Australia v Sri Lanka ICC Champions Trophy | 17/06/13 | Match Thread

[Justcrazy]

SL may not top the group after all

 

[imranq]

Aussies only need 3.55 RPO, they could very well eliminate Sri Lanka here along with them.

Lanka v India again...

jignesh: "Aussies are ruining it for everyone. First they couldn't win by good margin. So, that ruined their SF chances. Then they are unlikely to even win. So, that ruined NZ SF chances. And now, they are not losing handsomely ... that ruins cricket lovers by having Ind-SL match again."

164 / 7

 

[WebGuru]

Kula everywhere in the field....runout thn catch and thn 3 wickets....man

 

[Justcrazy]

Australia require another 86 runs with 2 wickets and 25.0 overs remaining

 

[HamzaSaeen]

;another India vs Lanka in the semis

 

[Justcrazy]

Australia require another 82 runs with 2 wickets and 23.0 overs remaining

 

[WebGuru]

SL still in trouble they need to get this Voges...

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

;another India vs Lanka in the semis

oh no oh no

I'll kill myself

 

[Maximas]

I feel sorry for NZers, they deserved a semi spot here.

 

[WebGuru]

Malinga been so expensive today...

 

[battler]

nz are still in this!

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Aussies might actually win!

 

[Maximas]

nz are still in this!

That hope fully depends on Adam Voges now.;/

 

[WebGuru]

NZ chances gone...

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Voges goes and takes Aussie and NZ hopes with him...

 

[Cricfan4eva]

Why would Australia play senseless shots when they need 3 rpo (also given that they are out of CT).

 

[battler]

damn voges out so ind vs sl it is

 

[Maximas]

NZ chances gone...

Well this aint Pakistan. only 38 runs needed and plenty of balls left. I'm being optimistic here, Aussies can still pull out a win here.

 

[HamzaSaeen]

dilshan

 

[Cricfan4eva]

If Aus go onto lose (likely) Voges will have gifted it to SL. That unusual shot when they needed just 2.8 rpo.

 

[Cricfan4eva]

SL at it again )

Appealing for bat before wicket

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Appealing again, should be fined again

 

[HamzaSaeen]

appealing on a clear outside edge?

 

[Cricfan4eva]

SL are allowing easy singles here. These 2 are clearly not technically equipped enough to hit lofted shots. Bring everyone in and tell them to go in the air.

 

[WebGuru]

death bowling is exposed in this CT...almost every team is bad at death bowling...

 

[fight_club]

Don't want lanka to reach semis otherwise will be easy meat for India, Kiwis might just add some spice, come on Aussies

 

[Cricfan4eva]

India would much rather prefer Kiwis. If we could counter Pak's bowling Kiwi will only be easier and also SL batting > Kiwi batting.

 

[WebGuru]

looks close...

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Kula is an epic trundler once the ball gets old.

 

[MohsanAslam]

Cant get these tail enders out, how would they go through the indian batting?

 

[battler]

22 reqd

 

[Runner Up]

Partnership 41(71)

 

[HamzaSaeen]

what the heck is mathews doing... he should attack with his frontline bowlers... rather he is defending with part timers and as I write SL win.

 

[MohsanAslam]

SL win ! What a winnnn and what a catchhh

 

[WebGuru]

stunning catch...

 

[pakistanalltheway]

would be funny if it was a no ball

 

[Runner Up]

IF they had any review left, should have used it, who knows it was a NO BALL

 

[battler]

damn it all over!

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Congratulations to India on reaching the final

 

[loifan]

Aus trolled NZ nicely here. LOL.
