gone, all over. Saeed Ajmal gives himself room, Tait fires in a quick yorker and that is that. The players shake hands, Australia look very content, and they have been completely dominant today.

Australia came into this tournament with a very poor record but they have outplayed the defending champions in every aspect of the game today. Led by an excellent innings from Shane Watson, supported by the destructive Davids - Warner and Hussey, they made too many for a Pakistan team out of sorts.
Ravi Shastri leads the presentation ceremony and Shahid Afridi said that he thought the spinners could do well early on but Warner and Watson were too strong today and thinks 192 was a very very good total.
Michael Clarke is very chirpy. Predictably he thinks 'all the boys did well' and backs his fast bowlers to do very well in the tournament.
Shane Watson takes the man-of-the-match award for his 81 that really took the game away from Pakistan. He says 175 would have been par today and pays tribute to David Hussey's fifty.
Right, that is all from me. I hope you have enjoyed the action. The fun, of course, doesn't stop and tomorrow Sri Lanka face a combative Zimbabwe side and need to win to progress in the tournament, and England play their first game, against the hosts, West Indies. So I do hope you'll join us, and, while you wait, you can always share your rants and revelations on our Facebook page.
