[McBoom]

HUGE roar when he was on the big screen.

Also so many "We love musharraf" banners

Something fishy here, why so much support for him???

To boost the ego of a dictator.

Definitely fishy

 

[Manish26]

If only the sri Lankans had played Mendis in the Super 4 match against India!!!
We might be playing today instead of the Indians.

Amen now we wish u were playing against the lankans than us..

 

[bdchamp20]

Who should be Player of the Tournament?

 

[12thMan]

Idiot attending the cricket with some people paid to cheer and hold up banners

You've got problems in your country and wat do you do........watch cricket!

country has an elected PPP to handle some work. there are threads for politics in Time pass

 

[cars112]

even mushi is enjoyin it

There are more important things than this for him mate, the game is for us to enjoy

Yup. Although I'd rather see support for him than Benazir Corruptto, like in a few other matches.

 

[McBoom]

Can SL please finish the match fast so we don't have to look at Mushy for so long

I second this.

 

[12thMan]

Who should be Player of the Tournament?

I think Jayasuriya. Mendis did get 4fer against Paksitan and now 6 wickets here. Not sure about other matches

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

srilankaaaaaaaaa chargeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

[Mohsin]

dropped, wud have been a great way to win the cup!

 

[Manish26]

Congratulations Sri Lanka.

We were completely outclassed. By one man.

Rightfully said One man made the difference between the two sides...Nevertheless ashamed of this performance and might not follow team India for quite a while now...Dejected

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

if india keeps d devatation under 100 runs it would not b so bad

[muzher]

Raining heavily here in Manchester. Wrecking havoc with my satellite signal.

 

[lollol]

Well done guys.

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Done. Congratulations SL.

 

[Mohsin]

[Mohsin]

well, I live in Karachi, and he is very popular here since most of the educated people in Karachi still remember the past governments of Nawaz Sharif & PPP!
Dont believe evrything you see on GEO!!

 

[desidudecool]

[lollol]

Another cheapshot by Dhoni: "Some teams dont even qualify for finals"

 

[P4K1 #1]

Congrats to Sri Lanka.. Mendis ripped India apart.. what a talent sri lanka have in him.

 

[cars112]

Another cheapshot by Dhoni: "Some teams dont even qualify for finals"

What a loser. Who won the Kitply final? Should keep his mouth shut after the thrashing his pathetic team have gotten today.

 

[Mohsin]

Another cheapshot by Dhoni: "Some teams dont even qualify for finals"

That comment almost made me choke on my sandwich!

Another cheapshot by Dhoni: "Some teams dont even qualify for finals"

His response to which question ,i am asking ,i didn;t watch that .

 

[lollol]

Mushy says a few words and condemns the suicide attack today in ISB

 

[Mohsin]

wat were his words roughly?

 

[Dhonifan]

Another cheapshot by Dhoni: "Some teams dont even qualify for finals"

hows that a cheap shot yar? he's right, would you rather your team qualified and lost every time or didn't qualify at all? i'd take the former.

on another note: mendis is the most exciting bowler to come into the scene after a long, long time. I am salivating at the thought of seeing Indian test team being tested by him. It's going to be Mendis vs India, and the 3 test series coming up will determine just how good he is. Advantage is Lankas, as they will be playing on home ground, home crowd, but we have dravid, sachin, sehwag, and laxman, no pushovers. Can't wait!

1st Test v Sri Lanka at Colombo (SSC) - Jul 23-27, 2008 (10:30 local, 05:00 GMT)

 

[WasimG]

His response to which question ,i am asking ,i didn;t watch that .

A bitter fact that why has India lost its 18th final out of 22 they've played since 1999. Dhoni the sore loser ignores how Pak just thrashed them in the Kitply final and says some teams dont even qualify for the finals.

U still didn't say what was the question ?.Why they lose so many finals ,that has nothing to do with pakistan ,i guess .He answered they still have reached in that many finals .I don;t think he was referring pakistan there .

 

[lahori@denmark]

Another cheapshot by Dhoni: "Some teams dont even qualify for finals"

official number doo(2) team.. keep it up reach the finals and make it easier for other teams to lift the trophy..
even sri lanka used this tactics to play indian team in the final and win it all, welldone srilanka

 

[Dhonifan]

U still didn't say what was the question ?

i didnt see it, but apparently ramiz pointed out to dhoni that he has lost 18 out of 22 finals. i think dhoni gave the right reply, what was he supposed to say anyway )

 

[WasimG]

hows that a cheap shot yar? he's right, would you rather your team qualified and lost every time or didn't qualify at all? i'd take the former.

Who asked him to compare themselves with Pakistan? They keep losing the finals and instead of addressing this issue he opts for a cheap shot at Pakistan who thrashed they sorry ***** in the Kitply final. He might as well have said UAE didn't even qualify for the 2nd round.

Did he say ''pakistan''.Don't imagine things .

 

[WasimG]

Pak played Mendis way better and only in the last moments he picked up Pakistani wickets. SL benched Mendis in the league match so Ind would qualify for the final to make SL's job easy in the finals. Pakistan hardly loses in the finals.

 

[lollol]

Another cheapshot by Dhoni: "Some teams dont even qualify for finals"

Might indeed not be the best way/time to say, but i dont think he meant PAK in this final.

He answered it in gerenal, meaning that he was glad they reached 22 finals

Why is it always about Pakistan? man, I think if Dhoni commented on sky you'd say he's bringing pak environment into disrepute.

 

[Clarkson]

When Dhoni said some treams don't even reach to Final

well Rameez couldnt exactly say that india are lucky to reach the finals...

they cant handle the pressure

they dont know how to perform in the big matches

rameez raja had to change topic as he had to maintain equaility but all indian pundits and journalists will be making the same point..

 

[Savak]

Dhoni: "Some teams dont even qualify for finals"

My message to Dhoni. Just suck it up and stop beeing a loser.

 

[siddharth]

And u were enjoying when pakistan were out of the world cup in 2003 and 2007 ?.Thank God atleast they didn't reach the final to lose .Is that what u were thinking ?

Well in such tournaments there is only one winner in the end and that is the team which wins the finals. Everything else is irrelevant to me. We reached the final in 1999 and lost, it didnt please us, we still took our team to task for it and insulted and traumitized our players.

 

[Rickz]

Well done Sri Lanka. Indian batsmen are sometimes so immature.

 

[inzidabest]

Ha ha ha ......You know India has won just two finals of the 21 played in the last 10 years or so....while in the same period..jayasuriya has won 4 finals against India by his batting...lol
My friend says.......Jayasuriya jab paida hua tha to God ne bola.." tu zindagi bhar India ka band bajayega"
