Now Jayasuriya hit for a six! Thats all the SL bowlers hit for a six now.

Of Sanath.

Maybe they should invent a '10' for such shots...

Only seven rows back, six more for GIlly!

[Shayan]

a lot will rest on Jayasuriya when Sri Lanka come out to bat.

 

[RumiNYC]

i think i'll stick watching my american games..such as football, baseball, basket-ball...Atleast there's some competition...unlike Aussie cricket...errrrrrrr

[Oxy]

I'd have sent Symmonds out to bat when Hayden was out

[iZeeshan]

Absolute battering here. Another four.

SL can still win right?

 

[dinakar]

seems Ponting really struggles there with the spin. had they could stop Gilly early on, Srilanka would have the game in

 

[Sean]

Top edge! IN THE CAP! Oh my god! That should have been caught!

 

[Rob H]

Just short of the fielders. Gilchrist is a lucky boy.

 

[Faisal Akhtar]

Dropped! Gilly its ur day make the 200!

[Uzzy]

Gilchrist dropped!!!

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

[Oxy]

Gilly survives - good attempt to catch him at the boundary.

200 up in the 28th over

 

[iZeeshan]

Oh boy. That just sums up Sri Lanka's day. 2 men there, and neither can catch it.

Gilchrist is makin Murali look like Giles.

 

[Straight Bat]

lets not rule Lanka out - they have the talent to make a game out of this.

 

[Medic]

I'm gonna change my sig

 

[Sean]

He should be arrested for assault. He has assaulted the ball and the crowd.

 

[badxhah]

i thk it went wrong for SL when vaas was taken apart by gilly in the 3rd over .. they jus couldnt come back frm that shock

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

i'm pretty shocked, really never thought Sri Lanka would be in such a desperate situation.

well not only u pal millions of others as well

 

[Oxy]

I'm not sure Ind/Pak/SL combined would beat Oz

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

8 by 13 rpo is possible

 

[Sean]

Gilly nearly run out. Very close. But Jaya misses,

 

[OZGOD]

300 might be on the cards if Dubya can keep giving Gilly strike.

 

[Medic]

I'm not sure Ind/Pak/SL combined would beat Oz

I am. And they wouldnt be able to

 

[Medic]

Out!!

 

[Oxy]

Gilly goes

 

[RumiNYC]

300 might be on the cards if Dubya can keep giving Gilly strike.

[Inswinging Yorker]

[iZeeshan]

ANd Gilly finally goes. I was thinking a 200 for Gilly today.

 

[Sean]

OUT! Gilly goes for 149! Gilly going for the pull shot. And he gets a massive top edge.
