[khanbhai21]

I want New Zealand to win this game. I'm sick of **** Srilankan weather, and even shittier Srilankan pitches

 

[Ahson8]

Nz making a comeback here. Interesting game, this

 

[Tridibans_16]

Lucky there, Lanka.

 

[shades]

The beauty about t20 is you can be cruising and a couple of overs can totally turn the match around.
"Let the Games Begin" - The T20WC has started now!

 

[leatherface58]

Well done Jake

 

[Sidcricfan]

Need Dilshan's wicket and NZ will consider themselves favorites to win the match.

 

[Strike!]

Great fielding.

 

[leatherface58]

Southee has been hammered. Bit of a gamble.

 

[Tridibans_16]

Actually this match is closer than it looks. Sri Lanka needs Dilshan to be there. Otherwise Kiwis would feel they are in it bif time.

 

[leatherface58]

Greig sounds like he is depressed Southee bowled a good Yorker.

 

[Tridibans_16]

Poor field placing by Taylor I feel.

 

[Tridibans_16]

Greig sounds like he is depressed Southee bowled a good Yorker.

Haha what do you expect? He is the brand ambassador of Sri Lankan tourism.

 

[Strike!]

Excellent bowling, Gul take note.

 

[leatherface58]

Excellent from Timmy

 

[Sherlock]

Great over. 154-3.

 

[Sherlock]

21 off 12 needed

 

[Sherlock]

Dilshan will do it.

 

[leatherface58]

Haha what do you expect? He is the brand ambassador of Sri Lankan tourism.

True. It's become even more obvious.

Edit: dilshan smashes one. Frankie

 

[dhump]

just look at the way southee bowled after bad first spell this is something Umar Gul is not capable of he just keep of bowling bad balls some times 2-3 times in an over and never learn.

 

[asifp]

If Southree can bowl another over like that its going to be tough.

 

[dhump]

full toss

 

[Sherlock]

1st ball 6666666

 

[asifp]

just look at the way southee bowled after bad first spell this is something Umar Gul is not capable of he just keep of bowling bad balls some times 2-3 times in an over and never learn.

Cause Gul think he is 160 kph and can bounce any guy out.

 

[Sherlock]

Could be out here.

 

[dhump]

I think dilshan is out

 

[Sherlock]

Run Out Dilshan

 

[Sherlock]

Out!!!

 

[leatherface58]

Timmy redeeming himself big time

 

[dhump]

 

[Sherlock]

Never 2 there.

 

[Strike!]

 

[Space Cat]

Hes a goner. Game on.

No more full tosses though Franko.

 

[dhump]

Cause Gul think he is 160 kph and can bounce any guy out.

but this was not the case 2 years back I dont know what made him think this way.

 

[Sherlock]

14 off 10

 

[Sherlock]

Perera on strike

 

[Tridibans_16]

Haha Lankans are running themselves out. But think they would still win it .

 

[leatherface58]

Man. Perera in. Could finish the game in 3 balls

 

[dhump]

14 of 10 surely be made.

 

[shakil]

Who gives the penultimate over to 120 Kmph franklin

 

[Sherlock]

1 run. 13 off 9

 

[Sherlock]

Great bowling this by Franklin, considering.

12 off 8

 

[leatherface58]

Game over. Edged for 4. Frankie with a crap over. Mills would have been a good choice

 

[Tridibans_16]

Bad bowling that by Frankie.

 

[Sherlock]

Oh Franklin

 

[dhump]

this is still interesting.

 

[Strike!]

The silence always gets me.

 

[leatherface58]

Oh man. Frankie comes back.though damage has probably been done

 

[shakil]

Franklin can only bowl slower bowls

 

[shades]

I would fancy NZ if it is a super-over

 

[Space Cat]

Franko gets him with the slowest slower ball.

 

[lilFlip]

still SLanka for me

 

[Sherlock]

Bowled. Perera gone. 8 off final over

 

[Sherlock]

Matthews on strike. Southee to bowl

 

[sada90]

7 from 5 balls ..interesting

 

[Tridibans_16]

Why is Southee bowling around the wicket?

 

[dhump]

7 of 5 southee bowling well.

 

[Sherlock]

[Sherlock]

Great tactic from Southee here
