SL one down, Tharanga bowled by Reekers.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

One down. Reekers gets Tharanga bowled after the latter hit him for four fours in the previous over.

 

[James]

Reekers? Is that the same Reekers that used to play for Canterbury in New Zealand?

 

[Steulen]

Rocket start from SL, 92/2 after 12. Jayawardene gone, c Stelling b Ten Doeschate for 34. Jayasuriya on fire, 46no.

 

[Steulen]

Reekers? Is that the same Reekers that used to play for Canterbury in New Zealand?

Yes, he is.

 

[James]

Oh ok, that's a surprise. I'd always wondered what happened to him. He was a handy domestic player. Is he considered one of the better Holland players?

I believe he is the preferred opening bowler together with Edgar Schiferli. Not a Dutch cricketing superstar ( ) but a secure spot in the XI.

 

[Steulen]

Meanwhile, as I inch closer to 1,000 posts within 2 years, Sri Lanka take the opposite approach. 165/2 after 17. A humiliating 500 total is on the cards, together with a Jayasuriya 200, unless he is stopped soon.

 

[JASON]

Jayasuriya trying hard to become the first batsman to 200 in ODIs . And you are absolutely correct 500 looks a possiblity at 3/264 after 31 overs.

Meaningless records, IMO .

 

[James]

It would be a shame if South Africa's ODI record total was broken here....

Precisely what I meant.

 

[jerad]

who is (TV) sponsoring this match?
thanks

 

[Nate]

Won`t happen. Great work by Sanath.

 

[Xuhaib]

SL 443-9.

The first round of the WC will be an absolute farce.

 

[Hoggy]

Going for the outright win I see.

 

[chekmeout]

Its really not so much of the Dutch fault.. And Xuhaib, SL would have probably crossed this target against England too had they been batting 1st in the last game..

Dutch off to a fairly good start too.. 50 in 6 overs.. Would it be too much to expect another Aus-SA game? :P

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Poor Mick Lewis will never rid himself of that record, not even the Dutch could knock it off

 

[alternative]

Fantastic.. As expected South African record disappeared...
Sanath what a gun..

 

[Jono]

SA's record broken? Disappointing.

LOL @ Mick Lewis' record still standing though

 

[Steulen]

The Dutch are not doing too badly themselves at bat. 172/5 off 27.3 ovs. That's good scoring. hopefully they'll get something in the 300's
