[Sean]

OH WHAT A SHOT! OUT OF THE GROUND! An amazing shot. The SL commentator isnt impressed! 15 from the over!@

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

15 have come off the over with a ball to go!!

 

[the_game]

Damn, Gilchrist was due a big score. It looks like he will be getting it today.

 

[iZeeshan]

And now launched for 6! Very expensive over! Gilly on fire!

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

AUs 62-0 off 11 overs..

 

[Sean]

An amazing 16 from that over.
0/62!

 

[Oxy]

Big over - 16 off it.

62-0 off 11 overs.

 

[12thMan]

16 off the overs
62-0 after 11

 

[Sean]

Murali! The king of off spin is on!

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

I think MUrali would be introduced into the attack pretty soon

 

[iZeeshan]

Muralitharan coming on as a recourse. Malinga being saved for later.

 

[12thMan]

Gilchrist 46 (35) Hayden 15 (32)
Murali on

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

I think MUrali would be introduced into the attack pretty soon

and yes i have been proven rite!!

 

[Sean]

The doosra already. Fools Gilly.

 

[iZeeshan]

Great start by Murali. He needs to put up big stuff today!

 

[Sean]

I think the best way to read Murali is to read him off the pitch.

 

[Straight Bat]

murali do your thing!

 

[iZeeshan]

Loud appeal, Bucknor unmoved.

 

[12thMan]

Aus 64-0

 

[kablooee87]

The doosra already. Fools Gilly.

Yea he really didn't pick it up.

 

[Sean]

LOL! Murali is halarious!

 

[Oxy]

I thought that was close to LBW! Umpire just dismissed the appeal!

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

good first over from Murali but SL still searching for the first breakthrough

 

[Sean]

Dilshan on. He can't bowl a doosra!

 

[kablooee87]

ooh Dilshan. I don't know. Is he gonna hold up?

 

[Oxy]

65-0 off 12.

26 overs to go.

Aus really stepping on the accelarator. And wkts in hand!

More spin on its way - Dilshan on

 

[Sean]

I thought that was close to LBW! Umpire just dismissed the appeal!

Missing leg me thinks.

 

[iZeeshan]

Dilshan brought on now.

 

[12thMan]

Aus 65-0 after 12 overs @ 5.42

 

[Straight Bat]

Lets see how much the Aussies will attack Dilshan

 

[kablooee87]

I thought that was close to LBW! Umpire just dismissed the appeal!

Yea it was closer than Bucknor was thinking.

 

[kablooee87]

Decent over from Dilshan.

 

[Sean]

Driving in the air. Just short of the fielder.
And that's Gilly's half ton. What a legeeeeeend!
His 51st in fact.

 

[Oxy]

Go Gilly!

Thats much needed fantasy cricket points for me

 

[kablooee87]

50 up for Gilchrist. Good time to show up.

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

50 for Gilly.. very well played.. Now go on and make a big 100 and help your side win the cup!!

 

[Oxy]

50 up for Dilshan. Good time to show up.

Well batted Dilshan...

 

[Straight Bat]

73/0

 

[kablooee87]

Aussies have the right idea versus Murali. Keeping the strike moving, putting fielders under pressure.

 

[Sean]

Gilly going for the slog sweep that brought him many sixes against Murali in the World XI series and the VB series with SL and SA.

 

[Straight Bat]

dilshan hit for 6

 

[Sean]

GILLY! THAT IS MAXIMUM! The king! The king has hit his 3rd!

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Oh buoy!!!! Another Six. .Gilly is on fire!!

 

[kablooee87]

Well batted Dilshan...

Maybe I can tell the future.

 

[iZeeshan]

ANd Gilly advances down the pitch and smashes it down the ground for 6!

On 60 now!

 

[iZeeshan]

250 is looking very possible for Australia right now.

 

[Straight Bat]

89/0 atm

 

[Straight Bat]

6 more

 

[kablooee87]

Massive

 

[Rob H]

Gilchrist in on fire here.

 

[Sean]

Haydos wants to hit the ball to Singapore. But he can't. Gilly is the frontrunner atm. HE HITS HIS 4th! GILLY IS KING! WOOO!

[iZeeshan]

Great slower ball from Dilhara. Gilly had no idea!

 

[Sean]
