New Zealand swept aside by Australia in Cricket World Cup

Australia have made an emphatic start to their Cricket World Cup campaign after beating New Zealand by seven wickets with 96 balls to spare.

New Zealand were sent into bat first after Australia won the toss. The Kiwi's made a shaky start, at one point they were 73-6, but managed to post a target of 206 for the Australian's to chase.

In the end it was a simple victory. Australia coasted along and reached their goal in the 34th over to win their 25th World Cup game in a row. The only bad news for the Australians is that fast bowler Doug Bollinger, who did not take part in today's game, has been ruled out of the tournament completely.
