What a farce from holland.
More pointless records for Sri Lanka against minnows. Makes a joke of records, games against minnows surely shouldn't count in the record books.

You can't really blame Sri Lanka, they just play who they are drawn against,

And Netherlands did earn there qualification,

Anyone else think gayle is costing the windies? He'd ant run or get it off. Square at mo,

17 from 25.


I'm one of his biggest fans, but he does not look himself at mo

You've got to keep him in there for those magic moments where he'll win the game for you alone.

But you could argue him and smith not taking singles and walking ones when two was available already cost them vs India,

Thankfully smith is firing, but say Bangladesh win in the last over? Gaylestorm inability to run could knock them out do the tournament?

His talent then scoring a ton in a non game when already out isn't gonna do much?




I do hope I'm wrong and he finishes in the 70s/80s

He has a bad knee

Gayle's been out of form for quite a while now, he had a horrible tour of India and West Indies.
England just bowled poorly to him, that's why he scored a few runs in that series.

Surely bravo should bat higher since he can rotate the strike

[smilley792]

While gayle is in I'd have sent Sammy in, there just walking singles, so might aswell have a bully at both ends!



I'd say what was Simmons doing, but I did something similar last season.........oops

[smilley792]

How long till santokie is a left arm spinner. He gets some good turn!

[csnew]

How many drops this tournament so far by all teams. Think England the only ones not to have dropped one

[smilley792]

Controversial but. Are SA chocking?


Big emphasis on that the runrate gained against Netherlands will be crucial in who qualifys from this group,

Sri Lanka brushed them aside with ease.

SA are 120for 6 of 16 overs and down to the bowlers.

[smilley792]

133 for 8 11 balls left. Netherlands will be pleasantly happy at this.

[GarrettJ]

Bloke is bowling under 70mph and no one can play him!

[smilley792]

Yep  he bamboozled millar then.


Seems the way, bowl slower balls and cutters and use the quicker one as the change,


Maybe dernbach could Do well in this tournament.........

Score doesn't look bad on this pitch. Getting slower, lower and turning.
Few interesting decisions by SA to demote duminy after his man of the match last game
