players are more to blame

[Villan For Life]

NZ are doing an England, 23-4. They're mesmerised by Herath who's just bowled a double wicket maiden.

[PGW]

What a game though between Black Caps and Sri Lanka who were all out for 119, game over you would think they way NZ can bat.
Then Brendon McCallum and Ross Taylor Neeshan all go for ducks 23-4 Herath three wickets, superb stuff.
Also Corey Anderson won't bat cos of dislocated finger!!!
Herath 2 overs 2 maidens 3 wkts

There's a claim on Twitter that consecutive wicket maidens has never happened before in T20

Fantastic bowling by Herath 4- 1

Although I've never really took to T20, I do enjoy a special performance by a bowler or a batsman.

I'm the same, I can't get worked up about a game of hit and run but really enjoyed the Sri Lanka v New Zealand game, the low scoring games tend to be the more exciting.

[Villan For Life]

Between them, Herath and Senanayake bowled 6.3 overs and took 7 for 6

Herath 3.3-2-3-5
Senanayake 3-0-3-2

Stunning figures.

Hmmmm... I think the ICC betting panel need to check this one out!

[olaftab]

Just listened to the Sri Lankan national anthem ....it's sounds like a Finnish entry to the Eurovision Song contest!!!!!

It sounds like England play cricket!

[olaftab]

I have deliberately waited before i offered my views on this debacle as i wanted to give a constructive, well thought opinions, well i have now recovered and will put my views into print!

FOR FUCK'S SAKE THIS IS SIMPLY NOT FUCKIN GOOD ENOUGH YOU SPINELESS BUNCH OF TOSSERS, FOR FUCK'S SAKE DEFEAT TO FUCKIN NETHERLANDS NOT ONCE BUT FUCKIN TWICE.
IT'S A FUCKIN DISGRACE.
FIELDING - DISGRACEFUL, BOWLING - DISGRACEFUL, BATTING - ESPESCIALLY IN THIS GAME DISGRACEFUL!!!
TALK ABOUT A WINTER OF DISCONTENT!!!!

I regard this as very constructive and well thought through opinion

I wonder how the ecb will blame this on KP...

In spite of the joke it's a reasonable point, the way the ECB dealt with the Ashes debacle suggested that it was pretty much solely KP's fault. They're going to struggle to blame the lack of spirit and desire on him now.

I meant it in both ways, he was clearly made the scapegoat for the ashes regardless of what they said, he was never the main problem though, just an easy target.
