Sri Lanka may be in trouble as their match against Holland may well be rained off.

+1 for calling them 'Holland'. Proper 1996 World Cup vibes.
That's a great picture.
The last 2 overs of the Australia v India game sound like they were quite funny.
This stuff is the absolute pits. A new low for world sport. (from the cricinfo live text)
Netherlands captain Scott Edwards can no longer contain his smiles sitting in the stands at Geelong watching this chase unfold. A UAE win puts Netherlands into the Super 12s. It's a moment he's not going to soon forget. Is it a Crictos moment?

That is just random words put together. I can't fathom what the fuck they're going on about. So it's definitely got Indian fingers all over it.
A recent nugget from the Grade Cricketer episode with Harsha Bhogle was that Alan Wilkins has lost a load of money in BitCoin. I can’t quite put my finger on it but that just seems perfect.
impressive of namibia to fuck up qualifying after beating sri lanka
It means we have to face Sri Lanka and maybe West Indies in our group. What could possibly go wrong etc.
Oh god yes. Alan Wilkins is like a poster boy for all the worst aspects of 21st century life. Fuck knows how, but he is.
West Indies are fucking terrible. It's quite sad listening to the pain in Ian Bishop's voice.
New Zealand pieing the Aussies around in akit, enjoying this opener to the main section.
Yeah, was going to come in and say that if they've managed to roll out classic Aussie [read hellishly flat] pitches for this tournament then there are going to be some serious scores.
Kiwi kit is a beauty.
That Warner dismissal, two minutes after snarling aggressively at Boult for no reason, was a thing of real beauty. A vile man who deserves only misery and failure.
Kit is a travesty.
Is it supposed to be ironic on purpose? I can't tell these days.
I see the Saudi regime sportswashing outfit Aramco has finally wormed its way into cricket.
Ten balls in and Pakistan have yet to hit the ball once. Asian players remain utterly clueless against any kind of lateral movement.
Ashwin on brand there.
More brilliant nonsense from Pakistan.
Absolutely nothing like Pakistan pacemen coming at India defending a possibly substandard total. Utter mayhem.
Naseem Shah's bowling action must be the prettiest in world cricket.
Harris Rauf = WHEELS
Successfully effecting a run out despite botching both parts of it. This is peak Pakistan.
Begrudgingly, those last two sixes from Kohli were stunning. This would be a classic Pakistan bottlejob if India pull this off.
It's just been a brilliant game, the best of what T20 can deliver when it's balanced between bat and ball rather than a slogfest.
Kohli will cry about the new no-cross rule if they don’t do this. Karthik’s helmet is the worst I’ve ever seen.
That’s never a no ball.
Nawaz has completely lost his head here. Shaheen has probably lost them the game with his poor 18th over.
Absolute guesswork to say it was a no ball. It might have been, but pure guess to call it.That’s never a no ball.
Carnage out here. 3 runs from being bowled.
I hate the fact you basically get 2 free hits from a no ball in ODIs and T20s. Makes no sense whatsoever.
The lack of nerve from Nawaz in that last over was amazing. Two wides, a noey and another one that was nearly a noey. Without that Pakistan win easily.
When he got it right, India were floundering too. Got Pandya out, bowled Kohli on the free hit, cramped up Karthik to get him out.
He also gave away 3 sixes in his 3rd over earlier in the innings too.
That was predictably insane. I could rock up to any random A1 Taxis vs. Waterloo News T20 on a Wednesday night down the local rec and see pretty much the same amount of cricketing nouse. The only difference is that the pros hit it a bit further and bowl a bit quicker.
Thrilling match. Kohli’s six down the ground on the penultimate ball of the 19th was unreal.
Feel they should have slipped in Nawaz in the 18th.
I think I agreed with the captain on when he bowled the bowlers, they just all let him down to varying degrees. Afridi and Rauf's respective final balls were leg side shit, and Nawaz barely had his action for half the over.
It's been a cracking tournament so far, have to say.
Interesting if the level of rain they are playing in here sets the standard for what is acceptable going forward.
It won't, they just love getting results, especially if it involves a 'big' side winning.
No dice. Bad luck South Africa. Bit farcical really.
It wouldn't be a World Cup without a wobble against Ireland or Netherlands.
We're ballsed if it rains soon.
Hands loik pats o'butter in de field. We've got this.
EDIT: We haven't got this.
Well done.
I'm just trying to see how far I have to go before Giggles enters the cricket thread.
We love dropping our standards to the opposition's level. Batted like twats against Afghanistan and again today. Then we'll go and destroy Australia on Friday.
Just seen we've got Joel Wilson as umpire in the Australia game.
We're toast here. Carnage in this group especially if NZ and Afghanistan get rained off subsequently.
It's what we get for being so scratchy at the top of the order today. Having said that, I think we'd have got home fairly comfortably in the end if we got the full 20 overs in.
That's no excuse. We knew weather was around. Moeen should have gone in at four.
I'm afraid you'll need to do a lot more marbles in the mouth for the cricket team. Think Leinstor rogby with a bit of loyalist sprinkled in.
Pros rarely play for weather, in my experience, which is utterly mental. I spent most of my club captaincy career looking at radars and changing batting orders accordingly.
