After tonight's Bangladesh vs Ireland encounter the Round 1 of WC ended.Every team has atleast played a match.Starting from INDIA,it has opened its WC campaign in style.Shewag and Kohli sparked for India.Sachin in good touch.Batting line up is balanced.Zaheer and Munaf bowled well.Bhajji showed his relibility.It does not seem INDIA has a problem.It will be interesting to see whether Dhoni pick Piyush or Nehra at the typical spin- friendly Bengaluru pitch.PROTEAS,my favorite No. 2 played aganist WI and earned a easy win.Imran Tahir, the debutant leggie bowled really well and got figure 10-1-41-4.Smith opened the bowling with Johan Botha and played with 5 specialist spinners.Amla and Kallis got out quickly but AB scored a ton.AB was struggling aganist India but he was batting agressively at Delhi.SA really a strong contender of WC.Australia thrashed the Kiwis by 7 wickets today.Oz,the only team relying on seamer heavily.The trio of Lee-Tait-Johnson was out standing.Kreja untested against tough opponents.Openers striking well but the Aussies WC dream mostly depend upon their ability to play aganist quality spin.West Indies has performed poorly.They have not a balanced side.They mainly rely on their batsmans to score big as their bowling has no much variation.The Blackcaps are not set yet and they are a average side this time.Bangladesh beat the Irish team tonight.Netherlands played really well aganists England but lack of experience cost them. Pakistan,Srilanka and England has played aganist weaker teams,so we have to wait for some days for their potentials.
