Tim David now ruled out of the group stages of the Aussie games, has not fully recovered.

Good selections made for this Cup NOT

Where did you read/hear David will be out of the group stage games? I only read he'll miss the game against Ireland at this stage and I listened to a interview he did on the Unplayable Podcast on Monday and he said he's been training as per normal and he's ready to go the medical staff are just holding him back.

Was a eelease made on one of the network pages covering the tournament but i now see that Marsh has ruled him out of the Ireland game but also said "We'll certainly see him come back into contention over the next few games," Marsh said of David

Sorry it took so long to reply but this site is stuffed

Games for today/night

4.00pm South Africa Vs Afghanistan - Africans have been sent in.
8.00pm The Aussies start their campaign playing Ireland, certainly not a walk up start for the Aussies but should win
Midnight England Vs West Indies, could be an interesting contest this one, wouldnt surprise me if the Windies got over the line

Half way mark in the Sfricans innings 1/98

deKock 48* (31)

Rashid Khan turns the game on its ear, still a star performer

Sfricans crusing at 1/126, Rashid gets 2 in an over and both deKock and Rickelton back in tghe sheds

3/127 in the 12th

[locky801]

Good fight back by the Afghans, limited Sfricans to 6/197 when 230 looked on

Just dont think the Afghans have the batting cattle to chase this down against the Sfricans attack

[locky801]

Afghans off to an absolute flyer

0/50 after 4

[locky801]

Ngidi soon changed that 2/51 after 5

Mitch Marsh is out of Australia's T20 World Cup opener after suffering a serious blow to the groin area, with Steve Smith on his way to Sri Lanka as cover for the men's T20 captain.

Travis Head will lead the side against Ireland in Marsh's absence, as he did in the first T20 in Pakistan last month, with his fellow opener requiring a period of rest and rehabilitation.

It leaves Marsh in doubt for the team's second match on the tournament against Zimbabwe in just two days' time, with Australia down to just 12 fit players for tonight's clash with Ireland in Colombo (beginning at 8.30pm AEDT).

Marsh was hit in groin area while receiving sidearm throw downs from one of Australia's assistant coaches during Australia's training session on Sunday, immediately exiting the net for treatment.

Cricket Australia confirmed 15 minutes before the toss at R. Premadasa Stadium that Marsh would miss the match, joining big-hitting star Tim David on the sidelines as he recovers from a hamstring injury.

"He is experiencing ongoing pain and discomfort which is restricting his movement," CA said in a statement.

"Scans have confirmed internal testicular bleeding and he will require a period of rest and rehabilitation. His return to play will be guided by symptom resolution and medical advice.

Tight finish to the Afghanistan v South Africa game, first ball of the last over is a no ball wicket with Afghanistan needing 13 off 6 lol.

Massive choke on from SA here. I don't think I've seen a worst last over.
