Going purely off averages v. S.A. and previous games, I see good value in the top batsman for New Zealand.

Cairns @ 6.50
Flemming @ 5.50

54.17% on Flemming and 45.83% on Cairns will net you odds of 2.979 ;)

I know it's a bit of a volatile market, but their batting line-up is shaky at best....Forget McMillan and Vincent. Realistically only Astle and Styris are dangers.

Astle averages only 13.88 in 17 World Cup matches, but Styris in some decent form.

Last 6 games between the 2 teams, one of these 2 players has lead the scoring on 4 occasions. (Flemming was the 2nd top scorer in the other 2.....Not that that counts for squat. :D)

What does count is that McMillan was the top scorer in the other 2 games, and I can't see this happening.

BOUCHER - HAS HE DROPPED THE 2003 WORLD CUP?
Johannesburg, Feb 16 Reuters - Herschelle Gibbs, they say, dropped the 1999 World Cup. Mark Boucher may just have dropped the 2003 trophy on Sunday.
New Zealand captain Stephen Fleming was on 53 at The Wanderers when he offered the South African wicketkeeper a simple chance behind the stumps.
Boucher snatched eagerly at the ball and spilled it. A few hours and two cruel rain delays later, Fleming was completing an innings of a lifetime by hitting the winning runs through the off side.
The significance of Fleming's unbeaten 134 was not lost on his team mates, who began jogging on to the field at the end to congratulate their captain.
It's significance will not be lost on Boucher either.
South Africa, who also lost their first game against West Indies, now face a massive task just to make it to the Super Six round, let alone become the first home team to lift the trophy.
