20:20 World Cup

[Yorkshire Blue]

Chris Gayle is having fun.

 

[Vange Shrimper]

Do they really need the dancers there?

Good entertainment for the first match, but a WIndies fielding & bowling performance which was pitiful in the extreme.

For winners I can't see beyond the convicts adding this to their World Cup & also the being the best Test match side.

it just finished with the south africans winning, west indies completely shot themselves in the foot with very poor fielding. great entertainment though with plenty of 6's.

Good start to the 20/20. I have a sneaky feeling India are going to win this.

different story today though after last nights great game. today its new zealand v keyna. at one point keyna were 0-3. currently 37-5 with 9 overs gone. new zealand are walking to victory.

I have a sneaky feeling India won't win this, for similar reasons as to why West Indies lost last night.

New Zealand thrashed Kenya.

New Zealand 74-1 (7.4 overs) beat Kenya 73 (16.5 overs) by nine wickets.

I think Scotland beat them in a play off to qualify as the 12th nation taking part.

Come on Scotland! Pakistan are 151/7... quite a lot of runs, but perhaps a gettable scoreline in the context of this tournament...?

Its a gettable score, but not by Scotland.

It won't be quite as good a batting pitch as Jo'burg plus Durban is a port and so will be presumably at sea-level. The ball seems to go a lot further in the air at altitude.

Why is there a woman commentating?!

It just aint cricket!!

Sadly true... 120 all out. Oh well, here's hoping the Scots fare better in Paris this evening (although I don't buy Domenech's comments that the Scots are favourites...)

C'mon Zimbabwe. Convicts 12-2

 

[Grayson]

19-3! Ponting gone too :hilarious:

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Make that 19-3. The big one as well. Ponting out.

Coco the clown set to be joined by Hussey.

Australia stuggle to reach 137-9 off their 20 overs!
