An Awesome Statistic

Australia thrashed the West Indies in their backyard.
Andrew Miller reports:
"They look like a team that have come here for one purpose," Lara said, breathing a quiet sigh of relief that his players would not have to face them again in their bid for a semi-final slot. Australia have now won 22 of their last 23 matches in World Cup competitions dating back to 1999 - a run that has been interrupted only by that famous tie at Edgbaston.
Think about that. The Aussies have not lost their past 23 matches in a World Cup tournament. What makes that fact even more impressive is that all those games were played outside Australia! That is truly unrivaled domination.
The Champions are a lock for the semi-finals. If they go on to win those two important games, then they'll become the first team to win three World Cups in a row.
