The beginning of the World Cup promised much. A win over Pakistan in Kingston had the West Indies in raptures. Sabina Park was filled to capacity, and the West Indies fed off the energy. However, in less than four weeks, the host had all but crashed out. Where did it go wrong? Over to S. Ram Mahesh.
Crucial win for New Zealand The Kiwis took full advantage of winning the toss and sending South Africa in to bat on an overcast day. The conditions helped its seam bowlers to the hilt. SUPER EIGHT/IRELAND-BANGLADESH 
Ireland gains new statusIreland's formal status will change from a temporary ODI-playing nation to permanent, since it has beaten two Test-playing nations — Pakistan and Bangladesh. SUPER EIGHT/AUSTRALIA-IRELAND

SUPER EIGHT / ENGLAND - BANGLADESH England's great escape On paper England's victory with 31 balls remaining reads like a comfortable triumph, but the team will know just how close it came to suffering its first ever defeat to Bangladesh.

DAVIS CUP/QUARTERFINALS Russia's enviable record With the victory against France, Russia's unbeaten streak in Davis Cup at home, which began in 1995, continues.
Blatter banking on IndiaWhile acknowledging India's passion for cricket and tennis, the FIFA president believes that the nation could play a big role in enriching football, writes S. R. Suryanarayan.
