Sangakkara is the first player ever to score 100s in 4 consecutive ODIs.

Can someone clarify the run out rule please? I understand part of the bat must be grounded and over the white line for the player to be in, but why is it that the above must happen at the moment the ball hits the stumps? I'm sure the English player run out had touched his bat over the white line, but then his hand angled the bat upwards, when possibly the shoulder of the bat was still touching the ground, but he was given out. Just seems a bit odd to me. Do we have different coaches for ODIs and test matches, as obviously they are very different fish, be a bit like having a coach for the england football team, and then having the same coach for 5 a side or futbal. But I agree that the IPL has obviously brought a lot of foreign players on, and left us behind.

Shame to see Ireland eliminated, they provided a lot of entertainment.
South Africa v Sri Lanka could be the most exciting QF.

Sri Lanka made a horrible start, being reduced to 4-2, then had a bit of a recovery, reaching 114-4 before a complete collapse ended their chances. Only 3 Sri Lankan players reached double figures.

These QFs aren't exactly close, are they? Are you watching the highlights/games Suedey? Pakistan had the Aussies at 69-3 and struggling, and then put down a simple catch, and later another was dropped, so it could have been very different, key moments in the game. Lots of words being exchanged in the game as well, the Aussies were picking on the Pakistan #8 while he was batting, so he was then giving loads out when the Aussies were batting, tasty!

No, I haven't been watching, so I'm just going by the final result. The results suggest a distinct lack of tension towards the end of all four QFs.
