T20 WC - Round 1

Erasmus doing a Thala.

[vvvslaxman]

Ireland is a bowler down which is a blow. That guy pulled his side. In that pain he didn't care for going for  a plumb lbw review. Then ball clattered the stumps and bail didn't fall.

That and that opening batsman of theirs who bowls off spin and looks like a potato got injured too. 

 

This simi Singh was the one who got the sl innings going in the last match in the power play. Guess they have no option.

All said and done. None of the Namebia batsmen looked out of place. Not all of them may be great strikers. But they are no slouches. They do have some experience.  They can compete with associate sides alright.

This is the first time Namibia has qualified for the T20 WC and, they are also making their way into the Round of 12.

They're Pakistan. There's no such thing called 'favorite' when it comes to them. When they are destined to **** the bed, they'll **** the bed.. 

Same can be said about Kohli's India, or South Africa. Any team can choke on a given day. They are more equipped than Aus, or Eng, or SA.

And lol at them being favorites. Their batting is decent but bowling is horse crap. Worse than Sri Lanka's and probably at BD's level. 

Sri Lanka has just Hasranga; Chameera is average, Bangladesh has Mustafizur and Shakib, Taskin is average, Pak has Shaheen and Shadab; Imad is average. How exactly are those two better?

I am glad i saw this match. This is a historical moment of sorts 

[rageaddict]

Wiese is a beast. In a professional system like India , he could have been as good as Pandu.

I really hope Namibia poaches all the white cricketers from South Africa in the future and turns into a world class team while at the same time thrashing the South African quota XIs into oblivion? Would be a sight to behold... 

 

Whatd ya say @New guy ? 

New guy ll support them if they are 4"5 like sachin. Unfortunately they are tall so I am excited to see what he has to say now 

[Norman]

Some emotions from the Namibian players.. 

[speedheat]

Crickinfo lists Ruben Trumpelmann as a left-arm fast, what is his bowling speed?

It will be net run rate which might get to decide semi finalists. The bigger the thumping the teams can give to scot and nam the better their chances. O btw india plays last. So india will know all

perm and combination and their last match is against namibia

No. Same cannot be said about Kohli's India. We choke only in a knockout game not a low profile game against substandard sides. poyzz recently lost 3-0 to reserve England Lions. They can definitely lose to one of Sco/Namibia. 

 

They only have shaheen who himself is nothing too special after his initial spell in the power play. Shadab, Rauf, Hasan Ali etc  are as mediocre as Chameera, Kumara, Mahedi, Taskin etc..

England lions are better than Namibia at least.

 

When was the last time they were beaten by a minnow in ICC events. The last major upset we have seen in a World Cup was in 2011, Ire vs England.

I didn't say they will beat poyzz. Just said, they're the more likely of the two (Ireland and Namibia) to upset one of Pak/NZ. Of course poyzz should be winning on paper.
