Gibbs troubles Dutch as Kiwis see off England
by Kalm
BRIDGETOWN (AFP) - Herschelle Gibbs smashed his way into the record books as the World Cup witnessed another heayweight nation deliver a brutal knockout blow to a hapless contender on Friday. Gibbs became the first man to hit six sixes in an over in a one-day international as the Netherlands were bludgeoned into a humiliating 221-run defeat at the hands of world number one South Africa in St Kitts.
South Africa piled up 353-3 off just 40 overs in a rain-restricted Group A tie with Jacques Kallis making an unbeaten 128 and Mark Boucher finishing not out on 75.
Boucher joined Gibbs, who was eventually out for 72, in the record books by making the fastest World Cup half-century reaching the mark in just 21 balls, two quicker than the previous best of Brian Lara.
Skipper Graeme Smith contributed 67 before the Dutch crawled to 132-9 in their 40 overs.
"It's up there with the best things I've done," said Gibbs.
"I never thought about getting six in a row, but if it's your day, it's your day."
It was the third embarrassing result of the first week of the World Cup following Sri Lanka's 245-run win over Bermuda and defending champions Australia's 203-run triumph against Scotland.
Meanwhile, New Zealand beat England by six wickets in a crucial Group C clash at St Lucia in a game featuring the two probable qualifiers from that section for the second round Super Eights.
The Black Caps' win also means they will carry two extra points into the next round should England, as expected, edge Kenya and Canada to second spot.
Chasing 210 for victory, New Zealand finished on 210 for four with nine overs to spare after having recovered from 19 for three in five overs.
They were still in trouble at 72 for four before an unbeaten stand of 138 between all-rounders Scott Styris (87 not out) and Jacob Oram (63 not out) saw them home.
Earlier, Kevin Pietersen top-scored for England with 60 but England were undone by a middle order collapse which saw them slump from 133-3 to 138-7.
"It's not the ideal start but we will have to pick ourselves up in time to face Canada on Sunday," said England skipper Michael Vaughan.
New Zealand captain Stephen Fleming praised his team.
"It was a crucial game and both teams were battling for the points," said Fleming.
"Important players put their hands up at the right time - Shane Bond and then Styris and Oram. It's a big win and we're on the board."
Bangladesh, who face India in their first game on Saturday, were in mourning after Test player Manjarul Islam Rana and fellow cricketer Sajedul Islam Shetu were killed in a road accident.
Manjarul and Sajedul died when the motorcycle on which they were travelling collided with a bus in the southwestern Bangladesh city of Khulna.
"I am deeply shocked. He was our team-mate and we played together for a long time," said Bangladesh captain Habibul Bashar of Manjarul who played six Tests and 25 one-day internationals but missed out on the World Cup squad.
Left-arm spinner Manjarul, who was just 22, made his ODI debut in November 2003 at the age of 19 and took the wicket of England skipper Vaughan with his third ball.
Saturday's other World Cup match sees Pakistan take on Ireland with the Irish buoyed by their last-ball tie with Zimbabwe in their opening game and determined to celebrate St Patrick's Day in style.

Inspired by the Trivium interpretation by Paranoidave and my friend Nick, I've decided to do an interpretation of the song Cloud Covers by Volcano. Volcano is a pretty unknown thrash metal band from Japan. The vocalist left a few months ago and I decided to make this a tribute to him. Enjoy!

