Super 8, Match 7, NZ vs BAN: New Zealand not going to take Bangladesh lightly
Apr 02, 2007
Seeking to clinch a World Cup semifinal berth, New Zealand is not going to take minnows Bangladesh lightly when the two sides face against each other in the Super Eight Series match at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua on Monday.
New Zealand's runway seven-wicket victory over host West Indies has it well placed in the race for a semifinal spot. But skipper Stephen Fleming has warned that complacency against Bangladesh and Ireland, the two unfancied teams in the Super 8s, could prove expensive.
After beating New Zealand in the warm up game ahead of the World Cup, Bangladesh then beat India in the preliminary group, a result that knocked the 2003 finalist out in the first round and secured Bangladesh its biggest World Cup moment.
World champion Australia outplayed Bangladesh by 10 wickets in a rain-marred match Saturday, leaving the sub continental nation and Ireland as the only ones without any point in the Super 8s competition.
Having carried two points from the preliminary round win over England, Stephen Fleming's team now has four points and is looking to boost it to eights from fixtures against Bangladesh and Ireland.
Eight points should be enough to take a team into the semifinals, but Fleming wants to be doubly sure by having a minimum of 10. New Zealand has never featured in the World Cup's title round.
But it has qualified for the semifinal four times in the previous eight tournaments - the last one being 1999.
New Zealand is seeking to place one foot inside the semifinals before it moves into tougher games against other semifinal contenders - Sri Lanka, South Africa and Australia. Coach John Bracewell wants the Black Caps to tread carefully.

The 2009 ICC World Twenty20 is a Twenty20 cricket tournament scheduled to take place in England in June of 2009. It will be the second World Twenty20 and will consist of 12 teams, contested by all Test-playing nations plus qualifiers (Ireland, Netherlands and Scotland)
The Champions Twenty20 League, formed with the official sanction of ICC will kick off in October 2008. Eight domestic teams from four nations will participate. Cricket Australia will partner the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and Cricket South Africa (CSA). The champion team in the Champions Twenty20 league will get US $5 million, which is the highest ever prize money for a cricket event.
The 2007 Cricket World Cup was hosted by the West Indies from March 11 to April 28, 2007. It was contested by 16 nations.
The ten Test Match-playing countries qualified for the World Cup automatically, along with Kenya, which had ODI status and five further teams qualified via the 2005 ICC Trophy. The field of sixteen teams was the largest ever for the Cricket World Cup.
The teams were divided into 4 groups, with each group playing its matches at one ground.
The top two teams from each group competed in a Super 8 format, similar to the previous "Super 6" format, from which the semi-finalists were decided. Australia, New Zealand, Sri Lanka and South Africa won through to the semi-finals, with Australia defeating Sri Lanka in the final to win their third consecutive World Cup.
There were 51 matches overall, spread over eight venues across the West Indies, which were selected to host the World Cup final tournament.
Notable events of the tournament included the death of Bob Woolmer, the Pakistan coach, which happened one day after his team's defeat to Ireland, which put them out of the running for the World Cup. India scored 413-5 in 50 overs against Bermuda, breaking the World Cup record for the highest team total. Herschelle Gibbs hit six sixes in one Daan van Bunge over for South Africa against the Netherlands, becoming the first player to achieve the feat in ODI cricket. Australia became the first team to win 3 consecutive World Cups.
I fully expect us to win every game we play, it doesn't matter what the make-up of the team is. Ricky Ponting, Australian skipper.
Is this a resignation issue? I'll have to talk with my superiors on that. former New Zealand captain and Match referee Jeff Crowe on the blunder by him and the umpires which
caused the farcical scenes at the end of the World Cup final.
I guess it was nice to finish off with a catch behind with Gilly. McGrath on Gilchrist catching Arnold to give him his last ODI wicket. He is the tournament's leading wicket-taker
with a record haul of 25 wickets and the most successful World Cup bowler of all-time.
It was really pleasing to do it on an important day. I've been getting a lot of starts but hadn't converted. Adam Gilchrist who smashed a final record 149 off 104 balls to set up the
victory.
It was simply a brilliant innings from Gilchrist, unfortunately I was the opposition captain watching it. Sri Lanka captain Mahela Jayawardene about Adam Gilchrist's 149 off just
104 balls.
My learned commentary is, my commentary is congratulations to Ricky and the boys, but to Glenn McGrath, that lanky bloke from Narromine, thanks for a wonderful contribution to Australian cricket. Prime Minister "cricket tragic" John Howard.
We listen to criticism, and there has been a lot of it from people saying it's been too long - so we'll look to make it shorter. ICC chief executive Malcolm Speed.
