World Cup Cocktail

Shahadat Mallick came all the way from the United States to watch the World Cup and his beloved Bangladesh, a team which feels like family to him.
"I have seen history," said Mallick, who was in Adelaide last Monday to see the Tigers claim a famous 15-run win over England which took them into the quarter-finals for the first time. 
"I watched the win over England that took us to the quarters and it's a great delight for me.
"I grew up in Dhaka and have some relatives who have played for Bangladesh, so cricket is very much in my blood but now I rarely get an opportunity to watch as I am based in US."
Mallick was just one of hundreds of Bangladeshi fans who thronged Hamilton's Seddon Park for their last World Cup Pool A match against New Zealand on Friday.
"I have come with my family of five," said Shoukat Hossain, who is from Tauranga. "It's great to see Bangladesh perform so well in the World Cup."
Hossain has already bought a ticket for quarter-final in Melbourne where Bangladesh would meet defending champions India on March 19.
"We will not allow India to beat us," said Nafees, Hossain's son, a student at Hamilton University. 
"Every time in the past we left the World Cup empty-handed but this time we can finish at our best."

Mozzies attack in Hamilton
Who are proving the more pesky opponents for the Black Caps at Seddon Park today?
While Bangladesh were providing plenty of bite with the bat in the World Cup match in a steamy Hamilton, the New Zealand side were being plagued by mosquitos and their ilk.
During breaks between overs, many of the home team's players were constantly calling for bug-repellent spray to keep the critters away; applying a full-body cover over their black clothing.
The Bangladeshi batsmen weren't spared being bothered either - not only did they have to cope with the tournament's top wicket-taker in Trent Boult, but they also sought insecticide relief as muggy, overcast conditions made the ball swing and the bugs bite.

Another Tui crowd catch
A fifth cricket fan is in the running for a share of a possible $1 million after taking a scorching one-handed catch during the Black Caps' World Cup match against Bangladesh on Friday night.
The catcher was deep in the crowd at Seddon Park when Corey Anderson smacked a huge six off the bowling of Nasir Hossain in the 37th over.
The man's mates cheered and hugged him, but it was the last scoring shot Anderson played.
He was out next ball, bowled by Hossain for 39, though the New Zealanders went on to win in a thrilling finish.
The man joins Sunjay Ganda, Travis Committie, Jamie Gough and Sajjad Ahmad in the Tui competition as fans who have taken clean, one-handed catches during World Cup matches.
The prize pool has reached $350,000, but the brewery will make the prize $1m if New Zealand wins the cup. The successful catchers will share the prizemoney.
The latest catch was yet to be verified by Tui.    --Compiled
