Been watching the highlights mainly, hats off to Ireland - drawing their first match with Zimbabwe and yesterday they beat Pakistan to go top of their group!
Australia are my favourites to win the tournament, although Sri Lanka are also a side to watch out for.

Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer dies
Woolmer took over as Pakistan coach in June 2004
Pakistan cricket coach Bob Woolmer has died of a suspected heart attack after being discovered unconscious in his Jamaica hotel room.
The 58-year-old former South Africa coach, who played for England between 1975 and 1981, was taken to hospital but never regained consciousness.
"It is very shocking news to all of the team and the team management," said Pakistan team manager Pervez Mir.
Woolmer died less than 24 hours after Pakistan exited the World Cup.
Mir revealed that Woolmer suffered from a medical condition - but said it was too early to say whether it played a part in his death.
"We saw him last night but having not seen him early today two of our officers went to his room and with the help of hotel staff entered. He was found unconscious there.
Woolmer's South-Africa based wife has been notified. He also leaves two children.
Pakistan were eliminated from the World Cup on Saturday after losing by three wickets to minnows Ireland.
Their preparations for the tournament had been far from ideal.
Following the infamous forfeited Test against England at The Oval last summer, two of their leading fast bowlers Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Asif, were suspended after failing doping tests.
The pair later saw those bans rescinded but missed the World Cup because of injury, something Woolmer admitted had hindered the team.
"There are a number of extenuating circumstances in the last six months that have made coaching Pakistan slightly different to normal sides," he said after the defeat by Ireland.
The Pakistan team are scheduled to play their third match of the World Cup against Zimbabwe on Wednesday in Jamaica.
Spokesman Mir revealed that the match would take place and said: "The Pakistan team will continue its participation in the tournament. We are due to play Zimbabwe and we will.
"Obviously the boys are extremely sad, they are very disturbed, they are shocked, it's a very shocking happening. But the boys have to play the match and they will."
Woolmer took charge of Pakistan for 10 Test series, four of which were won, with three lost and three drawn.
His overall Test record in 28 matches as Pakistan coach was 10 wins, 11 defeats and seven draws.
In the one-day game, he took charge of 69 Pakistan internationals, winning 37, and losing 29, with three non-results.
Previously he coached South Africa between 1994 and 1999, guiding them to the World Cup semi-finals.
Some very sad news from the Cricket World Cup
RIP Bob

Some very sad news from the Cricket World Cup
RIP Bob
Pakistan's cricket coach Bob Woolmer was murdered in his hotel room on Sunday after the team's World Cup shock defeat to Ireland, Jamaican police say.
A post-mortem examination established that the former England player had died as a result of "manual strangulation", police commissioner Lucius Thomas said.
"In these circumstances, the matter of Mr Woolmer's death is now being treated as murder," he told a news conference.
Police say Mr Woolmer may have known his killer or killers.
The 58-year-old was found unconscious by staff at the Pegasus Hotel in Kingston on Sunday morning.
Police said there were no signs of forced entry into his room and none of his possessions had been taken. Authorities are studying CCTV footage from the hotel.
The deputy commissioner of the Jamaican police, Mark Shields, said this might now be a hunt for more than one killer, and urged the perpetrators to hand themselves in.
"Bob was a large man. It would have taken some significant force to subdue him," he said, adding that police were ruling nothing out and had "lots of lines of inquiry".
"I have to say at this stage that it looks as if it may be somebody who's somehow linked to him, because clearly he let somebody into his hotel room and it may be that he knew who that person was," Mr Shields told the BBC.
Speculation that this may be connected to gambling cartels is only adding to the confusion surrounding his tragic death, our correspondent says.
On Thursday, Jamaican police questioned members of Pakistan's cricket squad over the death.
After being interviewed for about an hour and fingerprinted, the team left for the resort of Montego Bay.
They are planning to return to Pakistan on Saturday.
Pakistan team spokesman Pervez Jamil Mir said the players were "in a state of shock" over the news that Mr Woolmer had been killed.
However, the sport's governing body, the International Cricket Council (ICC), said the competition would continue as planned to "demonstrate that cricket cannot be put off by a cowardly criminal act".
ICC chief executive Malcolm Speed said the entire cricket community was shocked by the death of the former England Test batsman and South Africa coach.
He said: "Everyone connected with this event will assist the police in any way possible to ensure the truth emerges."
During his career, Woolmer also coached South Africa and enjoyed great success coaching in English county cricket, winning four trophies in two seasons with Warwickshire.
It now appears that Bob Woolmer was strangled to death, and a murder investigation is now open
It's difficult to see how the Cricket World Cup can carry on given such tragic circumstances, condolences go to Bob Woolmers' family
