Sri Lanka's chances at the World Twenty20 have suffered a huge blow after offspinner Muttiah Muralitharan was ruled out of the tournament with a groin injury. He has been advised two to three weeks' rest, and no replacement has been named yet

[shoe boy]

Just cant get into this form of the game!
Just finished the IPL and now this and the more I see the more I dislike.. 20/20 is so close to baseball and with Tait bowling he wouldnt be out of place pitching on a mound.

Team news

Johnson is an uncertain starter after he left training on Tuesday to have medical treatment on an infection in his right elbow. "He could probably play if it was the World Cup final tomorrow, but there's a lot of the tournament to go," the team physio Alex Kountouris told AAP. That means Ryan Harris should be included for his first match after making a last-minute dash to the Caribbean to replace the injured Brett Lee. Nathan Hauritz, the offspinner, was left out of the opening match and should stay on the sidelines, especially if the pitch looks like helping the fast bowlers. Even if Johnson proves fit, Harris is an outside chance to come in, probably at the expense of Steven Smith. "With our squad we have the potential to change the team for conditions," the captain Michael Clarke said. "If conditions suit another fast bowler in Barbados, I don't see why not."

Could you imagine Thommo or DK missing a match with an infected elbow?

[Media Park]

some of these rain delays/rain affected results are bloody farcical.

you can't call this a world cup of any sorts.

[overloaded]

not even worth commenting on this hit and giggle carp!

I agree this T20 WC is really dying in the arse with all this.

FWIW, we play our next game against Bangladesh (needing just a minor loss to advance to the Super 8's) tonight/Thursday morning at 2:15am.

We're currently 5/59 in the 12th over.

We ended up beating Bangladesh by about 20 runs. We play India next.
