*Official* Match 23 - Canada v Kenya

[shivfan]

Cheema opening the batting....

Is he lbw? Review called....

Successfully overturned, then a steepling ball that gets two as the fielder can't pick it up, then a boundary slashed thru the offside.

A dramatic first over!

 

[Jono]

Ugh, Cheema that is an awful shot.

Do not like watching him bat. Club cricket-esque.

Keep your head still ffs.

I don't really care how many runs they score, beyond a team perspective I cannot possibly enjoy watching sloggers like him bat.

 

[shivfan]

That was a nicely timed boundary by Gunasekara....

 

[Dhoni_fan]

bannnnnnnnnnng

 

[shivfan]

Good fielding by Kamande to run out Surkari with that direct hit....

 

[Jono]

Wtf?!?!?!

 

[Nate]

Lol. Hoping for a solid Bagai innings and some Davison magic.

 

[Nate]

Waters with one of the worst drops I've ever seen. I really want to like this match, but the quality of the cricket has been terrible.

 

[Spark]

Don't know whether to laugh or sigh.

It really is hard to argue for teams of this standard to be playing at this level when such painfully poor cricket is on show.

 

[shivfan]

Wtf?!?!?!

One of the most brainless stumpings/run outs I have ever seen....

 

[Jono]

Agree with Chappelli. That's a runout, not a stumping

 

[shivfan]

Collins Obuya's bowling has mysteriously deteriorated, hasn't it?

 

[Blaze 18]

What is the difference between a stumping and a run-out ?

 

[shivfan]

I just love Cozier and Mbangwa discussing it....

Mbangwa: "Don't you think it's been discussed enough?"

Six!

 

[stumpski]

Keeper likes a chat, doesn't he? And those mad orange framed glasses make Tikolo look like a Mutant Ninja Turtle.

 

[shivfan]

A good half-century by Hansra....

Swung the match back Canada's way.

 

[Neil Pickup]

What is the difference between a stumping and a run-out ?

It's a run out if you're trying to run. It's a stumping if you've accidentallty overbalanced.

For me, that was very clearly a conscious (if moronic) decision to leave his crease, therefore a run out.

 

[Dhoni_fan]

not bad Canada were 1/1 to win this match 30 mins ago I wacked 100 quid on them now they are odd on!

 

[shivfan]

And that's Canada's first ever hundred partnership in the World Cup....

Celebrated with a boundary.

At this rate, Gordon and Davison won't be needed.
