Cricket World Cup, Super 8: Australia humiliate yet another team
This rain-delayed 22 over match allowed Australia to dish out a good hiding in half the usual time, which was probably better for Bangladesh than spending all day watching their dignity being slowly pulled apart.
Bangladesh managed to use their batting time to allow Glenn McGrath to break another record, as with his three victims he became the highest wicket-taker in World Cup history. They ultimately reached 104-6 in their allotted overs.
In response Gilchrist and Hayden came out for the Aussies and treated the bowling like Bruce Lee's feet treated Han's face at the end of Enter The Dragon, clobbering 106 runs in only 83 balls. Their average strike rate of 127 served as an object lesson to the England joke shop of how to open the batting. [lee calvert]
