Australia Spanks Ireland to Reach Semifinals (Cricket)

Australia needed less than 13 overs to seal a semi-final place, after bowling out Ireland for 91 in Barbados.

Glenn McGrath struck in the first over and after the rapid Shaun Tait took two wickets in two balls, it was soon 12-4.

At that stage Ireland were in danger of the lowest World Cup total, 36 made by Canada in 2003, but John Mooney's defiant 23 helped bolster their score.
