wesay ehsan bhai dont you think that everyone has been underpinning Sri Lankas world cup chances before the cup started? I think they are the top performers so far, even if that means they thrashed the minnows, but they did it in style…
Kenya awarded points for New Zealand game
JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - The International Cricket Council (ICC) has rejected New Zealand’s request to switch their World Cup Group B match against Kenya and awarded the points to the home team.
The ICC executive board refused to reschedule Friday’s game from Nairobi to South Africa, ruling that the venue was safe despite New Zealand’s security concerns.
It added that four points have been awarded to Kenya because “New Zealand has decided not to travel to Kenya or apply to the event technical committee”.
“I am happy that the matter is now resolved and that the ICC Cricket World Cup can move forward,” ICC chief executive Malcolm Speed said in a statement on Thursday.
“At the same time, we have already seen some fantastic matches in this tournament and I am disappointed that this match will not be taking place.”
An ICC spokesman told Reuters: “Today’s decision is the final word on the matter. NZC had representation at today’s meeting and said they would not be applying to the technical committee.”
New Zealand’s fears were fuelled by a bombing in Mombasa in November which killed 16 people, but their request to move the match to an alternative venue was opposed by the Kenya Cricket Association (KCA).
New Zealand Cricket (NZC) has already warned it could appeal to the Court of Arbitration in Lausanne, and is well aware that the match forfeit could prevent its team from progressing to the Super Six stage of the tournament.
GROUP LEADERS
Sri Lanka top the Group B standings with 12 points, while New Zealand are joint second with Kenya on eight, having won two of their first three games.
New Zealand can now only hope for a maximum of 16 points by the end of the group phase, leaving them open to being passed by West Indies or South Africa.
The New Zealand team, who play their next World Cup match against Bangladesh in Kimberley on Wednesday, were practising in Durban on Thursday.
The ICC executive board, which considered NZC’s request in a teleconference, comprised ICC president Malcolm Gray, ICC vice-president Ehsan Mani, the presidents of the 10 full-member nations and three representatives of associate member countries.
The application was heard by the executive board because NZC’s original advice that it would not play in Kenya was made before the start of the tournament and before the event’s technical committee came into being.
NZC reconfirmed its request to the ICC for the match to be moved on Saturday, the same day England were forced to forfeit a Group A game against Zimbabwe after tournament officials rejected their security concerns over playing in Harare.
New Zealand will regret this ONE point they could have taken with them in the super sixes round. This point can cost them a place in the Semi Finals.
South Africa V Bangladesh
Bangladesh 108 all out off 35.1 overs. The misery continues.

Brother Spock, I'm always watching the Canadian team. Today my joy knows no bounds. I think the hurt that Inzi and Yoyo inflicted upon my person has been wiped out.
My Pakistani brothers, I have a business proposal for you folk. I am willing to part with my Canadian batsmen so that you Pakistanis can throw out your good for nothing so-called "batsmen" and substitute them with my country fellows. There is one little condition; we also want to ship off some of our other favourite Canucks, namely Stockwell Day and Celine (nasal) Dion as part of the package deal.
What do you say? Good offer, eh.
Great Performance By Canada...
Great Performance by Canada in the match against West Indies. Specially John Davison..... 67 balls 100.... 7 fours and 6 sixes... it s the same side which scored 36 against the sri lankans..... and they were superb against West Indies. Davison completed his century after hitting a SIX... and he scored the fastest Century ever scored in the World Cup...
how do u guys see this team?
Re: Great Performance By Canada…
You should remain thisthread to “Great Performance By John Davison” because other than him the whole Canadian team sucked.They should have scored 270-280.
Great Job John Davison :k: :k:
good job by canada. I think Canada is doing much better than Pakistan. I guess it is bad luck for Pakistan.
they lost after worse bowlin

Wow. That was some upset. Nearly as bad as Pakistan losing to England.
Who could've imagined that after 4 matches played by all teams, KENYA would be on top in the group with South Africa struggling at number 4th in the same pool?.
Thats cricket for you. :)
