T20 WC: Namibia's Erasmus Admits 156 not Quite Enough After Loss To Netherlands
T20 World Cup: Namibia captain Gerhard Erasmus admitted his side fell short in their seven-wicket defeat to the Netherlands at the Mens T20 World Cup, saying the toss and missed opportunities played a role, but admitted that a score of 156 was never going to be quite enough. I felt like it was a decent toss for them to win. He also said he thought it was a good toss to win, seeing the amount of stick the spin got in those first and third overs. So, that's a cricketing thing, and it's out of your control that you can't really control the toss, as maybe they got a little bit better conditions. But that's not in our control -- what was in our control was the bat and ball. I thought the guys stuck to it on the sticky surface in that first bit of the game to try and build up to 160 as opposed to bash your way there, Erasmus told reporters in the mixed zone at the conclusion of the game. He said Namibia had structured their innings well until the halfway mark, but failed to capitalise late on. Pretty tough to just head out to try and hit boundaries. So I thought we did a decent job until the halfway mark, until the 10th, 11th over to be at 70-odd or 80-odd. After over 12 or so, we were on course to maybe get a 165, 170 score, and maybe have a bit more free time. So to an extent, the batters did structure it quite well. But then obviously, those last three overs we didn't quite capitalise with the run out here and there, and just didn't top up the innings at the end of it. 150 (156) these days, probably not quite enough. The guys have such good bats. It just feels like the '50s isn't quite enough, he added. Reflecting on his own dismissal to Bas de Leede, Erasmus said, I felt like it was kind of the part of the game where it's getting a little bit easier with the ball, just getting a little bit softer. Doesn't have all of that stuff like we saw and didnt get in the power play. I felt like taking the positive option, still thought we had to get 165, 170, even though the wicket is tough. As you said, got a good start and then felt the ball was there to hit over mid-wicket. But it's probably that kind of length that is quite difficult because the surface is really in play when you bang it in. It's probably that kind of length that is quite tough. Didn't quite get it over, and we didn't get 160 and didn't quite defend it. So it feels like a day where we just had a little bit not enough, not enough, not enough all the time. It happens in cricket, but I'm still proud of the boys that they got up to that 150 mark and fought sort of against the conditions. But still you have to own up to the performance, still have to own up to the fact that we lost a cricketing game and we're disappointed at that. We want to put our badge out there as one that's proud and put our cricketing nation at the forefront of it. So we'll be fighting hard through the rest of the group stage to try and get wins, he elaborated. Looking ahead to their clash against India on Thursday, Erasmus acknowledged the scale of the challenge. It can be overwhelming, I guess. As a human, it can be overwhelming when you've been thrown things that you haven't ever seen in your life. But in saying that, I think we're obviously going to approach it positively. We're going to see it as an opportunity under lights to play against the best team in the world and in front of 50,000 fans. I don't know how many are going to come in, but it's going to be just a day of opportunity for us. If we see it in that positive light, the side things like playing under lights and playing in front of so many fans and playing against the best players in the world will be a little bit more of a side issue, and you can focus a bit more on yourself and bring your skill set. He also praised Namibias supporters travelling to India for cheering them in various cities. Yes, they are very proud. You should have seen how loud they were when we beat the Proteus. It's really a prideful type of, I can almost say, a family-oriented kind of support system that we have back home. Being a small population, it's a very tight one, so connecting with the fans is quite easy, and they being a part of what we do is quite easy, and we really welcome that. So it's nice to see so many people out there. I think the touring party is more than 25 or 30 this year. That's awesome for us to have. Very special, I guess that's the reason you play cricket, it's for the fans, for the entertainment. Then obviously, as a career, you want to make your family proud as well. So all in all it's going to be a very cool moment for them to also see the India game. Erasmus highlighted Namibias ties with Indian cricket and the support they have received from the country. We have very nice ties with the BCCI. We have exchange programs where we've played against Karnataka, Punjab, and Assam over the years. We come there, they go here. After the game against India, they're going to give us light (teams). We've played in Greater Noida in the I-Cup a while back in 2016. I was part of that game. I've been to Delhi once or twice before, but this is our first white-ball tournament or game here. Seeing 6,139 fans out in New Delhi was also heartening for Erasmus. These were two neutral teams, and you still saw quite a few fans out there today. That goes to show cricket is such a massive thing in India. I've had that feeling in the franchise and in previous World Cups. We've had that feeling of how the energy stems from the subcontinent and the Indian community. That was again awesome to see a bunch of fans out there today in a neutral game. The India game is going to be a ramp-up, but it's awesome to have the World Cup here. It's definitely where world cricket's energy stems from these days. That's why it's so nice as a player to be able to experience that and to give back to those people. They are the reason cricket happens and why we play. On consultant coach Gary Kirsten, Erasmus said, I've mostly answered this question in two folds. Obviously, as you said, the Indian knowledge, the knowledge of the players and conditions around, is definitely there. Cricket is a game played according to the roles of the conditions, so a very healthy member of the squad to have in that sense, or a positive force to have in. That was again awesome to see a bunch of fans out there today in a neutral game. The India game is going to be a ramp-up, but it's awesome to have the World Cup here. It's definitely where world cricket's energy stems from these days. That's why it's so nice as a player to be able to experience that and to give back to those people. They are the reason cricket happens and why we play. Also Read: Live Cricket Score If you have that good relationship of trust, you tend to share more easily as a batter, especially your first skills, you tend to share information a lot quicker, a lot more healthily, and I've really enjoyed working with him because he's a great human, he said.

