Samit, what a beast

 

[MRSN]

full toss now )

 

[Asif321]

mendis hogaya pagal

 

[velu]

and another :4

Fatty is really hungry for runs

 

[MRSN]

looks like promoting Patel up the order has worked so far

 

[cards fan]

Malinga does well again every country except India. dont know why?

 

[James]

Run rate of 7 is just about okay for now, but can't afford to lose any more wickets or we will grind to a halt.

 

[cards fan]

they hvae to win in 13 overs to qualify.. which is very difficult.

 

[Asif321]

getting nervous for tommrow's game already ...

 

[MRSN]

Morgan this time

 

[Manveer]

Suddenly every one is talking about wet ball .... 54/3 in 43 balls .

 

[James]

they hvae to win in 13 overs to qualify.. which is very difficult.

No they don't, they just have to win. Kindly stop misrepresenting fact.

thts for Srilankas qualification ... england just need win

 

[MattyB]

This fat guy is the only one who can bat it seems.

Patel has always been fairly talented, it's always been his fitness that has been the problem.

England are holding on but it is going to need a similar innings from Morgan as he produced against the West Indies.

 

[Justcrazy]

54 / 3

 

[cards fan]

No they don't, they just have to win. Kindly stop misrepresenting fact.

ok my mistake.

 

[Justcrazy]

Eng start packing bags

 

[MRSN]

Patel is playing well but he needs some support from the other end too..

 

[Justcrazy]

56 / 3 after 8 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

England require another 114 runs with 7 wickets and 12.0 overs remaining

 

[James]

Buttler and Bopara to come after these, so it's not completely a lost cause.

However I fear that if Morgan falls then so will England. He's the only one experienced enough to take us home in such heated and difficult match conditions.

 

[Justcrazy]

just singles

 

[mithun_minhas]

Malinga does well again every country except India. dont know why?

Kohli smashes him badly. That gives confidence to other batters.

 

[Manveer]

65/3

 

[MRSN]

Patel playing Mendis well

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[velu]

Mendis getting

:4 :4

 

[MRSN]

sensible cricket from Patel

 

[James]

Oh my word, Mendis is bowling total garbage.

Keeping us in the game.

 

[kungfu90]

See its his Indian genes against spinners.
Never rely on spinners against India.

 

[Justcrazy]

70 / 3

 

[Square Drive]

Well, this is getting interesting... SL are now surely through, but Samit and Morgan have given England a chance here...

 

[BHM :D]

Patel is batting beautifully! England should use him as a proper batsmen more often. All his boundaries have been class, hopefully he can take Eng home with Morgan.

 

[Manveer]

98 in 60 needed ...not tough

 

[MRSN]

have to say Patel has impressed me with is batting tonight.

 

[leatherface58]

Viv Richards has possessed Samit Patel

[James]

It was dead and buried at 18-3 (Hales decision was poor, but hey it happens)

However, we have a slim chance now.

 

[leatherface58]

Big wicket

[Manveer]

Morgan out

 

[MRSN]

Morgan gone! it was about time...

 

[James]

Shame that Morgan has gone but he was playing an ordinary innings by his standards. Let's see how Buttler and Bopara do.

Samit is the key, if he is there at the end then England will at least be close.

 

[MattyB]

Morgan never looked settled. Now we need Patel to make a big score and Bopara + Buttler to contribute.

 

[velu]

morgan gone

 

[Justcrazy]

73 / 4

 

[MRSN]

lucky there Bopara.that was a big inside edge

 

[Justcrazy]

Bopara in.

 

[MRSN]

Bopara killing the momentum

 

[Justcrazy]

76 / 4

 

[Manveer]

Nasir keeps on whining .... 5th out .

 

[MRSN]

[leatherface58]

Bopara gone

 

[James]

Yet another shocking innings from Bopara. Christ that was bad.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Bopara )

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[mithun_minhas]

Bopara in.

Bopara out!!!

He was playing back foot to spinners who are skidding them straight.

Asking for trouble.

Patel is the only one who looks like a man among boys.

 

[Justcrazy]

Bopara is just shocking

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Patel the lone warrior.

 

[James]

Nass roasting the selectors for picking Bopara

Guess these two are just going to whack it now and see what happens.

 

[Justcrazy]

80 / 5

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Nasir is not happy with Bopara's selection.

 

[MRSN]

What can Butler do here?

 

[Justcrazy]

England require another 88 runs with 5 wickets and 46 balls remaining

 

[MRSN]

Nass roasting the selectors for picking Bopara

Guess these two are just going to whack it now and see what happens.

he's right!! such an overrated cricketer Bopara is.

 

[Justcrazy]

Bopara should never play again.

 

[James]

Required run rate of 12

What a miserable attempted defence of a title.

 

[Justcrazy]

Bopara should start playing as a bowler

 

[Justcrazy]

Next 20 20 wc is in BD

 

[James]

Just to clarify Nasser wasn't having a go at Bopara, he was criticising the selectors for placing such an out-of-form player in this pressure situation. Nass spot on as usual.

 

[Asif321]

Defending champs are going backkkkkkkk

 

[leatherface58]

Bopara is a specialized passenger.

 

[Jo_Don]

Bopara is England's Afridi. "He's a bowler now"

 

[Asif321]

SRILANKA INTO SEMIS OFFICIALY

 

[Justcrazy]

England require another 81 runs with 5 wickets and 39 balls remaining

 

[Asif321]

Srilanka taking revenge of Semi final loss against England in 2010
.. this is 3rd consective time SRL qualify to semis 09 010 012

 

[leatherface58]

Malinga destroying England. Buttler perishes now.

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[velu]

Butler gone

 

[mithun_minhas]

Malinga 4 Wickets already??

He still has 2 balls left in his 2nd over

Malinga should go for 6 or 7 wickets. Would be amazing.
