ICC World Cup Cricket Match 2007 First Semi Final

Sri Lanka vs New Zealand at Jamaica

First Semi Final, SL vs NZ: Murali spins Sri Lanka into World Cup final

Sri Lanka Cricket team New Zealand Cricket team Captain Mahela Jayawardenes maiden World Cup hundred (115)coupled with a mesmerising four for 31 by off spinner Muttiah Muralitharan powered Sri Lanka to an emphatic 81-run victory against New Zealand in the first semi-final at Jamaica on Tuesday.
A tremendous performance by the ever-reliant Muralitharan, who was on a hat-trick at one stage, ensured that the Kiwis, who were 105-2, lost momentum and within a blink of an eye, collapsed to 116-7. Tillakaratne Dilshans dismissal of Scott Styris (37) proved to be the turning point as the Black Caps simply succumbed to the occasion and lost way quickly.
The downward spiral left only a feeling of shock which then turned to gloom as was evident from skipper Stephen Fleming's posture in the dressing room. For Sri Lanka the victory ensured that they became the first team to reach the finals and would await the winner of the second semi-final between South Africa and Australia on April 25.

World Cup First Semi Final, Jamaica: Sri Lanka 289 for 5 beat New Zealand 208 all out by 81 runs



First Semi Final, SL vs NZ: Bond and Oram set to return for semi-finals

Sri Lanka Cricket team New Zealand Cricket team Fast bowler Shane Bond and giant all-rounder Jacob Oram are scheduled to return to the New Zealand side for Tuesday`s World Cup semi-final against Sri Lanka in Jamaica.
Bond, who missed his team`s 215-run hammering by Australia on Saturday with a stomach complaint, did not train on Saturday but Oram batted in the nets at the Grenada National Stadium. Oram, who was rested because of a bruised right heel, did not bowl but told reporters he would test his heel after the team arrived in Jamaica on Monday.
Their return has become a matter of urgency for the Kiwis after the mauling by Australia, the biggest one-day defeat in New Zealand history. Adroitly as Stephen Fleming juggled his slender bowling resources, nothing could disguise how much he missed Bond`s pace and skills and Oram`s bounce and accuracy.

2007 Tournament Format

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.

Bob Woolmer Murdered 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.

Cricket World Cup Quotes..

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.
