Aussie March Continues

The Aussies continue their relentless march towards the semi-finals, casting aside opponents with consummate ease.

England threatened to post a reasonable score to give the Aussies their first real challenge, but then predictably threw away a strong position and posted a below par total, before one had time to get excited.

It looked to be a fairly tight contest in the beginning but the Aussies were always in control and ready to put the foot on the accelerator if required. Ponting again played a captains knock and Symonds came in at the end to win the match with some trademark powerhouse hitting and romp home.

This Aussie team is a well tuned outfit, focused on the job at hand and at the moment are miles apart from the rest of the pack. This tournament is crying out for someone to beat the Aussies, and stop them winning the competition for a third successive time. It would be good for the tournament and cricket in general. At this stage thou, they have more than half a grip on the trophy and only a brave person would bet against them winning. We can but hope!