The convening is designed to bridge the gap between system-level thinking and classroom realities through a mix of plenaries, fireside conversations, curated “braindates”, dialogue corners, and hands-on practice showcases. Key sessions and themes at InvokED 2026 included: Fireside Chat — “ Leadership in the New Age ”: Wendy Kopp, CEO & Co-founder, Teach For All, in conversation with Shabnam Sinha, on evolving leadership models, networked collaboration and the relationship between global strategy and grassroots practice. Systemic leadership and teacher agency: Panels and showcases exploring how district and school leaders can enable teacher-led innovation and meaningful community partnerships. 21st Century Skills in the Classroom: Learning experiences that can enable students to drive their own learning, with a focus on practices that develop critical thinking, collaboration, and problem-solving, key skills for the 21st century Technology and evidence in action: “ Brain Dates ” and panels examining how AI-enabled tools and data systems can support, rather than displace, grassroots pedagogy. Vision for a Billion Futures: Insights from across the Global South, focused on accelerating large-scale education improvement for a billion learners. InvokED’s format intentionally blends storytelling with evidence, pairing short, practice-rich showcases with closed-door roundtables where state officials and frontline educators explore pathways to scale. This approach helps surface implementable insights while building the relationships required to translate ideas into policy action and funding priorities. InvokED 2026 brought together senior leaders from government, philanthropy and global education networks, including officials from the Department of School Education & Literacy and the Department of Higher Education, international education practitioners, and members of the Shibulal Family Philanthropic Initiatives.

Rado True Round x Les Couleurs Le Corbusier Special Edition
Disruptive, captivating, iconic. Three words that characterise the work of Le Corbusier, the Swiss-born design visionary, whose unique and striking approach to architecture has been captured in a new collection of special-edition Rado timepieces - which may also be described by those same three words. Launch of Rado True Round x Les Couleurs® Le Corbusier® Special Edition The new releases are the latest output in a long-running collaboration between Rado and Les Couleurs Suisse ® . For Rado, known as the Master of Materials, Le Corbusier’s bold designs and use of modern materials and statement colours strike a chord with its own approach to watchmaking and appetite for innovation. So far, the partnership has seen the release of 12 Rado watches, which focused on deploying contribution to modern architecture - which set the tone for the then-emergent Brutalist style - with each watch referencing one of his most epic projects. Minimalist elegance The first watch pays tribute to La Cité Radieuse, a vast, concrete apartment building in Marseille, France, completed in 1952, and which reimagined modern urban living. This special edition features an abstract inspiration of the building’s rough-cast, board-formed concrete, known as béton-brut , laser engraved in its high-tech ceramic dial. This offers a highly intricate interpretation of the concrete’s innate texture, with each minute detail intriguingly reflecting the light. Each watch in the series combines four shades from the Polychromie Architectural. First introduced in 1931, and extended in 1959, the palette was identified by the great designer as being eminently architectural, naturally harmonious and able to be combined in any way. This first watch is presented in Ivory White, reference 4320B, across its monobloc high-tech ceramic case and matching crown and bracelet, telling a story of pure, minimalist elegance. It is the first time that this specific colour has been deployed in high-tech ceramic. It’s worth remembering that the colour runs right through the material – the final hue is not just a coating or finish, but acquired during sintering, when it is heated to 1,450°C. Faithfully recreating an exact shade with this complex methodology is no small thing and took Rado’s experts years to perfect. This timepiece is complemented by hands in Lucent Sky Blue (32021), Luminous Ultramarine Blue (32020) and Light Ultramarine Blue (32023). Monochromatic power The second watch honours the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in the USA. In a region so closely associated with American history, the Center’s bold aesthetic was a stark contrast against the leafy squares and Georgian architecture of Harvard University. As