Today, a Pakistan attack led by the craftiest spinner and arguably the most complete fast bowler in the one-day format, and wonderfully supported by two street-smart off-spinners set up a crushing win that catapulted their side into the World Cup semi-finals. Arjuna Ranatunga, who marshalled an attack that mirrored Pakistan’s for years, would have been proud of his effort.

Pakistan on a Caribbean cruise
By Suneer Chowdhary
Pakistan became the first team in this year’s edition of the World Cup to enter the semi-final and West Indies were whipped out in a hurry.

Ponting in survival battle, Windies face Pakistan
By Dave James
Under-fire Ricky Ponting was fighting for his future as Australia skipper on Tuesday, just two days before his defending champions tackle India in a heavyweight World Cup quarter-final clash. The 36-year-old, who took over as one-day captain in 2002 before assuming control of the Test team from Steve Waugh in 2004, may be elieved of his duties for next month's tour of Bangladesh, according to a senior official.

Quarter-final Preview: Pakistan favourites against West Indies
