ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier, UAE 2010

[Steulen]

A few jitters at the end, a dropped catch lets them off the hook and USA win!

Ireland coming good when it matters, apparently, Afghanistan not scoring too much for now.

 

[alvarez]

Ireland in a bit of strife.

Make that, a lot. Afghanistan home by 13 runs.

 

[NUFAN]

So gun that Afghanistan won! Nabi had a great game 43* (25) and 2/25 from 4.

Ah. I'll revert to my original statement re: Ireland.

UAE with a good total against Kenya, might be interesting as well.

Come on the Dutch!

 

[Stapel]

Hey hey Edje! One down, 9 to go!

 

[Steulen]

Might be 2 down...Cheema retired hurt.

Edit: Bukhari drawing blood, top edge into the face

Amazing from Afghanistan, two tight wins against Ireland recently, and in the polar opposite forms of the game. They really are the hope for the future out of all the associates.

Scotland really have been quite dire, and the rise of Afghanistan surely means they're going to struggle to qualify for international events in the forseeable future.

Canada threatening to run away, scoring at 10 an over, but now the two Dutch spinners are turning things around. Wickets and dot balls...just like Afridi did to you last year, boys.

UAE beat Kenya by 15 runs.

Ah, Seelaar got things right again. He's quite a bowler!

2/18. Great figures in T20.

 

[Stapel]

We need 143 to win. If we can get 163 playing England at Lord's, this should be easy .

 

[alvarez]

Kenya left their charge way too late. Should move Collins Obuya up to 3 and move Obanda down to 6.

Why isn't this thread sticky? is James being a cry baby again that this is not cricket?

So The Netherlands are the only european nation with a chance to win today...wow...that's new

And they have just done so, by 6 wickets with 5 balls to spare. Zuiderent 43*.

 

[Kweek]

yup, excellent news

just shows you how much a few weeks in India preparing can give you the edge over Ireland and Scotland

Hold on, hold on.

Scotland have been dire in the shorter formats for ages now and are not proper referencing material for us Dutch :cough:

Pakistan B...sorry...Afghanistan are a really dangerous side so losing to them is no great surprise. Although judging by Porterfield's comments on CricketEurope the Irish had a rotten day in the field.
