Australia into Super Six

Australia cruised into the World Cup Super Six with a record 256-run win over Namibia in Potchefstroom. The African minnows had no answer to Glen McGrath's brilliance, crumbling to a paltry 45 all out and the heaviest defeat in World Cup history.

McGrath finished with a remarkable seven for 15, another tournament record, eclipsing Winston Davis' effort for the West Indies against Australia at Headingley in 1983.

Namibia's total was also the World Cup's equal second lowest, behind only Canada's 36 against Sri Lanka eight days ago.
