Have Ireland won more games at this World Cup than England?
"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. That's why I succeed." -Michael Jordan

Not a bad knock by De Villiers last night. 162 off 66 balls. The bloke's a freak. Clearly the world's best batsman.

Think it was more about bowling a full length with slight movement in the air from the bits I saw. Many wickets were from yorkers and it still amazes me these deliveries arent bowled more often than they are in any format of the game.

Glad yesterday was a rest day, it's hard keeping up with the blistering pace this tournament is moving in.

I didn't think Zimbabwe would chase down 331 but they're getting very close.

I think England can win it.
Beat Bangladesh and Afghanistan and the make the quarters.
In the quarters they play India who they've just beaten twice
They then get SA in the semis and we all know how they choke.
Then the final against NZ and they're only good at home.

That's the only part of my plan that could go awry. Rain tomorrow could see us not win the tournament because of rain in Brisbane.
