Cricket: International Discussion Thread

This significantly improves South Africa's chances of directly qualifying for the World Cup. Remember that they need to beat Netherlands 2-0 and have other results go their way, and so far this series is definitely going South Africa's way.
With NZ beating sri lanka that takes sri lanka out of the equation. SA just needs to beat holland 2-0(and avoid any slow overrate penalties)and Bangladesh needs to win 1 of their games at home to Ireland. The chances of Ireland whitewashing Bangladesh in Bangladesh is very remote. Provided we do our job vs holland , we should get there.
 
Second ODI between NZ & SL washed out without even so much as a toss taking place. SL's participation in the CWC now hangs by a thread with their fate out of their hands. They will need to beat NZ in the third and final ODI and hope we drop a game against the Netherlands.
 
The chances of Ireland whitewashing Bangladesh in Bangladesh is very remote.

Not that it should make much difference but the Ireland - Bangladesh games are in Ireland.

The weather forecast looks decent for Centurion so hopefully no drama.

The Afghanis have had a nice qualification run - 9 of their 11 wins coming against Netherlands, Zimbabwe and Ireland (3 times each). Nice to be a big minnow.

...then again we did lose to Ireland somewhere in there :coffee:
 
Good fightback from Ireland in their test against Bangladesh. From 51/5 to 263/7. A slender lead of 108 runs
 
Four individual hundreds scored in Sri Lanka's colossal 591/6 decl in only test against Ireland, who are in early strife at 27/2 in reply
