always like upsets.

I think Geelong is a high scoring venue. If so, NAM will try to go hard from ball 1 (but SL has a good attack)

If SL loses, it is likely to end up in Group 2 with Ind, Pak, & BD (sub Asia Cup in the group)

This group (A) has NAM, NED, SL, & UAE.

Spinner opening in the first over of the World Cup! 
 

Reminds me of Martin Crowe bowling Deepak Patel bowling against Aus in 1992.

1 down … bounce in the wkt … batsman tried to play on the leg … edge went to the 3rd man

Looks like a talented youngster

Considering the recent form of SL, they should be dominating the first round easy .. going good for them so far..

1st 6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SL is looking ordinary so far … NAM not intimidated at all despite losing a couple of wkts

NAM (Erasmus) getting stuck there but the team is not used to playing in Aus 

 

May be get Weissa in 

[zen]

 Not much turn too … A better quality batting unit could have taken SL to cleaners here 

 

Outfield is not too fast though

Erasmus gone trying to hit a 6 … He was struggling to get going so not a bad wkt to lose (unless other NAM batsmen are even worse) 

[rageaddict]

Namibia going over run a ball but need more , maybe a score of around 150+ minimum to challenge the Lankans.

[ipl is fun]

Is Chamika the Harshal of SL?
