Nothing could go wrong for the Kiwis. Perfect start to their world Cup jsut like in 1992. Can they go the distance? Ah, that can wait. But today the Kiwis sent the Islanders on a leather hunt. Guptill, McCullum, Williamson, Anderson, Elliott & Ronchi were amongst the runs and a boundaryless innings by Ross Taylor was the only sore point for the Black Caps. Malinga will want to avoid his captain's eyes for a couple of days, the fella almost scored a hundred with the ball. Sri Lanka kept losing wickets at the wrong time and really didn't get going. Vettori showed what he's made of with some mean bowling and got rid of the biggies Dilshan & Jayawardane. It was Anderson's day though, the young man slayed the Lankan bowling earlier in the day & picked up two wickets to bag the player of the match award.