Antique-Gas-Engine-Show-Volcano-Days
An extinct community in Wood County, West Virginia, Volcano
was an oil town, located in the third greatest oil field to
be discovered in the United States. Two Irishmen whose
names are lost to history brought in the first successful
well there.
At one time Volcano resembled a Klondike gold rush boom town
with a population of eight or ten thousand people. At it's
peak, the town consisted of several stores, hotels, saloons,
an opera house, warehouse, homes, churches, two schools, a
post office, and it's own newspaper, the Walking Beam.
It's downfall began in 1879 when a fire broke out and burned
almost every building in town. Some of the population
stayed on to continue to pump oil from the rich field, but
most left, to explore elsewhere in West Virginia or to join
the exodus of prospectors to the newly discovered Oklahoma
oil fields. Some oil is still pumped from the field at
Volcano, although nothing like the quantity formerly brought
to the surface by the old fashioned steam powered pumps.
Volcano hardly exists as a town today, just a few isolated
homes remain scattered over the hills.
************Early History***********
1810- South of Volcano, oil was found in gravel beds of the
Hughes River.
1836- Bushrod Creel sold 100 barrels of such oil as "bank
oil" for medicinal purposes.
1850 thru 1860- Oil seepages were discovered in the Volcano
area along Oil Spring Run between Volcano and the village of
Petroleum. When seepages were first discovered, oil was
collected by wringing out blankets which had been soaked in
the oil puddles. The first successful oil well was drilled
in this area by Messrs. Hazeltt and Co. of Wheeling, West
Virginia in 1860.
1857- The North Western Railroad extended it's main line
from Cumberland, Maryland to Parkersburg, West Virginia,
coming within a few miles of the Volcano field.
1873- By this date the increasing demand for oil had
brought about many new wells and employment of hundreds of
workers. Volcano had become the center of oil production in
West Virginia. The town had grown to a population of
several thousand and included schools, churches, stores,
restaurants, an opera house, a large hotel, a town hall, and
two newspapers (The Walking Beam and The Lubricator). Also,
there was a baseball team known as the "Greasy Nine" with a
professional circus clown as a pitcher.
1874- W.C. Stiles, Jr. devised a method of connecting
several wells by an endless cable and pumping them all from
one central point.
1879- The first pipeline in West Virginia was completed.
It ran fifteen miles from Volcano to Parkersburg. Prior to
this time it cost 25 cents per barrel to ship the oil to
Parkersburg, where it sold for $2.75 per barrel.
On August 4th, at about 4 a.m., the town of Volcano was
swept by fire. The many wooden structures burned like
kindling, and the fire literally cleared both sides of the
street. A few buildings were saved; the Silcott Hotel, the
upper end of town, and a number of oil derricks on the
hillside. The cause of the fire is still undetermined.

Steve Vai continues to tour regularly, both with his own group and with his one time teacher and fellow guitar instrumentalist friend Joe Satriani on the G3 series of tours. Former David Lee Roth bassist Billy Sheehan also joined him for a world tour.
In 1990 Steve Vai released his critically acclaimed solo album "Passion and Warfare". In 1994 Steve Vai began writing and recording with Ozzy Osbourne. Only one track from these sessions "My Little Man" was released on the "Ozzmosis" album. Despite Steve penning the track he does not appear on the album. His guitar parts were replaced by Zakk Wylde.
Vai received a Grammy Award in 1991. Vai's band members throughout the 1990s included drummer Mike Mangini, guitarist Mike Keneally and bassist Philip Bynoe.
In July 2002, Steve Vai performed with the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra at the Suntory Hall in Tokyo, Japan, in the world premiere of composer Ichiro Nodaira's Fire Strings, a concerto for electric guitar and 100-piece orchestra. In 2004, a number of his compositions for orchestra, as well as orchestra arrangements of previously recorded pieces, were performed in The Netherlands by the Metropole Orchestra in a concert series entitled The Aching Hunger.
In 2003, drummer Jeremy Colson joined Vai's group replacing previous drummer Virgil Donati. Vai's latest album, Real Illusions: Reflections, was released in 2005, and Steve Vai and the Breed, as the band is now called, has embarked on a world tour in support of that album.
Steve Vai released a DVD of his performance at The Astoria in London in December 2001, featuring the lineup of bassist Billy Sheehan, formerly of David Lee Roth and Mr. Big, guitar and piano virtuoso Tony MacAlpine, guitarist Dave Weiner and drummer Virgil Donati.
In 2004, Steve Vai was featured on Xbox's Halo 2 Volume 1 soundtrack, performing a heavy rock-guitar rendition of the "Halo 2 Theme", known as "Halo 2 Theme (Mjolnir Mix)". He also performed on the track "Never Surrender". In the second iteration of the soundtrack, he performed on the track "Reclaimer".
In February 2005, Vai premiered a dual-guitar (electric and classical) piece that he wrote called The Blossom Suite with classical guitarist Sharon Isbin at the Châtelet Theatre in Paris.
In 2006, Vai played as a "special guest" guitarist alongside additional guest Zappa band members, drummer Terry Bozzio and singer Napoleon Murphy Brock in the Zappa Plays Zappa tour led by Frank's son Dweezil Zappa in Europe and the U.S. in the Spring as well as a short U.S. tour in October.
On September 21, 2006, Vai made a special appearance at the "Video Games Live" concert at the Hollywood Bowl in Hollywood, California. He played two songs with the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra. One song being the Halo Theme, the second was for the world premier trailer for Halo 3.
Steve Vai is currently editing and mixing a double record set entitled "Steve Vai's Sound Current". He recorded this with the Metrople Orchestra in Holland for the Dutch Government and NPS Radio
