Hope we bat first and score some big runs here. Few of our batsmen need a bit of form.

IIRC, Sri Lanka vs. Canada is currently the biggest T20 hammering ever?

Edit: Nope.

 

[Quaggas]

IIRC, Sri Lanka vs. Canada is currently the biggest T20 hammering ever?

Edit: Yeah, it was 172 runs...

That's Kenya. 15 runs?

 

[Howe_zat]

That's Kenya.

I said nothing.

 

[0RI0N]

Murali and TreMendis to share 6 wickets eh.

 

[NUFAN]

I love watching Sri Lanka verses minnows and this should be no exception. If SL bat first I bet Canada don't make half the total or if Canada bat first, I think SL will win within 25 overs.

 

[Noble One]

My only interest in this game is to see John Davison play again. He might only play a good knock every 10-15 games, but it is worth waiting for. Fair effort for Davison to still be playing at 40 years of age (if only for Canada). It felt like he was in the twilight of his career eight years ago, and yet he is still kicking about.

Edit: Nope.

It was the Lankans who bowled the Canucks out for 36 in 2003, wasn't it? The Davison ton vs West Indies came in their next match, IIRC.

Sri Lanka will get Medieval on Canada..

 

[Howe_zat]

Which CWer wrote this headline?

 

[blahblahblah]

hope he does some justice to his talent

dont want a dead rubber

Give Sri Lanka twenty overs and five wickets and they'll still better whatever Canada come up with. Canada are basically a one-man army, and I have a feeling Rizwan Cheema is going to get out in single digits.

 

[Blaze 18]

Turbinator has predicted a Canadian win.

 

[akilana]

let's do it boys.

 

[Blaze 18]

Do what ?

 

[Cruxdude]

Whoa! Just saw this kid in the kenyan team. 16 years old and looks it too.

Always find it slightly disturbing when someone younger than you is playing international cricket.

Yeah I never quite forgave Mohammed Amir for being the first Test cricketer to be younger than me. I understand it's a very personal problem to have with a cricketer though.

Still found a way to keep him out.

Not quite as disturbing as when, you can't find no one older than you playing international cricket.
