And that folks is how modern day batsmen have inflated batting averages.

[blink]

I can't believe Sri Lanka were 9 down after that. Considering the quality of the opposition I would have thought that 4 or 5 down would have been respectable. They can't use the excuse that they were going for it either, because when Jayasuria was out, they were 4/291 with about 20 overs to go...

Yes - I hear a mockery callin

[MightyEagles]

If Holland was playing Australia, they would not make it to 248.

[heater31]

dont they play on grounds smaller than Nairobi ??? play on a real cricket ground and see how ya go.

[blink]

Even John Howard could put one of those Dutch bowlers pies in the carpark on the minute ovals they play on over there....

[scott]

That's bullcrap. South Africa made the highest score against the best team in the world. Sri Lanka get it now against a team equal to an Australian U12 state team's 15th XI.

When does Australia get their chance to tackle Holland over there?
