Group B - Sri Lanka, New Zealand, Zimbabwe

[Prince EWS]

Price on a hatrick....for the next time he bowls obviously.

It doesn't work like that.

 

[Sir Alex]

Judging by the efforts of #s 3-7, yes, yes he is.

Can't do worse than TilDil opening either.

Personally feel he is wasted at 8. Can replace TilDil for a game and see how the right-left combo works. Til just doesn't look like scoring anything atm.

Could that be Sri Lanka out of the tournament?

 

[GGG]

Could that be Sri Lanka out of the tournament?

If the NZ v Zim game is rained off, NZ should beat Zim by a big enough margin to allow Sri Lanka through.

 

[Faisal1985]

This will be quite sad for SL. But still if Zim loses to NZ then SL is in right?

Unless it is really close, like last over stuff, I fail at working out overall net run rates.

 

[Bobisback]

Well, if I was NZ, I would lose to Zimbabwe...

 

[Migara]

Bye Bye SL.

 

[Faisal1985]

Wonder how this affects the next game between Eng/WI.

 

[GGG]

Well, if I was NZ, I would lose to Zimbabwe...

Why? It would be better for us if Sri Lanka go through, would rather the other teams get to play Sri Lanka than Zimbabwe.

 

[Bobisback]

Yeah, but NZ would much prefer to play Zimbabwe in the final then play Sri Lanka. I know Zimbabwe shouldnt make the final, but it would still be in their minds.

 

[Bobisback]

This target seems a bit ridiculous, 10 an over with 10 wickets in a hand, should be easy...

 

[shivfan]

Could that be Sri Lanka out of the tournament?

It would have to rain much more and much harder than that....

Providence's drainage is amazing!

 

[BoyBrumby]

Backing SL still.

Especially after that. Lol. Yes, no, sorry. Classic horlicks.

 

[King Pietersen]

Quality running to start the innings. Zimbabwe really need someone to get going quickly. Doesn't appear to be a great deal of power hitting in the line-up though.

 

[Faisal1985]

Even if Zim loses a wicket every over except 1, and only tell the batsmen to go and just hit.....they can win.

 

[shivfan]

More rain on its way....

Sanga better get those five overs in quickly!

 

[Faisal1985]

How much does Zim have to score to beat SL in those 5 overs though?

 

[shivfan]

43, I think....

 

[Faisal1985]

So, SL stays alive.....will get 2 points now if the game does not start again....lets see....
