Week One Roundup

Seven days in, it's delight for New Zealand as the only team so far to win two from two, and despair for South Africa having lost all of their three, and effectively eliminated themselves within a week. Pakistan were humiliated by the short-pitched fast bowling of a resurgent West Indies, only to do some resurging of their own days later as they brought England crashing back down to earth. Little in the way of alarm for Australia or India in their opening game; Bangladesh provided one upset and came close to another, only to let themselves down with some fine-margin errors. Elsewhere, Sri Lanka have proved as troubled as expected, but managed to just about see off Afghanistan who may well have a long hard run ahead.
