Mccullum's century set New Zealand on course to create history

Australia vs New Zealand
Result: New Zealand won by 2 wickets
MoM: DL Vettori​
 
Ohhhhhh Yeeeahhhhh!!!!!!!!!!
Fells great to have stomped such a great team albeit by a small margin. We'll still take that. After the first inning deficit it felt that it would be another loss but both the bowlers and the batsmen stood forward in the second innings where everyone contributed. Delighted with the win..

Tremlett ripped apart the South African batting order

England vs South Africa
Result: England won by 229 Runs
MoM: CT Tremlett​
 
A beautiful win there , Tremlett just wrecked havoc on the South African batsmen 2nd innings up. Strauss and KP were just fabulous with the bat scoring important tons . Anderson's swing bowling proved fatal yet again to the opposition who had a tough time seeing it off . Swann & Finn played the supporter's role very well . In total , a big morale boosting victory against one of the top sides in the world .
