Netherlands destroyed by ‘Cyclone Maxwell’. – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE. (eLanka Sports editor ) Delhi was rocked by ‘Cyclone Maxwell’ as the hapless Netherlands were reduced to rubble in a one-sided World Cup game that resurrected Australia’s chances of making the top four. An outrageous show of unbridled aggression from Maxwell tore the Dutch attack to shreds as they raced to the biggest winning margin so far after amassing 399 for 8 and then reducing the shell shocked Netherlands to 90 all out in just 21overs. Maxwell smashed the fastest century in World Cup history posted only 14 days ago by South African Aiden Markram 100 off 49 balls, scoring 100 off only 40 balls in a breathtaking array of strokeplay all around the wicket. The freakish Australian, who has been pretty subdued by his own standards recently, exploded in emphatic fashion to put Australia on course for victory ...

Angelo Matthews added to Sri Lanka squad replacing Pathirana. – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE. (eLanka Sports editor) Sri Lanka’s desperation to be competitive in the World Cup has seen the dramatic inclusion of Angelo Matthews to the squad replacing injured paceman Matheesha Pathirana as a substitute. The veteran, who has a wonderful record in all formats for a considerable period, was rushed in as a travelling substitute for injured Skipper Dasun Shanaka and Pathirana and any other players in the foreseeable future. If it was a like for like replacement, Dushmantha Chameera should have got the nod ahead of Matthews similar to Chamika Karunaratne replacing all-rounder Shanaka. But the Sri Lanka think tank have made a calculated decision and preferred Matthews due to his allround capability and his invaluable experience. Whether the gamble pays off will reveal itself as their campaign progresses. But the swansong for Matthews, if it ...
