Dhoni: Yaar, its time for my shooting, what are these lanka doing?

 

[abdul2009]

40 runs required from 36 balls Keep it going SL.

 

[abdul2009]

Are SL trying to preserve Samaraveera?
I mean, whats he doing at No7?

 

[Da Best]

Zaheer Khan in. SL in control. Both the batsmen look comfortable out there now.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Run out chance missed

 

[Afridi_Fan]

 

[kamranO]

[kamranO]

Are SL trying to preserve Samaraveera?

they send the hitter before him to take charge

 

[P4K1 #1]

Sri Lanka can win this.. going good so far

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Ok just for her, let India win this.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

27 needed off 24 balls.

 

[abdul2009]

Ok just for her, let India win this.

who

 

[Afridi_Fan]

22 Needed off 18 balls.

 

[abdul2009]

Well Zak and Nehra are bowling these inswinging yorkers and the batsmen cant do anything about it, as per cricinfo..... Really??

 

[Afridi_Fan]

who

The Babe in the crowd.

 

[hasanb]

The Babe in the crowd.

what a sell out you are.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Ok that was not in the right spirit, but who cares?

 

[hasanb]

SL reach 400...well done to them but another travesty of a pitch. What are the indians playing at exactly...pathetic stuff.

Anyway, 15 required with 12 balls to come, come on SL!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Lankan Batsmen are not connecting properly.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

He's out i think. Yes he is.

 

[kamranO]

now samraweera should do his job now

 

[abdul2009]

***, Kandamby gone!

 

[Da Best]

Oh a wicket !!!!! But they've got Samarweera to get now. 401/6 SL.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

14 off 9

 

[hasanb]

THis is probably a good thing...samaraweera should hae been there anyway instead of this kandamby fella.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

12 off 8

 

[hur rizvi]

12 off 8 needed sending samaraweera in is not a good decision

 

[hasanb]

pressure on SL now...14 from 9, it looks very unlikely.

 

[hasanb]

12 off 8

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Lanka need a boundary

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Another run out.

 

[Waseem]

Very good bowloing by Zaheer and Nehra in the end. They have both bowled at least 20 yorkers in the last 4 overs.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

11 needed off last over.

 

[hur rizvi]

srilanka have lost it

 

[hasanb]

ffs come on SL get yourselves together for the love of God.

India heading for an undeserved win here. Zaheer Khan despite his 'yorkers' ends up with figures of 0-88 from his 10 overs, what a legendary performance from Indias spearhead bowler

 

[Waseem]

Lanka need another 10 in the last over and a tailender is facing the first ball.
India will DEFINITELY win this one, how can they lose from here??

Bad finish by Lanka

 

[abdul2009]

Comeon kukisekara!!! Go for it

 

[Afridi_Fan]

10 off 5

 

[Afridi_Fan]

8 off 4

 

[Waseem]

8 required off 4 balls.

Only miracle can save Lanka now.

[jusarrived]

8 required off 4 balls.

Only miracle can save Lanka now.

[Luton Bad Boy]

Out!!

 

[hasanb]

WHats going on...cric-pathetic are stuck and you guys are shouting out random stuff...'six!'...'out!!'...'6 off 3'...wth which is it?

 

[jusarrived]

5 of last ball , tie ?

 

[Waseem]

No hope for Lanka now, very good bowling by India to win the game.

Well bowled Nehra and Zaheer, they saved the day for India even though the overall figures look bad.

 

[jusarrived]

WHats going on...cric-pathetic are stuck and you guys are shouting out random stuff...'six!'...'out!!'...'6 off 3'...wth which is it?

5 of last ball , there was no six

 

[Luton Bad Boy]

Miandad required...

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

India win

 

[Seen Sheen]

In the end,there's only one winner,The Bookies..

 

[hasanb]

bah..

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

That was a tight finish - SL messed things up in that last powerplay. Decent bowling from the 2 left armers at the end

Still, flat pitches are bakwaas

 

[Pakistani tigers]

sorry could not resist the 6 comment!

 

[Waseem]

India win by 3 runs

Millions of heart broken in Sri Lanka, it was so easy but they made it difficult.

Poor Dilshan and Sangakkara

 

[in_cutter]

In the end,there's only one winner,The Bookies..

yawwwwwwn

..why not just appreciate good cricket??

 

[Legal Eye]

Bottlers

 

[Liverpool_Faizan]

india celebrating like mad. i wudnt be so happy. that was a disgraceful performance on their part. no way did they deserve to win.

 

[AZ]

that was some superb death bowling by ZK and Nehra there, won the game from a very unlikely position...hats off to the Lions, what a fantastic run chase

 

[Luton Bad Boy]

Why not fly out and celebrate with your fellow indian colleagues?

 

[AZ]

Why not fly out and celebrate with your fellow indian colleagues?

now that you're here, we can do just that

 

[Seen Sheen]

yawwwwwwn

..why not just appreciate good cricket??

Good cricket,are you for real?,The way Sri Lankans threw their wkts away,it was just______

 

[pun500]

1/202 after 25 overs? )

I think the pitch might be a little bit flat

yup... that was as flat as it gets...hell of a match though (but you are right this was really poor pitch)

bhajji should be proud... before sanga murdered him he was superb

still the best bowler on both sides by a country mile

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

yawwwwwwn

..why not just appreciate good cricket??

The bookies suggestiong might be yawn BUT good cricket? C'mon - flat pitches are only good for Batsmen's averages NOT for cricket

 

[pun500]

also note both sides are competing for the worst fielding side of all times... pak has competition now.

salman butt here comes nehra

 

[abdul2009]

Disappointing result this! SL should have easily won this... They have choked again, not surprising though! Well done Mr Sangakara, for selecting to bowl first... Only a fool would have done that and you didnt deserve to win thereafter

 

[deep82]

Top class bowling by Zak & Nehra at the death to give us an unlikely win!

Batters were superb but I am in awe of Sanga...90 off 43 is just simply out of world on even the flattest of wkts...

 

[Luton Bad Boy]

now that you're here, we can do just that

The chamelon strikes back
