I hate these Star Stat like when morkel take 2 wickets SA chances of winning increase like 80% and when Ramiz start his commentary in Pakistan innings we are up to see a batting collapse coming

exactly

serve no purpose
 
Wahab was right Attack is the best form of defence against South Africa 2 back to back boundaries and you can see the change in body language.
 
This Thirimanne guy is one good player. If South African's don't get him soon he can singlehandedly send the Africans packing.
 
thirimanne bring lankans back into the game
 
lol thirimanne's strong and weak zones are on top of each other

sometimes these stats dont serve a purpose

just flashy graphics

That was his little cousin, I was 10, he was about 12-13, he was living on Euphoria of his cousin playing for SL. I was a cricketing mercenary playing street/park/ to street/park and ran in to him several times and showed him who I was. I came to Canada in 2004, lost touch with cricket for about 5-6 years and I lost my batting, became a good spinner though. Still working on my Spin bowling.
 
See SL made an adjustment and sent Thirimnne above Mahela, if Pakistan team leadership had that much vision.

I was 10, I was gifted with batting(tape ball,tennis ball) played well vs 15-16 year olds. I suck now with a bat. But my new bowling will take me further i believe and it still needs some working.

exactly and most of the time for right hander you will see the circle at same place and didn't even move an inch off stump lol so sometime i wonder if it's same for everyone why the heck there is a need to show it?

these flashy graphics are farce and they make commentators more like graphic reader than actually giving us any insight. Wasim is the best graphics reader :))

wasim bhai reads like it a newspaper :asif
 
2 off 27. Sanga getting out in the next couple of overs would be crushing for Lanka.
 
Sanga is looking clueless here but he will cash in with 20 overs of slow bowling.
 
Sanga is doing absolutely fine. Unlike most on here he has a brain.

He knows Duminy and AB will have to bowl at some point.
 
this is what is special abt saffers

imagine if our bowling had these fielders

the batsmen would be under so much more pressure
 
Sanga knows he has 20 overs from lesser bowlers to make up for this start. The longer Sanga stays the more apprehensive will the African get.

Just imagine how sky will fall if misbah score 2 of 27 Vs Aus on friday, PP would crash.
Click to expand...

sanga will most likely end up with 70-80+ at SR of 80+

if misbah does the sa,e then its fine
 
i dont know who i want to win. change my mind every 10 mins :))

who is everyone rooting for?

Im not even under their radar, I'm playing 3 divisions below the most competitive division. I felt that I had a good opportunity in recently concluded American College cricket championship, our Canadian university was going to compete and it was broadcasted on ESPN3. Our Uni said they weren't gonna pay since our cricket club was inactive for a year, we were gonna put our own money and go but our University didn't let us use their name since they weren't gonna fund us and we couldn't play unless we used our UNI's name so that went down the drain. Our uni just signed Canada's national coach for our Inter-Canada University/College championship to be happening in June, so he will look at me and let me know where I am at, he is no joke he coached Baroda india's Ranji trophy team to final in 2010, he coached the likes of Pujara, Irfan, Yusuf Pathan and Jadeja. I always make first impression with everyone then I flop with my accuracy.

Fan of Sanga but I want SA to win. Sa vs NZ semi will be amazing. NZ beat SL to the pulp already so many times and it will be a boring one sided game

Lol it's actually HARD to get into the Canadian side?
 
Sanga needs to hang around till 20th over and then runs will flow
 
Surely, this isn't a 300 wicket.

The more I see, I am impressed with Sanga, he must continue for at least 2 more years, for the sake of cricket. A man after 4 consecutive hundreds has the humbleness to score 5 of 35. I am sure he has an assessment of what could be a fighting total, he is trying to bat through & add 15/20 with that fighting total.
 
Sanga :facepalm:

Had he played such an inning against India, conspiracy theories would be flying high everywhere. :srini
 
I guess Sanga score will be in single digit when he play his 50th ball today :)) but he knows runs will come just need to wait and dont need to throw it away
 
I want saffers to win just to See the reaction of Mamoon and Co, and will be even better and funny if amla don't bottle and play gem of an inning while chasing and SA VS Nz will be more interesting as well.
 
Mark Nicholas is so friggin annoying and OTT that I want him get punch in the face by Mike Tyson.

good analysis sanga is a very smart cricketer he knows if he throw it away right now his team will even find it hard to touch 200
 
5 off 37. Sanga waiting for Tahir and the part-timers.
 
this sanga knock is either going to go down as one of the best knocks ever or one of the worst in history , lets see :))