the only building Le Corbusier designed in North America – and one of his last, completed in 1963 – it is part of the nation’s cultural heritage. An abstract evocation of its moulded concrete facade features in the dial of this special edition, similarly laser engraved in high-tech ceramic. Showcased in Iron Grey – specifically 32010 from the Polychromie Architectural – the piece conveys the monochromatic power of raw concrete, a material which allowed for the more disruptive, sculptural forms so associated with Le Corbusier. The watch’s lacquered hands offer a dramatic juxtaposition against the dial, in three additional colours from his palette: Cream White (32001), Powerful Orange (4320S) and Slightly Greyed English Green (32041). Monumental design The final watch in the series celebrates Le Corbusier’s capacity to conceptualise ideas on a truly epic scale through his visionary plan for Chandigarh, India. Conceived as a completely new capital for Punjab, he imagined a more rational, efficient city with a geometric ‘grid’ layout, shared principles for architectural design, and nature carefully integrated – a design legacy that would shape urban planning throughout the rest of the 20 th century. This special edition includes a dial design inspired by detail from the Palace of Assembly, one of three public buildings known as the Capitol Complex, completed in 1962. An abstract inspiration of a section of this monumental building’s facade is laser engraved in the dial, within a darker palette still. Here, the high-tech ceramic monobloc case, crown and bracelet appear in Ivory Black - 4320E from the Polychromie Architectural – accompanied by lacquered hands in Powerful Orange (4320S), Emerald Green (4320G) and Olive Green (4320F). Sensuous and scratch-proof The reverse of all three watches features 63 digitally printed colour strips - representing the full spectrum of the Polychromie Architectural. They encircle the view of the Rado calibre R763 automatic movement within, which can be seen through a flat sapphire crystal that features the logo of Le Corbusier at its centre. The colour strips also decorate the presentation box each watch is supplied in. On the wrist, the watch’s high-tech ceramic construction feels impossibly light and beautifully comfortable – the material quickly matches body temperature – while the material’s sensuous qualities are magnetically alluring. The almost scratch-proof characteristics of high-tech ceramic lend it unrivalled durability, just like Le Corbusier’s beloved concrete, while the Rado calibre R763 automatic movement’s 80-hour power reserve – and waterresistance to 5 bar (50 metres) – give it astonishing practicality. This architecturally inspired collection, pairing the father of modernism with the watchmaking vision of Rado, Master of Materials, represents a poignant new chapter in the story of Swiss design. Rado x Design Creativity is the lifeblood of Rado and has long been a part of the brand’s identity. Over the years, it has been involved in more than thirty collaborations with some of the world’s most visionary artists and designers, including luminaries such as Le Corbusier. Each project serves to open Rado to new horizons. Accordingly, its passion for design shares pride of place with the brand’s unending mission to discover and develop innovative materials, and is at the core of the brand’s identity, expressed as ‘Design You Can Feel’. About Le Corbusier Born Charles-Édouard Jeanneret in 1887, in the Swiss watch capital La Chaux-de-Fonds, Le Corbusier adopted his famous pseudonym in 1920, reflecting his own belief in reinvention and a trend for artists at the time to be known by a single name. That spark of maverick originality runs through the full gamut of his output, which included urban planning, furniture design, painting and writing. While he also enjoyed an earlier career as a watch engraver, it is arguably his architectural legacy that cemented his reputation as a pioneer – indeed as the ’father’ of modern architecture – with many of his disruptive, captivating designs still celebrated today. About the collaboration Today Les Couleurs Suisse® is exclusively mandated by the Fondation Le Corbusier to license the great designer’s original palette of architectural colours, the Polychromy Architectural colours/le-corbusier) . This dynamic colour system with a total of 63 colours, developed by the father of modernism and international design and style in 1931 and 1959, is to this day considered the ultimate system for colouring architecture and interiors. As both Rado and Corbusier are considered masters of materials, it makes sense that Rado has introduced Corbusier’s colours in high-tech ceramic.
