I'll tape it on iQ and watch it in the morning.

The Australian selectors should be shot. They have no idea of the differences between Twenty20 and the 50 over version of the game, they also keep selecting too many players based on past performances rather than recent form. The only decent selections they made batting wise were Hodge and Symmonds.
Ponting stuffed up by electing to bat first. They should have sent Zimbabwe in, they may have imploded trying to set a high score for Australia. Instead Zimbabwe went in to bat with a small total to chase. Brett Lee is a good bowler but he is way too expensive.
Now Australia must beat England in order to progress through to the Super 8 stage.

The win against England last night ensures Australia go through to the Super 8's that start tomorrow night.
Australia's Super 8 games are as follows:
Sunday 16/9 at 10pm (AEST) vs Bangladesh
Tuesday 18/9 at 10pm (AEST) vs Pakistan
Thursday 20/9 at 6pm vs Sri Lanka

Australia's chances of making it thru to the semis rely on them not losing against Sri Lanka tonight, game starts at 6pm.
If Australia win, draw or there's no result due to rain then Australia will play in the semis on Saturday night.

im watching the aussie game atm. lee and braken are spot on 11-2 after 2.3 overs.
foxtel gave me a scare when i had no signal for about 2 mins
no ponting will put some real pressure on hodge or clarke or who ever takes his spot
as i type lee just got another wicket
go aussie!

Great innings in the field by the Aussies. Sri Lanka bowled out for 101.
If Australia win this and Pakistan lose to Bangladesh then we'll play in the semi at 9pm on Saturday night. If Pakistan win then we play at 2am Sunday morning.

come on pakis, lose for us
outstanding bowling and fielding display minus a few errors (hogeys miss held catch but it was a hard one, and watson just let a ball slip past) i doubt that the aussies r gonna take this match lightly on the batting side even thou they should.
well done to clark as top wicket taker so far in the series

Is anyone planning on going to any of the 20/20 games played over here during the summer?
Boxing Day I am going,without a doubt,but the 20/20 games I'm not so sure about.I'm not sure if I'm crazy on the concept and what it's merit is.
