So much for the Asian teams...

From a Pakistani point of view, not much to say except its amusing that none of the semi-finalists are from the Subcontinent. This aspect of the story has been covered often enough this past week. Barry Richards pretty much sums it up...

"These are delightful pitches the curators have made. I would give them all medals because they've brought the zip back into the One-day game. All batters, but especially those from India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, have failed in this acid test of technique and temperament. I've enjoyed watching them flinch in bowler-friendly conditions. Their inability to adjust has been shocking."

The semi's should be very interesting though. I think South Africa has a chance of beating Australia....
