GROUP C - New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Kenya

[Nishan]

Sri Lanka hold world record for all 3 forms of cricket even though kenya, Netherlands and the RP stadium road are main contributors in that

Massive hit from Mishra, feel pretty sorry for Obuya at the moment though.

What's the biggest margin of victory in T20 Internationals?

Would it by any chance be this game?

In terms of runs, then yes, that's the biggest.

 

[Perm]

Pretty sure it used to be Somerset's 250 against Gloucester.

Yeah, you're correct, I just checked. So Sri Lanka have set the new record for a high score in Twenty20 cricket.

 

[stumpski]

Kenya need 214 off the last 10 overs - pretty soon it's going to be mathematically impossible.

And the loss of Tikolo make it unlikely they'll even reach 100.

 

[Nishan]

Any comments on Lanka's new kit? i like it but looks like many dont

 

[stumpski]

Very pale, isn't it. At first glance I thought they were playing in whites.

No harm in having something a bit different - so many teams play in dark blue/red. More of a problem in county cricket with 18 sides, they often have very similar kits.

 

[Nishan]

people think its close to india's i think thats not quite right, this is similar to NZ kit of 1996 world cup

 

[Nishan]

BTW is odyo injured? 3overs for 14 looks legendary on that scorecard

 

[Prince EWS]

How often does Silva bowl in domestic cricket? He looks like quite a useful bowler for someone who often plays for Sri Lanka without bowling at all; he has a very nice action, gets some turn and landed them fairly well in the two overs he bowled.

 

[Nishan]

quite often actuallym funny how he has bowled more in 20/20 international than ODI and wijekoon impressive with his length of yorkers.

I watched his 2 over spell and I honestly can't remember if he turned a ball.

Yeah, first time I've watched Wijekoon live and was quite impressed, has a low slinging action and gets the ball nice and full at medium/medium fast pace.

 

[nightprowler10]

Whirlwind innings from Jayawardene and Mubarak lift Sri Lanka to 260/6, easily the highest international Twenty20 score. What is the record for highest Twenty20 score?

Wasn't it something like 270 odd by a Sri Lankan domestic side?

 

[Prince EWS]

Wasn't it something like 270 odd by a Sri Lankan domestic side?

Maybe you're thinking of that Sri Lankan domestic player who scored 270 in a Twenty20 club game in the Lancashire league?

 

[Poker Boy]

Good good a 172 run win in a T20 game! Kenya were awful -but they did lose to Uganda in a warm up so no surprise. PS - didn't they and Scotland qualify for this through the 50 over WCL that was held before the WC? Only an organisation of buffons would have teams qualyfing for an event by a qualyfing competition played under a diferent format than the tournament itself....

 

[andruid]

Methinks the ICC still haven't quite made up their mind what they want to do with Associate teams. Still awful performance from Kenya

 

[Days of Grace]

Surely Ireland and Scotland would have to rate above Kenya now?

Once Tikolo retires they really will be dire, if they aren't already.

I don't really like it, looks very similar to India.

Dropped them short a bit, but bowled decently for a part-timer. He hardly bowls at all in domestic cricket though.
