New Zealand has done it three times in a row. First the Australians were handed out their first ever 10 wicket loss in limited overs cricket and then scores of over 300 were chased down successfully twice with a day separating the two.
The victory of South Africa while chasing over 400 was stupendous and the victories for New Zealand are simply incredible. In all the cases, the much vaunted bowling and fielding of the Aussie team were left lacking at crucial occasions.
It can be argued that the Aussies were handicapped by the absence of key players.
It can be argued in the lines of Adam Gilchrist that the Aussies needed rest after the Ashes.
It can also be argued that the losses do not make the Aussies any less threatening in the word cup.
For the time being let us enjoy the fact that the Kiwi has managed to fly.
