IronMan!!!
You crazy guy!!

) ) )

 

[IronMan2009]

forgot about Murali!

 

[IronMan2009]

 

[Boi]

Murali gone!

 

[Easa]

Lame.

The 194 jinx thread is a one-off. Any attempt at imitating it fails quite epically.

 

[IronMan2009]

Murali was upset with decision.

 

[IronMan2009]

I heard Mendis has improved his batting.

 

[alexjohn_tcr]

who will be the MOM.tough choice.now that both have 1 wicket each

 

[Boi]

Yuvraj gets Kulasekra!!

 

[IronMan2009]

Sehwag/Yuvi both were equally good. Did Yuvi win the last MOM?

 

[Boi]

Sri Lanka failing miserabily!

 

[Boi]

Four for Fernando!

 

[12thMan]

Somebody threw something at Praveen Kumar. SL crowd is generally sportive. Don't know what happened this time. They are behaving oddly.

Didn't someone throw something at I. Sharma last match? Ranatunga

 

[Dhonifan]

Ironman... )

this last pair will take Lanka home unless you jinx them, quick

 

[Dhonifan]

Umpire strikes again, didnt give a clear edged cb

 

[IronMan2009]

Exactly. Indians are already looking panic stricken. I am sure Mendis/Fernando will capitalize on this and see them home.

Yea.. last match. Only on this tour i see crowd problems.

all we have to do is make mendis/fernando read this post and they'll fall apart laughing

[IronMan2009]

Didn't i tell you. they have decided it is time to go after bowling.

 

[IronMan2009]

But for run out they would have won

 

[minhasuz]

India won the series. 8 games in a row for India. I hope there winning streak ends in next 2 games Insh Allah

 

[Dhonifan]

fernando run out by 2 miles but Gamini goes to the 3rd umpire

Huge win for India.

 

[salman24]

It would definitely be surprising. IT's up to these two. If they continue then SL will win. I don't think they have enough depth in their batting otherwise.

Like I sadi . SL's batting line-up sucks! They depend on Jayasuriya too much and then a somewhatat on Sangakarra and Jaya.

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

India win by 149 runs. MOM ? My pick is Yuvraj. He was far more commanding than Sehwag.

It will end. India is going to field the benched players in the next 2 matches.

 

[Dhonifan]

I am convinced if not for your tireless efforts we would have won by 50 runs only
well played!

hwo about both sharing since both got wkts too

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

hwo about both sharing since both got wkts too

But still, don't you think it's Yuvraj who deserves it more since he was the one who took the attack apart in the initial overs ?

 

[Garuda]

hwo about both sharing since both got wkts too

For me it will be sehwag. He bowled quite a few overs with good economy too. Especially when Sanga was firing.

i never take things for granted !

 

[Dhonifan]

for me both have been equal if you look at the stats today, very hard to choose

if yuvraj gets it, he deserves it but it will do some injustice to Viru, adn you can see Garuda favors him, thus proving how hard it is to decide between the 2

 

[IronMan2009]

Mahela is going to field the strongest team for the next 2 matches as well to gain confidence back.

 

[Dhonifan]

and Yuvi gets MOM

well done THE YUVI. Hoep to see many more such innings from you

 

[Dhonifan]

This has to be th efunniest scene

Arun Lal asks Yuvi what does he think when batting with sehwag etc, and camera pans on Viru who has nodded off to sleep! this man doesnt care about awards does he!

LOL.

 

[IronMan2009]

Indeed it is a thrill to bat with Sehwag. Yuvi has rarely done that. I mean never involved in a long partnership with him.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Another poor perfomance from sri lanka and another thrashing.

India have now won 8 on spin and are on a roll.

 

[Manish26]

Well Yuvi finally won this duel against Mendis and others.Too good a player to be kept in any series.

 

[EvergreenCricketer]

Mahela is going to field the strongest team for the next 2 matches as well to gain confidence back.

Keep up your jinx attempts!

 

[Romali_rotti]

Keep saying this, India have a nasty habbit of giving hope to the newbies and then bringing em back down to earth later.. Mendis ......

 

[EvergreenCricketer]

They have a chance to redress that in the Test series.

Now you support SL.

 

[IronMan2009]

Keep up your jinx attempts!

Dude that was not jinx! That was his post match statement. He wants to go in with confidence for future matches. I am sure he implied Pakistan tour.
Infact Dhoni made a weird statement. "We don't play for win last 2 matches. We want to give chances to others". lol He immediaely realized they are not necessarily mutually exclusive!

 

[Manish26]

"Gary Kirsten had said earlier that this Indian team could win even if they played at 60% efficiency" LOL..Isse kehte hain full bezzati )

 

[amdavadi]

I am new here but after looking at posts i cant understand some things. Like that guy RA who always laugh on yuvraj and indian batting line up against mendis he is not here. I dont know others thought. But when somebody is playing against good spinners and against his fear he should be appreciated. Some time ppl forget to do that that called jealousy and hypocrisy.

No I am not staying up all night to watch India v Sri Lanka for the 12th time that's why.

 

[OZGOD]

Man some major ownage by India. I still stand by my comment that THE YUVI is the luckiest batsman alive. Why hasn't he bought a lottery ticket yet?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

I just saw the scorecard on cricinfo and saw India gave SL a big mauling today and took the series aswell! After the 2nd ODI I had a feeling it'll be a clean sweep by India and after today's performance by them it does surely look more likely to happen now! SL on the other hand, are they suffering now from playing too much cricket all of a sudden?!

Mendis is also started going for runs aswell as it seems like teams have started watching his videos carefully and picking him well! Now come the tests with Pak it should be a good contest - InshahAllah.

I watched an over from Mendis to THE YUVI when he was about 70 runs.

First ball, missed outside edge

Second ball hit in the air to midwicket, fielder just can't get there.

Third ball same shot, nearly caught again.

Sixth ball hit in the air to backward square, fielder gets a hand on it but it goes for four.

I agree with your comment.

Sehwag is another lucky bugger. But his luck was been fairly consistent.
