Kenya v Sri Lanka, T20 WC, Johannesburg, 14th Sept

No one, absolutely no one, bashes minnows as well as Sri Lanka.

My word.... absolutely stunning total... regardless of the opposition.

Worthy of a 50 over game total

Kenya 0-1..off the 3rd ball..It's happening again....as they said in Twin Peaks

Mubarak was one hit away from the fastest 50 in T20 or 50-over's. Awesome hitting.

Who wants to guess Kenya's total?

I'm going to go for 83 all out.

Aye. But what a score. Will probably be the record for a while.

But seriously... my Caynty would've done better than that. What're they doin there? Utter pants.

Absolutely work themselves into a frenzy at the chance to set a record against 3rd class teams . . .

Jayasuriya getting me a butt-load of points here. Just taken a wicket.

Pathetic really. They shut up shop trying to have a modicon of 'respectability' by not getting bowled out.

FFS how is it possible to be so crap you can lose by 170 runs in a 20 over game?

Humpings like that should only happen in schoolboy, not international cricket

Or more JKL! I'm not sure... how's it supposed to be gauged? I mean, they are supposedly one of the better associates.... they usually do OK versus other nations. Out of the 4, I'd have picked them possibly second favourites to cause an upset. TBH, I think they got a tough group with SL and NZ, both take their hit-and-giggles quite seriously.

The two Test-playing nations not likely to let up against a minnow, for sure . . .

Yeah. They take it as if they're playing a proper team. Particularly in SL's case they're just thinking "records... averages.... milestones" when a normal team would be think "Oh FFS, we've gotta play these jokers? Yawnsville".

How the hell did Kenya take six Lankan wickets!

Because the Lankans were going for the record and kept holeing out.

FFS get Jayasuriya on to bowl!

Is that why you're disappointed by Kenya's cricket? I just thought you supported the underdogs.

88-9 effectively all-out with an injury.

Farking carp prediction. Geddaway from 'ere.

I do. Especially against the minnow-bashers.

I reckon Direbyshire would give SL a better game. Thats how far these muppets are away from test cricket.
