Another fairly successful day in Delhi for the New Zealand team with two silver medals and a bronze on day four but the gold medal tally still sits at zero.

All eyes are on swimmer Glenn Snyders and cyclist Alison Shanks later tonight to pick up the country's first gold.

However New Zealand's gold medal crisis is far beyond the biggest worry in Delhi right now as a stomach virus sweeping the athletes' village may be linked to the swimming complex while the athletes that are fit and healthy are clogging the sewage system with used condoms.

Meanwhile spare a thought for Aussie sprinter Sally Pearson who was Commonwealth Games champion for all of four hours before being stripped of her title.

Highlights from day four:
