India vs Pakistan
Master batsman Sachin Tendulkar provided the fireworks of the first round with a swashbuckling knock against Pakistan.

New Zealand vs Canada
Not many had heard of Canada's John Davison, a first-class off-spinner and tail-end batsman, till he hit the fastest century, off only 67 balls, in World Cup history, against the West Indies at Centurion.

New Zealand vs Canada
Had John Davison caught New Zealand batsman Chris Cairns on the boundary line, he may have been credited with the catch of the World Cup. He literally went up in the air like a bird but the ball eluded his outstretched left arm by inches and went for a six.

Australia vs England
Australia's wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist has taken some of the toughest catches that have come his way but this one off England batsman Alec Stewart proved too hot to handle.

India vs England
India's left arm fast bowler Ashish Nehra exults after trapping Alec Stewart plumb in front of the wicket.

Pakistan vs Netherlands
Pakistan's Wasim Akram celebrates after claiming his 500th one-day international wicket, bowling Nick Statham (not in picture) for a duck. The fast bowler is the first bowler in the history of one-day internationals to pick 500 wickets.

India vs Namibia
The Indian team has come up with something new. After the fall of a wicket the boys huddle together -- to sort out their next victim.
