What a chase by Netherlands. 14rpo! Got to feel for Ireland!
2 decent games by the minnows today

Dilshan hasn't played well for a very long time, that was a terrible shot against Steyn.

He looked rubbish in the BBL as well.

He's been past his best for a couple of years now

He retired from tests to concentrate on t20 franchises. Then wasn't bought for the ipl.


His form is poor, and I believe he's in The Sri Lanka side for sentimental reasons.
And with sangakarra and jaywardene retiring, I bet they keep picking him too.

K Perera Seems a decent player. Some clean hitting for a small guy

Be interesting to watch Tahir's pies. Someone in the SA management has some stocks in him. Dreadful bowler

[six and out]

how good does Perera's bat sound!

England look a better shout with the ball than SA. SA too pace heavy and it's getting smashed.

[Cedrictoad]

Agree, I am not sure this SAF team are going to do too well on these pitches.

With an in form NZ and of course an England side about to peak (hmmmm), SAF might be in trouble to get out of the Super 10 stage.

SAF should be glad they aren't in Group 2!

[six and out]

i think it will be really interesting to see how much of a factor the dew is this evening.

apparently the England bowlers were practicing in the nets by dipping the ball in a bucket of water before bowling!

it might be a big factor on team selection, which sides have more evening games etc....

England do have a good chance in this group but the NZ game will be close to a knockout team for both teams. Game will be decided on the toss with all that dew

To be fair SA have the batting, if ABD and miller fire they can chase anything. Don't think SL will bowl this much pace on this pitch.
Decent start by the pie chucker Tahir. That stupid celebration As if he's won the game

[Cedrictoad]

Something is wrong with Tahir's pies today... they keep taking wickets

Am I the only one getting annoyed by spider cam showing the ball being bowled? I want to be able to see what's happening!

It's like that stupid camera angle they have when its a free hit. Pointless stuff...when you miss all the action

[procricket]

Got to just say the bat Angelo Matthews is using what a profile lovely

No! Its stupid. It seems to have come over from the Asia cup. Along with all the stupid strong zones and stuff.

'Batsman x's strong zone is a half volley/short and wide/on the legs. Well no (you know what) Sherlock!
