Australia v Sri Lanka [The World Cup Final] - Sri Lankan Inngs

[iZeeshan]

Tragic. I think the games over. Will take toooooo long for Jayawardne to adjust.

 

[niazi]

atleast its not 1 sided match.. much better than the last two finals... 99 final was the wrost one

 

[iZeeshan]

These two have a lot of work to do. Literally are the last pair considering this game.

 

[Sean]

Lets go Aussies lets go!
Lets go Aussies let go!
That's the chant around the ground.

 

[siddharth]

Atleast Lankans played 20 overs with 9 wkts in hand .If it was India ,the game would have been over by now and lost by 200 runs!!!!

 

[Straight Bat]

126/2 atm

 

[niazi]

i run the jayawrdena

 

[iZeeshan]

More singles. RRR is 8.5 now

 

[Sean]

4 runs! Beats tait and runs away!

 

[niazi]

4 to jaya

 

[Straight Bat]

a 4 - good shot

 

[iZeeshan]

Played very fine, beats Tait and four!

 

[iZeeshan]

Its funny because everytime I complain about singles, one of the scores.

 

[Sean]

Run rate up to 8.8 now.

 

[iZeeshan]

What's sad is that they have 8 wickets in hand and:

1. They can't help them.
2. They can't attacl.

 

[niazi]

huge six in the commentary box.. ouch knocking nicholas head's off Rip

 

[siddharth]

Its funny because everytime I complain about singles, one of the scores.

So do complain always .....

 

[iZeeshan]

Six! Massive!

Run to 3rd man for 2 before that.

 

[niazi]

his last words were hello! hello!! hello!!!

 

[Sean]

Slog sweep for four! Great shot by the skip.

 

[iZeeshan]

huge six in the commentary box.. ouch knocking nicholas head's off Rip

?

 

[hasbeen]

4 from jayawardene

 

[iZeeshan]

SLog swept for 4! Great shot!

 

[niazi]

Sri Lanka rebuidling again.. I've got the feeling that this might be a close match

 

[iZeeshan]

Hope it goes down the "last ball runs to win" situation.

 

[niazi]

clouds getting darker.. might come to DL method

 

[Sean]

Michael Clarke bowling. Probably trying to get some quick overs in.

 

[iZeeshan]

Clarke to bowl. RIP HIM APART!! MURDER HIM! DESTROY HIM.

 

[niazi]

they r far way off DL target

 

[Sean]

BANG! but he didnt time that probably
2 runs.

 

[Sean]

Oh what excellent fielding! AMAZING!

 

[iZeeshan]

9 an over required. Thought that was surely going for 4.

 

[niazi]

Clarke to bowl. RIP HIM APART!! MURDER HIM! DESTROY HIM.

smash him! crush him!! strangle him!!! jus kik on his nuts )

 

[iZeeshan]

Fielded just at the boundary!

 

[Daoud]

Jaya gone. Genius move by Ponting with Clarke

 

[iZeeshan]

Game over.

 

[niazi]

ffs clarke gets jaya... kept low .. big loss for sri

 

[Sean]

GONE!!!!!! THE BIGGEST WICKET TODY! OH YES! COP THAT!
Pup gets one that bounces low and Sanath goes the big heave ho! World Cup for the Aussies?
Not yet! Sanath goes for 63.
3/145
23 overs.

 

[Imran_The Man!]

Jaya gone , could be game over

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Jayasuria bowled

 

[Obeid]

Out...jaya Nooooooooooo

 

[hasbeen]

sri lanka will still win dont worry

 

[Uzzy]

Man...

 

[iZeeshan]

That's a terrible way to go. Plus, its game over since all of the following batsman fail to score boundaries.

 

[niazi]

and its drizzling right now.. wont b long b4 umpires calls for cover!

 

[RumiNYC]

well done Jaya... bravo...

 

[niazi]

way short of DL target now

 

[Sean]

That's one for the animated gif avatars!

 

[siddharth]

Pepsi cola ,time to start ur complaints.

 

[Uzzy]

Add to the fact they are well off the D/L par score. If rain comes into play they could lose...

 

[Sean]

Pigeon back on.

 

[niazi]

rain is getting heavier

 

[jusarrived]

if silva plays to his potential.......SL still have a good chance here!

 

[iZeeshan]

Wow, too many singles! COME ON BOUNDARIES!

YOU CAN STILL DO IT LANKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!

 

[Sean]

I hope this aint ruined due to rain. I wanna see it through till the end.

 

[Rob H]

The rain looks too heavy to carry on now.

 

[iZeeshan]

Asking rate wayy too much! Just awayy too much! 9.4

 

[iZeeshan]

Play and a miss from Chamara. Oh wel...

 

[Imran_The Man!]

Rubbish world cup with a disappointing final, has really put me off cricket for a while.

 

[iZeeshan]

They still fought hard. Pakistan or India would have crumbled a long time ago.

 

[Sean]

Tait coming on. They'll be looking for the one that keeps low.

 

[iZeeshan]

Tait to bowl. Use his PACE!

 

[Sean]

Will players go off?

 

[iZeeshan]

LMAO. Asking rate 9.7. Impossible.

 

[Sean]

Sawdust being used.

 

[Rob H]

Ian Botham is just so boring. Why did he get another world cup final gig when England arent even playing?

 

[iZeeshan]

So wait. If no more play is today, Aus win by D/L method?

 

[SUPERSAMI]

MAtch is over, congrats to Aussies

 

[Sean]

As I said earlier, Tait will be looking for the ball that keeps down.

 

[Sean]

There is some blue sky.. Players still on the field.

 

[iZeeshan]

Man it just isn't fair. Look how SL have to bat!

 

[Sean]

So wait. If no more play is today, Aus win by D/L method?

Yeah. Because we've played 20 overs.

 

[iZeeshan]

Just lapaaro!!! Lapaaro!

 

[Sean]

Man it just isn't fair. Look how SL have to bat!

SL can go off, but they will be admitting defeat. They want to stay on.

 

[iZeeshan]

Pathetic world cup. Pathetic world cup final. As well as Australia played, they just don't deserve to win, IMHO.

 

[Rob H]

As I said earlier, Tait will be looking for the ball that keeps down.

As the commentators said you mean.....

 

[Sean]

Covers coming on. More than likely game over!

 

[iZeeshan]

Oh no. players coming off. that just sums up the WC 2007 in the West Indies.

 

[Sean]

As the commentators said you mean.....

Tait coming on. They'll be looking for the one that keeps low.

Mmm. Gilly will be MOTM.

 

[Sean]

Oh no. players coming off. that just sums up the WC 2007 in the West Indies.

We heard you guys the first time!
