Australia won the toss and elected to bowl.
West Indies flew out of the blocks, as Simmons (32) and Chanderpaul (25) both made starts. But then the wickets came at regular intervals, Johnson (2-38) , Clark (3-23) and Watson (2-22) claiming them. West Indies ended their innings on 148-7.

The innings started badly, with a maiden against Warner (15) in the first over. And it didn't improve wickets were falling all around Ponting (71*) as he constructed a mammoth innings. In the end the total was just to big to catch and the West Indies won by 9 runs. Australia finished on 139-5.

Hughes is awesome in ODIs and Tests, never tried him in T20s. You should try Hughes though.

Australia lost the toss and were put into bat.
Warner (17) got Australia off to a quich start before being trapped lbw by Kulasekara (2-28) . Ponting (49) continued his fine Twenty20 form falling just short of his half century. This left White (22*) to pick up the pieces and guide Australia to a dissapointing score. Australia finished on 129-8.

Thing started brilliantly, as three wickets fell in the first two overs. But then Matthews (26) and Dilshan (47) put on a 47 run partnership. But when Siddle (2-33) bowled Matthews, the wickets started falling again. Bracken (5-18) rounded things off by taking a fantastic hat-trick with the last three balls of the game. Sri Lanka ended on 109 all out.

[Nottsboy118]

Australia lost the toss and were ordered to bowl, on a batter's paradise.
South Africa started slowly, going at about six an over, until White (0-23) came in and was smashed for 23 in one over. Husssey (0-5) then showed him how to bowl spin going for just five in the next over. Siddle (2-25) , Johnson (2-33) and Bracken (2-30) took the wickets, that meant South Africa finisehd their innings on 174-6.

Four Wickets had been lost by the end of the powerplay, and that left Hussey (53*) and White (64) as the last chance. They ended up getting a 100 run partnership. But it wasn't enough as Australia lost by just 6 runs. Australia ended their innings on 168-5.

[Nottsboy118]

Australia won the toss and elected to bat.
For the first time this tournament, all three of Australia's batters got good scroes. Warner (46) , Watson (38) and Ponting (63*) . Voges (16) scored some quick runs at the end of the innings to help Australia reach, 177-5.

A vintage display by the bowlers, as Pakistan suffered a heavy defeat. Bracken (5-17) and Johnson (2-36) tore their top/middle order apart. Siddle (1-15) and Watson (1-17) also got wickets. ul-Haq (37) and Malik (43) scored 80 runs but they were not enough, Pakistan finished on 118 all out.

M.Hussey took A.Voges place. A.Voges averaged just 9.00, not enough to keep him in the team. The winner of this game would reach the World Twenty20 Tournament final.

[Nottsboy118]

Australia lost the toss and they were put in the field.
England started their innings very well, as Morgan (84*) and Key (50) put on a 106 run partnership. Watson (1-18) eventually got Key out, and Bracken (1-39) then got Pieterson (8) out. But the damage had been done. England ended on 148-2.

In reply Australia lost only one wicket, but the runs were not scored quick enough. Warner (28) , Watson (58*) and Ponting (53*) got the runs, but all three batters scored too slowly. Australia ended on 145-1.
