Sri Lanka could use a wicket but anything is chase able in 50 over cricket these days

[Bill Manspeaker]

Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh test on. SO MUCH EXCITEMENT OMG

Am I surprised that Shakib scored over 30% of Banga's runs and has 3 of the 5 wickets, having bowled 23 of a possible 42 overs to this point? No not really.


Also, James Anderson not touring Sri Lanka, out with injury, so being taken good care of before he leads England's bowling attack to a World Cup Semi Final :)

[PowerBug]

"Shakib is only the third player overall after Imran Khan and Ian Botham to score a hundred and take 10 wickets in the same match"

Pretty good effort

[Bill Manspeaker]

Shikhar Dhawan is in some ripping form. hopefully using up all his runs before the world cup ;D

terrible running there though

[The_Captain]

I see Nz are dealing with the same as what Australia were.. Tough toss to lose taht one!
