[zMario]

Hit away,, GONE!!!!

Great catch by Pietersen!!!

 

[Amjid Javed]

8 balls left now.

 

[zMario]

Ah well, he had to hit out, he had no choice. Afridi would've hit it further though!

 

[Amjid Javed]

4 for malinga.

158/8 (19)

DECENT SCORE here...

 

[zMario]

Malinga swings, and misses. Malinga get a new hairdo

Fernando is the man in, best of 13. Hes gotta do 13, in 3 balls

 

[Amjid Javed]

last over now.

 

[zMario]

Smashed, and FOUR! Finally, Malinga gets a boundary.

SL 158/8

Afridi wouldve smashed that for TWELEVE! Bad ball, Length

 

[Amjid Javed]

bouncer and not given.

2nd ball is single.

 

[zMario]

SL Run Rate : 8.32 - that looks really good, but 158/8 looks bad

Hmm, that shouldve been wide!

 

[zMario]

5 balls left, 2 wickets left

 

[Amjid Javed]

2 more for malinga.

S.L 161/8

 

[zMario]

Get a single, so 159/8, 4 balls left

 

[zMario]

MALINGA gone short ball and pulls it to midwicket.

S.L 161/9

 

[Amjid Javed]

[zMario]

Hehehehhee, well, I thought Bell would drop it, Malingas gone, and I hear this song again. (Reminds me of Aussie collapse (81 ALL OUT))

 

[zMario]

Malinga out for 13, 2 balls left in the innings - 161/9

 

[zMario]

Inside edge, TWO!

 

[zMario]

Haha Jones, our Kamran Akmal would've easily caught that!

LAST BALL!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Run out last ball.

Plunkett hits stumps this time from alot futher out.

S.L 163 all out.

 

[zMario]

LOL, what a run out, Sri Lanka 163 all out

 

[Amjid Javed]

England need 164 to win.

who do you think will win ze mario?

 

[zMario]

Ah well, Sri Lanka have got a good total i guess

That run rate will be hard to compete with!

 

[zMario]

England need 164 to win.

who do you think will win ze mario?

Hmmmmm, well, if I was England, I would think about just getting 164 runs, not the run rate. The run rate is like over 8, so it would make them feel more discouraged! I want Sri Lanka to win, but I think England will easily win!

 

[zMario]

What about u AJ? Who u thinks gonna win?

 

[zMario]

I think, with that start, the middle order should've fired! 200 was certainly on!

 

[zMario]

Run Rate Required : 8.20

 

[zMario]

You know... I don't think Sri Lanka struggled to 163, I disagree with Sky Sports

 

[Amjid Javed]

What about u AJ? Who u thinks gonna win?

I think england will win the collingwood and KP getting some runs.

 

[zMario]

Man, this Dish Network music puts me to sleep too easily, its not even funny!

 

[zMario]

Oh, and if u guys are wondering, I'm gonna make highlights after the game

 

[Easa]

Oh, and if u guys are wondering, I'm gonna make highlights after the game

Looking forward to that. I hope you stick by your words.

Pretty decent score on the board.

[Oxy]

I wonder if SL have ever used their physio as a runner?

 

[James]

4 overs gone, 23/0

SL will win if Pietersen doesn't bat well. Our lineup looks deeply pants outside of the top 3 or 4 to be honest...

 

[James]

Classy boundary from Strauss

Who cares yaar - its 20/20 - its all about entertainemnt for the paying spectators

 

[James]

12 more in 3 balls

These little periods where Strauss looks in such good nick makes me wonder what happened to his test form. Looked the best opener in the world after his first year but has slipped a bit since the winter tours; despite a superb hundred in India he was rubbish in all the other tests.

 

[James]

Who cares yaar - its 20/20 - its all about entertainemnt for the paying spectators

I do want to win though! I hate any England loss.

 

[Easa]

I wonder if SL have ever used their physio as a runner?

He really is fast.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Eng 42/0 (5)

a flying start!

 

[James]

Strauss is playing awesomely. However, its hard not to hope for a wicket because you-know-who is batting at 3 today...

 

[James]

Strauss gets himself out again, though not so bad as its only 20-20. AND IN COMES THE TRUE BEAST

 

[Uzzy]

Eng 72/1 (10)

92 needed from 60 balls.

 

[James]

I dunno why the radio 4 chimps still moan about Pietersen's batting style. Who doesn't fail sometimes? He has built up an amazing LOI average by playing his natural game, just let him bat please~

Lol at rubbish drop at long on. Go Pietersen

 

[Oxy]

And Monty drops it......

 

[Amjid Javed]

Kp dropped.

could be costly.

 

[James]

82 to get with 50 odd balls left.

Jaya will either get Tres and KP to hole out, or be murdered

 

[Uzzy]

Out!!!! Very beastly hehe

 

[James]

KP hits his first really good shot for 4, then fluffs it.

88/2

 

[James]

Out!!!! Very beastly hehe

Afridi was a lot more responsible in his stint at Ireland

 

[Uzzy]

Afridi was a lot more responsible in his stint at Ireland

As long as he didnt let Pakistan down

 

[Oxy]

Monty drops another sitter...

 

[Uzzy]

Collingwood dropped!

 

[James]

Urk. Maybe this is Collingwoods day...4 wickets and got away with a bad shot again.

Tomorrow's headlines: "Brilliant Colly drives England home"...

 

[Oxy]

Tomorrow's headlines: "Brilliant Colly drives England home"...

I doubt it - more likely to be 'Liverpool pair spare Englands blushes'

 

[Rob H]
