[andruid]

Wow. A straight firght between Kenya and the Dutch for a Super 4 place

Here is where The curse of Ten Doeschate is defeated

Uhm, no, backside pain comes from other things here in Amsterdam. And the Dutch are ***** at the longer format of the game anyway, so no problems with Afghanistan beating them.

I want to apologize for my language/word I used. Your comment just irritated me alot...

A sincere question: what's so infuriating about that comment? I genuinely don't get it.

ICC should risk n globalize World Twenty20. The risk which pays off later. The format for the Twenty20 World & qualifiers has to be this way:

For Example as per current ranking -

2012 ICC World Twenty20:

Group A:
Pakistan (1)
England (5)
The Netherlands (12)
Qualifier 4 (16)

Group B:
Sri Lanka (2)
India (6)
Ireland (11)
Qualifier 3 (15)

Group C:
South Africa (3)
New Zealand (7)
Zimbabwe (10)
Qualifier 2 (14)

Group D:
West Indies (4)
Bangladesh (8)
Australia (9)
Qualifier 1 (13)

Group Stage > Quarter Finals > Semi Finals > Final > Winner

2012 ICC World Twenty20 Qualifiers:

Group A:
Scotland (1)
UAE (5)
Hong Kong (12)
Cayman Islands (16)

Group B:
Kenya (2)
Namibia (6)
Papua New Guinea (11)
Argentina (15)

Group C:
Canada (3)
Bermuda (7)
Denmark (10)
Italy (14)

Group D:
Afghanistan (4)
Uganda (8)
Oman (9)
Tanzania (13)

Group E:
A1
B2
C1
D2

Group F:
A2
B1
C2
D1

Group Stage > Group E & F > Semi Finals > Final > Winner

This makes the tournaments more & more competitive & creates a lot of awareness!

Any comments friends?

fair enough...the ICC are slackers anyway.

Well, I can only say I look forward to this match.

But whatever happens, the winner starts off with a set-back in the super four.

 

[alvarez]

Wow, this is gonna be a cracker I hope. Go Kenya.

 

[laksh_01]

USA did well to restrict Afghans to 135/4 in 20 Overs & started off at 6/0 in 2.0 Overs. Interesting chase here.

On the other side UAE are looking very good beating Canada quite comfortably & reaching next round undefeated.

Damn i luv this tournament soo much.

 

[Stapel]

Boooooooh Kenya
Go Orange!

Commentary is dire, but it apperas Kenya have lost a wicket in their first over.

USA did well to restrict Afghans to 135/4 in 20 Overs & started off at 6/0 in 2.0 Overs. Interesting chase here.

USA are chasing slow, but keeping wickets intact.

39/1 after 10 overs.....

On the other side UAE are looking very good beating Canada quite comfortably & reaching next round undefeated.

UAE impress me! But the match vs Canada was a dead rubber...

 

[Inny Binny]

Every time Afghanistan surprise me. Each innings looks like a sub-par total...139, 131 and now 135. But they manage to defend their totals so well. More surprising is they didn't come close to bowling out the Scottish, and it doesn't look like they'll bowl out USA either, unless there's a big collapse. But the required run rate looks to much for USA now.

EDIT: Netherlands are murdering Kenya. 67-7 off 11.

 

[alvarez]

Typical Kenyan batting collapse. Cricket Europe have given an extra wicket at some stage though.....

 

[Stapel]

Netherlands are murdering Kenya. 67-7 off 11.

As it appears, that was one wicket more than in reality.

But we're letting Kenya of the hook a bit anyway..., 128 is a bit more than would have been foreseeable a couple of overs back. But it's defenitely chasable!

 

[alvarez]

128, a tricky total but not enough. Kamande adding a bit of respectibility to the score.

Hmm, Cricket Europe showing 130/11...but cricinfo showing 128 a/o. Weird.

(EDIT: Now cricinfo's changed to 130)

But in any case, Kenya really got themselves out of a hole there...still should be chased down.

 

[Stapel]

Man, what a mess up by just any source!

 

[Steulen]

Good bowling performance, Seelaar back to his best. Too bad about yesterday's off-day...

130 shouldn't be beyond this batting line-up. Time for RTD to contribute...

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Solid start by Szwarczzwyciewiczski.

Commonly known as The Pole. Kervezee with a second six. Looking good.

 

[Inny Binny]

Come on, Netherlands, stop making this more difficult then it is! 8 runs needed off final 3 overs, so far 11 balls gone and 4 for 1 scored.

EDIT: Well, right after I wrote that they got the job done. Good. My favourite team in this competition...well, after Afghanistan.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

NFI McCallum c Botha b Johnston 0 (2 balls, 0x4, 0x6) SR: 0.00

how appropriate...6/4 chasing 137 in 14 overs.
