16th Match, Group A - Victoria v Wayamba @ Centurion

[surendar]

It should be an easy match for Victoria. If Wayamba can create any upsets today, battle in this division would become interesting. For that miracle to happen, Mahela has to get his prime form back!

Oh cricinfo fixed the preview it had "Warren Hastings" in the expected lineups earlier in the day instead of john Hastings

Supporting Wayamba for this game. Make it easy for CSK please.

Wayamba had earlier upseted Victoria but could not make it to the Super 8. They must be ready for seething revenge. Victoria can easily win this but Wayamba needs Mahela back and Perera and Mendis should perform better.

Opted for Patto over McGain. I think that's a sensible call looking at the pitch and it's already paid off.

 

[Biggy]

They are losing their Wayamba here. Oh no I didn't!

 

[angryangy]

Clearly, Jayawardena hasn't washed in a week and all the Wayamba batsmen are desperate to get away from him.

Oh no, the smell. They're all going to have to deal with it now.

A bit surprising to see that Wayamba beat Victoria previous year: 10th Match, Group D: Victoria v Wayamba at Delhi, Oct 13, 2009 | Cricket Scorecard | Cricinfo.com

Wayamba reached back then a total of 118-9. They're almost near that target.

Easily the worst team in this tournament.

 

[angryangy]

Cursed by inconsistency. They have more quality players than Guyana, but nothing really makes up for being bowled out in 16 and a half overs. Your bad players have to be competent.

Good bowling though. They pitched up a lot, bowled at the stumps, got the rewards. Not a good pitch for the short ball, either.

 

[Biggy]

AHAH, that dive..love a Sri Lankan dive.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Here is the current situation Victoria is in. They can make themselves a bit easier if they reach that target within the required overs. Only 107 runs needed for the victory. With Finch, Hodge and David Hussey in the side they should go for it.

'If Victoria win this game in eight overs, their net run-rate will equal Warriors'.'

A South African girl just blew a kiss to me through the camera.

A South African girl just blew a kiss to me through the camera.

What did you do in return? Read a BBC article back to her? State the blindingly obvious?

 

[ZexyZahid]

The way Victoria is going it seems they just want to win the match. Then they've got to hope that Warriors will beat Chennai.

 

[angryangy]

Having bowled Wayamba out, they'll get a easy run rate boost, but if they're clever, they might get the last 20-30 runs quickly.

Perfect, bowlers gave them a little help and they got their run rate up over 8.
