Group C - Kenya, New Zealand, Sri Lanka

[Eddie]

shame i'd love to have seen a 13 ball fifty..lol

 

[Gilly Fan]

Could you imagine going at 13.10 in a 50 over innings!?!?

They would've made 655!!!

Wow that is a huge total by SL. Awesome inns from Sanath and that was some hitting from Mubarak in the last 2 overs.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Sri Lanka makes to make this a quick one. Vaas gets a LBW in the first over.

 

[harishankar]

Sri Lanka love making mincemeat of weaker teams. Wow... just wow...

 

[irottev]

Yeah, Kenya have been absolutly thrashed in 2 games now. I don't think they should be a part of any future Twenty/20's. They can't compete.

Brilliant performance by SL though. Really smashed it around. That total is huge, doubt anything will beat that for a while. That's a decent 50 over score 260.

Mubarak went nuts at the end. Pretty pathetic bowling though.

Actually, in general, not just Kenya, but for every team so far bar a few, there are no where near enough yorkers being bowled. It's just not acceptable.

 

[harishankar]

Kenya are the most disappointing of the associate nations. They have been around long enough to have improved.

Lack of exposure in regular ODI and international cricket is really taking its toll. And they seem to have the same old aging players around like Tikolo and Odoyo... they need youth to bring about some change in their cricket, otherwise they're just a waste of a slot in the competition.

 

[angryangy]

Their fielding was just not good enough today. They had chances. They had some bad luck with the two fielders colliding, but that is also a mistake in communication.

 

[irottev]

That six the Kenyans just hit made Jaysuriya's and Mubaraks look pathetic. Huge hit right off the middle.

Sadly, they don;t have a show. They're kinda fighting a little bit.

 

[angryangy]

They're really disadvantaged by Odoyo's injury, but yeah, getting 100 looks like a struggle.

 

[irottev]

This tournament has actually been extremely boring for me. Kenya has totally ruined this pool. The pools without minnow sides have been interesting and produced the best games. The ones with Scotland and Kenya have been a waste of time.

The game is dead. It's been dead ever since Sri Lanka passed the 150 mark really. Same with the last game they played, was dead after 4 overs.

 

[ZexyZahid]

This could lead into the biggest Twenty20 victory. Kenya are already on 66-6.

And it seems Sri Lanka are practising a bit with their other bowlers.

 

[irottev]

Of course it will be a biggest victory. Runs wise anyway. I doubt it'll get broken for a while. Depends how many more games vs the minnows there are in the future.

 

[Thurya]

wow what a match. It was like lightening.

really unfortunate that Muba miss the half century. It would have been invinsible.

 

[aussie1st]

Kenya have been disappointing this tournament expected them to at least be competitive. Well played by SL they are looking good, the game against NZ should be a cracker that this group needs.
