Only Australia

After four weeks and 44 matches, and following their brilliant and brutal dismantling of Sri Lanka, Australia are comfortably on course for a second successive World Cup title.
Two more pretenders, Zimbabwe and New Zealand, were pressing their claims in the Super Sixes on Saturday but, in reality, the game is up and Ricky Ponting's potential rivals are already scrambling for answers to their dilemma.
Sri Lanka skipper Sanath Jayasuriya, who felt the full force of Australian ambition when he was forced out of his team's match at Centurion on Friday after being hit by a Brett Lee special, was asked if Australia could be beaten in this tournament.
"It all depends on the first two hours of a match," said Jayasuriya.
"You never know. If a team bats or bowls well at the start, they could put the Aussies under pressure. But it was not our day."
Ponting, who hit a majestic century in his side's 96-run win against the 1996 champions, was almost clinical in his appraisal.
"We played pretty well and executed our plans well. We had to be aggressive at the start of both innings to unsettle them and we did just that," said the skipper whose side are already in the semifinals after just one of their three Super Six matches.
Their next assignment is against New Zealand in Port Elizabeth on Tuesday before they finish the second round phase against Kenya in Durban on Saturday.
Unless a major disaster befalls them, they will take their allotted place in the first semifinal in Port Elizabeth on March 18 before their expected coronation as champions of the world at the Wanderers on March 23.
At Goodyear Park in Bloemfontein, Zimbabwe captain Heath Streak hit an unbeaten 72 to help his side recover to 252 for seven in their opening Super Six match against New Zealand.
Streak and wicketkeeper Tatenda Taibu, who made a career-best 53, put on 68 for the seventh wicket after the Africans collapsed to 106 for six after winning the toss.
Fast bowler Streak faced 84 balls and hit two giant sixes while 62 runs came off the last three overs with Sean Ervine, 31 not out, weighing in as well in an unbroken stand of 78.
Taibu, who faced 79 balls and hit one six, was eventually snared leg-before off Chris Harris as he tried to flick the ball over the head of the wicketkeeper.
Zimbabwe, who won the toss, lost opener Dion Ebrahim for nought when he chopped on against Andre Adams and by the time Grant Flower (one) mishooked Jacob Oram to Chris Cairns, Zimbabwe were in trouble at 63 for three.
Star batsman Andy Flower was then run out for 37 as the left-hander was beaten by Nathan Astle's direct hit.
Another run out saw Zimbabwe lose their sixth wicket when Daniel Vettori beat the despairing dive of non-striker Andy Blignaut who had been sent back by Taibu trying to risk a single.
Both sides need to win this match to have a realistic chance of qualifying for the semifinals.
They carried forward the fewest points of any of the teams in the Super Sixes with New Zealand on four and Zimbabwe a mere three-and-a-half.
