West Indies captain Chris Gayle again showed his liking for cricket’s shortest version with a 50-ball 88 as the West Indies thrashed Australia by seven wickets in their opening Twenty20 World Cup Group C match at Kensington Oval in London.

Netherlands form a cuddle-huddle - they’re really, really fired up for this. Bopara and Wright are the openers. Australia’s Netherlands’ Dirk Nannes has the ball. Here we go…

Australia captain Ricky Ponting leaned back in his chair and smiled slightly when asked what could have been a slightly embarrassing question: what did he think of his Twenty20 form?
“I think you`d probably be better off asking someone else that question,” Ponting said, and with good reason. “The past couple of games I`ve played have [...]
