The World Cup finally got the spark it so dearly needed after the big match between hosts India and England came to a tie after both teams had batted their alotted 50 overs.
Today we have a double header starting with a minnows game where Zimbabwe take on Canada in a game which the Zimbabweans should easily take, but one never really knows with these games.
In the late game, the Netherlands, buoyed by their narrow loss to England, take on the West Indies, who lost to South Africa in their opening game. Look forward to some good batting from the Dutch.
