Namibia come in with experience in the middle order, and a deep batting line-up.

They have a fairly settled middle order, with Erasmus set to bat there, and the experienced David Wiese likely to play the finishing role. [Divan la Cock](http://www.espncricinfo.com/player/divan-la-cock-1178065)comes into the side, and will be partnered at the top of the order by Michael van Lingen, with Stephan Baard set to bat at No.

The ball clips the top-edge and flies to the third-man field. It’s a little bit slower and something in the air. The unknown factor of exactly how the wicket will play and a bit of over head conditions. It’s a first game, we’d like to have a look at the wicket. Shanaka leads the talks in the Sri Lanka huddle before they take the field. He does some late shuffling to ensure the ball doesn’t get through to the stumps and instead lobs over it for a couple of runs. Madushan keeps it tight around the stumps and the batters rotate strike with three singles. A cracking pick-up shot as Chameera strays to the pads. Erasmus and Baard experiment with their shots against Theekshana and gathers three twos in the over. Short from Hasaranga and Erasmus falls to his backfoot but fails to power it past the deep mid-wicket fielder. Namibia moves past 100 and Fylinck would hope to stay till the end to lead his side towards a respectable total. Namibia reviews and loses it as the replays flicker three reds.

Is There A Namibian Storm Headed For Australia? - Emerging Cricket (Emerging Cricket)

All the way back in early 2003, an old pre-tournament supplement for the South African World Cup from a cricket magazine described the coming of a “Namibian ...

But now Namibia will have to repeat the trick they performed in the last T20 World Cup. Different tactics from their last campaign, but they would always have to be different this time around. There’s a new coach in Heinrich Malan, a spin coach in Nathan Hauritz, some new faces, more focus on their bowling roles and how this will work in Australian conditions, and an overall more attacking approach. Namibia’s success at the previous T20 World Cup will have to be put behind them. Gerhart Erasmus would describe their team as ‘a tight ship’, leading Jarrod Kimber to go even further and call it “the good ship Namibia.” Where would they sail next? However Namibia’s performance in the competition never really matched up to the hype.

All of Saint Lucia had come out to see me and Johnson Charles, it was special.We had a motorcade from the south of the island all the way to the north. The way we played in the final in 2012 and my own personal performance, that really changed the way the guys looked at me as a leader. After the opening game of the inaugural ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in 2007, we thought ‘wow, this game is tailor-made for us West Indians.’Dwayne Bravo and I would talk about creating a legacy. That is both a testament to the fortitude of these swimmers, as well as a product of the hard work of the KWA coaching staff, headed by Manoj Abeysinghe. This year’s champion in the Men’s category, the seasoned and well-experienced SL Army Aquatics, won the title by just 12 points, highlighting a hard-fought battle between the two teams which served as a call back to the days of intense rivalry between SL Navy Aquatics and KWA that spearheaded Sri Lankan swimming’s rapid growth in the early 2010s. The previous tax order was for 10.29 %, levied on the 2016 Twenty20 World Cup which India hosted and the liability, to the tune of USD 23.5 million, was adjusted in India’s share of the ICC revenue. “The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 was scheduled to be held in India but was shifted to UAE & Oman in the middle of this year due to Covid 19 pandemic related reasons. The BCCI further states that the increased tax outlay means higher loss of income for the board as the cost will have to be borne by the BCCI. The BCCI is currently working with the Ministry of Finance, Government of India and have represented against this 20% (excluding surcharges) tax order at the very highest level and are hopeful that a 10% (excluding surcharges) tax order would be forthcoming shortly,” the note points out. “It will be subject to the clearance of the Government of India as always,” said a BCCI official maintaining the oft-repeated position. They have got decent momentum as well ahead of the World Cup having beaten Zimbabwe in a series and earlier this week overcame a strong Ireland side in a warm-up game. Having cruised past world’s number one ranked and number two ranked teams on their way to win the Asia Cup, a team like Namibia should be of little concern for Sri Lanka.
