Kenya v http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 Live match update- ICC World Cup 2011
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Collins-c51521 Obuya and David Obuya have revived the Kenyan innings, as they have steered their side to 83 for 2 in 26 overs against Sri Lanka at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.
The Obuya brothers have shared a 75-run third wicket partnership and have rescued their team from an early devastation. The pair has set a solid foundation for the late-order willowers to launch their attack.
Earlier http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kenya-c752 was off to a dismal start, as they were reduced to 8 for 2 in 2.1 overs. They lost both their openers for single-digit scores. Their opening batsmen, Seren Waters, and, Maurice Ouma, failed to make an impression with the bat and both of them fell in a space of just 13 deliveries.
Collins and David were there to stay and played resiliently to counter the opposition bowlers. The senior Obuya is nearing his half-century, while the younger brother has also looked good for his unbeaten 28-run innings. One of these players have to register three figures, as it will help their team in piling up more than just a competitive total.
Lasith Malinga, who is back in the side after missing the first two games for his team, showed why he is the spearhead of the Sri Lankan bowling attack. Malinga’s stump-castling yorkers kept opposition willowers on their toes, as they knew that a toe-crusher will have their shoes repaired.
Furthermore, he picked up the important wicket of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Seren-Waters-c89209 with a brilliant yorker. The delivery swung into Seren in the air at a lively speed and went through his defences to rattle the stumps.
Nuwan Kulasekara replicated Glenn McGrath, as the Sri Lankan bowler bowled every single delivery in the corridor of uncertainty. In his six-over telling spell, the right-arm bowler only conceded 9 runs and picked up the important wicket of Ouma.
The visitors are playing too slow, as they are scoring runs at just over 3 runs an over. They have to play their shots freely in order to raise the scoring-rate and for that matter to set the opposition a challenging target.
