**Official** ICC World T20 Qualifier Thread.

[ajdude]

surprised van der Westhuizen doesn't have an IPL contract, i feel dirty saying that but 159 off 70 balls and then 145 inc bringing up the 2nd fastest t20 ton, not a bad effort

 

[NUFAN]

Awesome work Diva! Guides Italy home with ease, o man.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Still surprised by the Cricinfo preview recently basically implying that the top positions were a done deal... it's T20 with associate teams ffs.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Oh and this thread needs stickying. Obviously.

My bois the Danes and Uganda.

 

[Howe_zat]

How many teams get through? Just two?

 

[Strike!]

^Yes.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Well unless the ICC change it yet again. Which is a possibility.

Ireland have Kenya 49/6... hopefully yesterday was just a good kick up the backside.

van der Westhuizen on 60 off 30 <3

Ireland have Kenya 49/6... hopefully yesterday was just a good kick up the backside.

72 a/o, chased down in under eight overs. such a thrashing. Kenya really have fallen down the associate ladder, there's at least four or five countries ahead of them now.

Italy beat the USA to gt their second win with no help from Di Venuto. Dark horses? This Sandri seems interesting - opening bowler who clubbed 48 (28) for them.

39 off 32 for Jones as PNG lose by a handful of runs. Weird chase - only lost 3 wickets (and were one or two down for the majority) but still came up short.

Sandri is an off-spinner, decent cricketer, had some 2nd XI games for Victoria. Hits the ball cleanly, too.

van der Westhuizen 106* off 54 balls

Di Venuto doesn't play T20s for Durham, so I wouldn't expect too much from him for Italy anyway.

Could play his way into a county contract. Assume he's got an Italian passport, so he won't count as an overseas player.

Ugandan pride.

Ireland nearly had a right disaster there. Beat Italy with two balls left, eight wickets down. Pressure of being favourites hurting them here?

 

[dro87]

Great game.. It could have gone both ways.. Italy would have deserved the win- but Ireland obviously wasn't 100% concentrated in the second innings.. But still well done Italy!! Proud to be Italian
