Hogg and Ponting kiss and makeup

Brad Hogg has been added to Australia's Champions Trophy squad, after he and captain Ricky Ponting resolved their conflict. The nature of the rift is not yet known, but it initially saw Hogg left out of the squad in favour of Stuart Clark.

After Hogg delivered a letter of apology to Ponting, normal service resumed.
Har har, yay! Three cheers for the great Hoggy! What a hero. :D

Interesting the Australian selectors replaced Clark for Hogg, logic would have suggested he would replace White who currenty holds his spot.

Hogg didn't replace anyone in the squad. He was added to the squad.

GROUP A:
South Africa vs West Indies
at Trent Bridge

The West Indies dropped Graeme Smith twice, including once on 1, and South Africa cruised to victory by 6 wickets. A bizarre loss of wickets in the closing stages of the innings could not mask the dominance.

In seaming conditions, Shaun Pollock and Andrew Hall limited the West Indies to 214/9, largely due to the efforts of Brian Lara and Dwayne Bravo. Smith and Hall then added 203 for the first wicket, when Edwards had the latter caught at cover for 99. South Africa then lost 3 more wickets, including that of Smith (run out) for 98, before Ashwell Prince hit the winning single.

Conditions: Damp; good for seamers
Toss: South Africa

West Indies 214/9 (50 overs)
South Africa 215/4 (45.4 overs)

South Africa won by 6 wickets.
South Africa (4 points) West Indies (1 point)

Man of the Match: AJ Hall

GROUP D:
India vs Kenya
at Canterbury

Sachin Tendulkar was dropped by Collins Obuya on 10, and Yuvraj Singh on 0, and they made the Kenyans pay, with innings of 98 and 83 respectively, amidst 303/6. Yuvraj was particularly severe, lashing 8 fours in his 75 balls knock. After he was dropped a second time on 57, Yuvraj scored 26 runs off his next 19 balls.

Sehwag was later dropped on 17, then went on to score 30, as the Kenyans missed precious opportunities.

The batsmen weren't much better, and they suffered the indignity of losing 2 wickets to Sourav Ganguly, who bowled all 10 of his overs on the trot. Ravindu Shah and Steve Tikolo looked solid early in the game, at 70/1, but when the captain was caught behind for 32, things began to come undone.

Conditions: Wet; good for batting
Toss: Kenya

India 303/6 (50 overs)
Kenya 177 (45.2 overs)

India won by 126 runs.
India (5 points) Kenya (0 points

Man of the Match: SC Ganguly

Edwards looking a worthy replacement, Bravo impresses. Who will get the first 100?

Internet down and probably won't be fixed for a couple more days, possibly not for another week. Postponed indefinitely.
