Group A - Namibia, Netherlands, Sri Lanka, United Arab Emirates

[trundler]

They were also facing Pakistan who catch like double amputees every time they're in a final.

 

[Burgey]

Ablest tropes from Trundler here.

 

[Tiberius]

I have tickets for Australia vs winner of group a. It doesn't look like that will be Sri Lanka now, unless Sri Lanka thrash the Netherlands and the Netherlands beat Namibia.

 

[straw man]

uh how is this not a clear edge?

Thank goodness 3rd umpire corrects his initial mistake - would have been a howler.

Netherlands on top here

 

[CricAddict]

Terrible batting by Namibia so far.

 

[CricAddict]

Their best 3 batsmen are batting 6,7 and 8 in a T20. What sort of a strategy is that?

 

[CricAddict]

I will replace 2 of the top 3 with Smit and Erasmus. Lingen and Baard can't hit big and so, its quite useless to have them in the powerplay. Could get someone like Trumpelmann in to get those bowling stocks up.

 

[CricAddict]

If Namibia can somehow get to 140, they can try and defend that total. But even that is a big task now with 63 to get in the last 6 overs.

 

[Nintendo]

This is just odd from Namibia. Frylick should just retire himself out, can't be wasting balls going at 5 an over in the 17th over of a T20 with Smit and wiese still to bat.

 

[Nintendo]

That fall looked nasty. Weise getting injured would be horrible for namibia.

 

[cnerd123]

JJ Smit facing just 4 balls is a missed opportunity for Namibia. Really shouldn't be burying him so low, it worked vs SL but at least he got 16 balls there.

Netherlands thumping Namibia here is a massive result for SL. Which is disappointing for all the Associate fans.

Ehh netherlands are just cruising along here and namibia's NRR is amazing, if namibia drag this game to the 17th/18th they only need to beat the uae to qualify unless sri-lanka absolutely murder the UAE and netherlands.

 

[cnerd123]

yea taken the foot off the gas a bit here Netherlands

Good to see fellow associates looking out after each other

 

[Nintendo]

Wierd that they've only given smit one over here so far, gave o'dowd some real trouble in his first over, nearly got him first ball then had him playing and missing.

 

[cnerd123]

did Smit throw up on the captain's shoes during the post SL game celebrations or something?

 

[cnerd123]

Netherlands choking here

 

[Nintendo]

Edwards is so lucky there, smashed an edge at the stumps but caught the back of his leg instead.

 

[Nintendo]

20 from 18 all of a sudden.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Wow, what a turn around.
