Switched randomly to the SL v WI match in the WC qualifying tournament.
(Understand WI are out ...)
And a SL bowler is doing the side arm Malinga thing but about 10km/s faster.
Looks quite dangerous.
In terms of taking wickets AND collecting peeps in the helmet.
Raises a question about how low you can sling the arm.
Is getting dangerously close to "under arm", whilst still presenting a bit of a threat.
Any thoughts?

@booboo He does look like a bit of a nightmare to bat against.
Just skimming https://www.lords.org/mcc/the-laws-of-cricket/no-ball - presumably it's okay so long as the arm remains straight when it is supposed to be... and I'm seeing no specific references to round arm, so maybe it's okay going as low as horizontal/so long as it doesn't look like underarm (21.3)?

Sri Lanka and Netherlands qualified for the CWC.
Windies won't be there, which is a mighty shame, but they didn't get close. Ireland didn't even get out of the initial pool stage. Zimbabwe and Scotland miss out to the Netherlands on run rate.
Sri Lanka unbeaten in their pool and Super sixes. They play Netherlands in the final. They've got a couple of strange bowlers.

Waddle is awesome - what a fantastic effort to get him out of retirement. Ditto Smithy - radio should supersede TV (once again) for quality commentary.

@Donsteppa Judging by the comments Indian cricket supporters don't get the concept of irony.
Not that this should be an earth-shaking new revelation.

My go to when I get bored on FB cricket pages is to point out that Kane Williamson averages more than every single Test batsman in Indian history.
That certainly winds them up.

Just clicked through Foxtel to Chick's 100 comp.
Weather as weird as fuck.
Started off in fog like a Super Rugby final.

Markram 106/176 in SA 2nd innings.

Markham almost broke the Bannerman.
Other cool stats heard on Final Word:
- Elgar dismissed twice on first day of his last test.
- Stubbs dismissed twice on first day of his test debut.
- first time ever a team batting 3rd passed their first innings score before the end of the first day.
