ICC WT20 | Group C | Sri Lanka VS Zimbabwe | Hambantota, 18th Sep 2012

why cant we just play all world cups in Australia or south africa ? No weather problems and great stadiums

Err...because it is a world cup?
But yeah I agree./ Aus would have been perfect. Great stadiums and good weather.

 

[TalhaSyed]

Cant bowl it short and wide to Dilshan! He will punish you!

A score of 130-140 will be enough for SL IMO

 

[shakil]

Srilankan board needs all the money they can have

 

[TalhaSyed]

And Zim miss a run out chance!

They have had the chances, just havent taken them!

 

[Tridibans_16]

What the hell were they thinking with that split screen thingy?

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Srilankan board needs all the money they can have

Thats why ODI worldcup was in SC. T20 world cup in SL is just ... Just like T20 2010 world cup in West Indies.

 

[TalhaSyed]

I think UAE could be a good place for a T20 world cup:

> You need 3 stadiums - Sharjah, Abu Dhabi & Dubai
> You will get crowds for - The asian teams with plenty of Pakistanis, Indians, Sri Lankans & Bangladeshi fans there
> People from UK & Aus love visiting the UAE so Im sure they will get more traveling fans then they would in SL
> Nice stadiums & facilities

Look at the crowd in the 2nd T20 VS Aus...if the cricket is good the fans will come out

 

[giri26]

SL have been extremely lucky with balls falling in no mans land. They seem to be extremely nervous.

 

[imranq]

Feels like I am watching SLPL

 

[leatherface58]

This new guy Dilshan M looks like type player.

CORRECTION: he looks worse than not able to put bat to a single ball. Atleast Nazir hits one or two sixes by chance

 

[leatherface58]

Wow horror fielding from Zimbos

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Feels like I am watching SLPL

and this Sri Lanka's match. Imagine what will happen when its Pak vs. NZ. It will be like playing in a graveyard.

 

[shakil]

 

[TalhaSyed]

Dropped!

SL are getting lucky but Zim really arent helping themselves here!

2 drops by Waller.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Feels like I am watching SLPL

You are not alone. With such poor crowd for opening match of a world cup involving the Home team is a big

BTW, only grassbanks seems to have filled with people

 

[Love Pakistan]

Donkey fielding by these minnows!!!

 

[786pk]

How many catches are zimbabwe going to drop

 

[TalhaSyed]

Adding insult to injury.

We see the first Dilscoop of T20 2012!

 

[Asif321]

wht happned to zim fielding .. they used to b good fielders

 

[shakil]

A score of around 170+ for Srilanka, I suppose

 

[TalhaSyed]

Sky Sports have given up on the match..they feel its more entertaining to show a picture of the ground

 

[Tridibans_16]

Zimbabwe are themselves to blame. Pathetic display in the field.

 

[asif9138]

very bad fielding..dilshan to score 100?

 

[leatherface58]

M dilshan out. Finally

 

[TalhaSyed]

) ) ) Zim get their first wicket in style

Hilarious run out!

51/1

 

[fight_club]

Anyone knows, Whether DRS is being used in world up?

 

[Executioner]

Finally a wicket

Anyways the crowd is PATHETIC!! YOU CALL THIS A HOME CROWD!!

BD and India are better venues for T20 WC. Even Aus would have decent crowds

 

[sada90]

waiting for upset but their fielding is pathethic

 

[Executioner]

From now onwards all the tickets should be free!

 

[Tridibans_16]

Finally a wicket

Anyways the crowd is PATHETIC!! YOU CALL THIS A HOME CROWD!!

BD and India are better venues for T20 WC. Even Aus would have decent crowds

But I dont want it to be filled. Otherwise they will start that annoying band baaja

 

[Executioner]

Watching zimbos fielding is as painful as watching Nasir, mushfiq and other tailenders batting and our pacers bowling in the death

 

[Executioner]

But I dont want it to be filled. Otherwise they will start that annoying band baaja

those stuffs are banned

No-wonder the stadium looks so quiet!

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Please move the remaining world cup to AUS, its not too far from SL.

 

[Sir john]

misfields hurting zim

 

[sada90]

Please move the remaining world cup to AUS, its not too far from SL.

reason??

 

[Sir john]

160 will be enough for zim

 

[asif9138]

got to bowl well

 

[Sir john]

chigumbara should bowl

 

[the Great Khan]

[razzler]

Can someone pm me a good stream
Thanks

 

[Executioner]

HAHAHA

jaya LBW but its a backfoot NOBALL!

 

[Green Leopard]

Jaya safe. Unlucky Zim

 

[asif9138]

i think his boot are inside the line??

 

[TalhaSyed]

I dont mind seeing the split screen, but i HATE the stupid camera angle that is used for free hits!

 

[asif9138]

bad luck to zim

 

[asif9138]

[asif9138]

[leatherface58]

i dont mind seeing the split screen, but i hate the stupid camera angle that is used for free hits!

+1

 

[iRfaN_LA]

reason??

poor crowd, bad weather, ugly grounds, plus we already had the ODI worldcup in SL last year.

 

[asif9138]

sanga in

 

[fight_club]

utterly disappointed with Zim's here pathetic fielding so far to add with backfoot no ball, I ask again,
Is DRS being used?

 

[Executioner]

I think lankans are too poor to afford DRS

 

[Sir john]

gone i think

 

[Sir john]

jaya out

poor running

 

[sada90]

he is gone wow

 

[Sir john]

poor price waterboy in this match

 

[Executioner]

Some really POOR cricket on display in this first match

I thought teams shouldve improved since the first T20 WC esp. after getting accustomed to the game. Utterly dissappointed

 

[Executioner]

poor price waterboy in this match

He has been in poor form. Got milked in the Practice matches makes no sense to play him

 

[kungfu90]

jaya out

poor running

Hi Sir John.
Tabiyat kaisi hai ?

 

[giri26]

I think the SL luck has run out. They were taking too many chances.

 

[Pakistani tigers]

Come on Zim!

 

[razzler]

Can someone pm me a good stream
Thanks

 

[Executioner]

Where is Muzhange? I thought he is the best death bowler in zimbabwe?

 

[TalhaSyed]

SL 86/3 after 12.1 Overs

 

[fight_club]

I think lankans are too poor to afford DRS

IT's ICC tournament and they decide, Searched on google but no clear answer. Some very poor Cricket on display in the match opener though Creamer in the middle of a good spell here.

 

[leatherface58]

Where is Muzhange? I thought he is the best death bowler in zimbabwe?

Can't decide whether that name is Lankan or Zimbabwean

 

[Sir john]

match now out of zim reach

 

[Justcrazy]

96 / 3

 

[Justcrazy]

The max Zim can chase is 150 .........

 

[leatherface58]

Wow cremer looks promising

 

[Sir john]

Where is Muzhange? I thought he is the best death bowler in zimbabwe?
