England beat Kenya and are through to the super 8's. We didn't see this match because we were busy watching the Australia-SA match. We are happy that England got through - somebody has to give Ireland and Bangladesh hope for a win in the Super 8's. England team has a very subcontinental trait of being able to lose to anyone on any given day and beating anyone on any given day.
Happy days are ahead for cricket fans rooting for the weaker teams.

Kenya Vs New Zealand, Group C
To no one's surprise, New Zealand were able to beat Kenya easily. New Zealand made 331 batting first and the match was out of Kenya's reach. Kenya were all out for 183. New Zealand has to be feeling good about themselves. They have good depth and are well balanced. The only negative from their point of view are the injuries.
Styris and McMillan are in great form, Oram is destructive in the middle order, in Shane Bond, they have a genuine wicket taker, Vettori is a good spinner, and Fleming and Taylor at the top give them solidity. Coming off from 3 great victories against Australia, they are legitimate contenders for the world cup.

Canada Vs Kenya, Group C
Kenya beats Canada. Easily. Without breaking a sweat. Handily. Do you want to know how, my dear readers? Because you read our blog, we will tell you what you might have discovered for yourself if you had happened to glance at the scorecard.
The Kenyans have the awesome power of "O" with them and hence they are untouchable when they play other minnows. What is this magnificent power of "O", you ask? Why, it's: Odoyo, Ongondo, Odhiambo, Obuya (two of them!), Ouma, and Ogonji Tikolo.
That's a lot of O's in a team. The other vowels must be very jealous.
Bangladesh and now Kenya, have the best chance of pulling off an upset. England, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, and India are very capable of playing shambolic cricket. If any of those 4 teams have a bad day, Kenya and Bangladesh can beat them. Easily. Without breaking a sweat. Handily. For our sanity's sake we hope it's Kenya that does all the upsetting.
