4 more days to go...

Here's something you guys might enjoy in the meanwhile: Longest 6 (home run) in cricket

143 meters/156 yards/470 feet. A monster hit even by baseball standards. The best part is the guy who hit the ball ( Brett Lee) is primarily in the side as a bowler (pitcher) and bats way down the batting order. He was also considered to be one of the fastest bowlers in the game. This is what he usually does with a ball in his hand - LINK

Really cool sport once you get used to the rules. Pretty easy to understand once you start watching.

Zimbabwe have looked impressive in their warmups (though don't read too much into warmups).

Bowled well against NZ - as good as anyone right now in ODIs - before the rain came. Then chased down Sri Lanka yesterday.

NZ stomping South Africa was incredibly impressive, even for a warm-up. Wouldn't shock me at all to see Australia vs NZ in the final. So dumb they are in the same group.
