ICC Cricket World Cup 2015

STATS AND TRIVIA

Australia have won their previous two matches at Eden Park, back in 2010, but in 2005 they lost a high-scoring encounter when New Zealand chased down 337 with eight balls to spare. Taylor made 117, which remains his highest score against Australia, and McCullum hit the winning runs.

Clash of the trans-Tasman Titans

When good neighbours become good friends. Perhaps not on Saturday at Eden Park when New Zealand and Australia renew a rivalry which, in one-day cricket, has been in hibernation apart from at global tournaments since 2010.

The art of Amla

It was an exhibition match in England against amateur cricketers. As expected, the pitch wasn't the best, and the bowler didn't have too much pace either.

Sri Lanka in search of convincing performance

Bangladesh are a point above Sri Lanka and although the World Cup is still at a very early stage, it is hard to imagine both sides envisioning themselves in their respective positions after their first two matches.

Happy to be upset

There are two ways of looking at an upset. You can take a mischievous joy in it: revelling in the way the traditional order is set on its head and mere anarchy is loosed upon the world. Or you can find it profoundly distressing: as if the safe world you live in had lost its senses.

Associates' fight, who to succeed?

While others - the likes of Morgan and Joyce and Rankin - have flirted with England, William Porterfield has remained an almost ever-present figure in Ireland's rise in international cricket. His country's top run-scorer in both ODI and T20I cricket, he could yet become Ireland's first Test captain.

Porterfield attacks ICC mentality

Ireland's captain William Porterfield has not yet signed the petition for the retention of a 14-team World Cup, but based on his rhetoric at the Gabba on Tuesday, that can only be a matter of time.

Ireland, UAE seek to keep shop window open

Ireland and the UAE represent two sides of the Associate coin. The Irish have emerged as the tightest unit outside the Full Members, many of their players fully professional via the English system, and their record at ICC events conspicuous for its gallantry. The UAE are a little more problematic, having never won a World Cup match in two appearances 19 years apart, their ranks occupied by journeymen amateurs of largely subcontinental origin.
