ICC World Twenty20

Dougie was up and down in the Big Bash IIRC, not that Nannes was unplayable by any stretch of the imagination.
Good call on Brett Lee though. Knows how to bowl at the death by bowling full and wide and more often that not delivers. Great in the field and can swing a bat with the best tailenders going around.

See thats why I don't get the Bollinger one (not that he will play but still..), Nannes is always fairly tight in terms of economy I guess. Lee is not a bad bet, that said I have no idea whether he ruled himself out though, although he is playing IPL so surely he is available. Lee would a good bet though, Bollinger makes less and less sense!

Bollinger won't even play barring injury.

Faulkner, Starc, Coulter-Nile

Extraordinary. Dutch player has gone on youtube saying the Dutch Cricket Board cheated to replace him with another.

[The Speaker]

That other being Tom Cooper.

The Dutch should've been able to bring in Cooper if they so wished. They should not have bullied Gruijters into doing something like this.

Almost certainly true.

There really needed to be a mechanism by which the Dutch could select Cooper.

He's game. Hope he doesn't regret having ruined his international prospects.

 

[Kyptastic]

He's game. Hope he doesn't regret having ruined his international prospects.

Given the Dutch have lost their ODI status, there's really not that much of a prospect to lose.

 

[BluesMan]

Woah, thats pretty big of him. But good on him.

Even so, still doesn't change the fact that I think the selectors have made an error here.

I still have a memory of Gayle hitting Lee's slot bowling over the stands at the Oval. No thanks.

This has been a quite enjoyable game between Ireland and Zimbabwe. Going down to the wire.

 

[DardySingh360]

You've gotta worry when Zimbabwe vs Ireland T20 gets 10,000 and a test would struggle to get 1,000 in Bangladesh

 

[Rob]

Well that was nearly the choke of the century.

 

[Ron]

Holy shit that last ball, that poor Irish batsman got smashed by the fieldsmen lol

 

[DardySingh360]

Forceful contact below the knees. 3 weeks, 2 with an early guilty plea

 

[Alesana]

How does a super over play out?

 

[DardySingh360]

How does a super over play out?

It's like a mini match. Each team gets 1 over with two wickets in hand.

I think Hong Kong vs Nepal drew 10,000 lol

To be honest if it means Associates are playing in front of 10k, I'm okay with it.

 

[brucetiki]

The Irish with another full member (albeit Zimbabwe) scalp on St Patricks Day

 

[Milang_Panthers]

Geez boundary looks miles in from the fence there. Not a bad start by the UAE

 

[The Speaker]

[Milang_Panthers]

Cooper 2 wickets in an over!!!

What are the actual attendance figures in Bangladesh?

I thought they had an india-like passion for the game?
