India v Sri Lanka | Final | WC'11 | Mumbai | 2/4/11 | Sri Lanka Innings

[zzebie]

Thank you!... exactly my point.. that has always been the problems with south Indians in general (and I am a south Indian myself)..they always think North Indians are conspiring against them!

just trust the captain and the management... of course they all want India to win.. and will make decisions that they think will benefit the team. The wicket is good for seam... you can't help it if Sreesanth can't get his **** together... He did start of well... Unfortunately Indians are sounding more and more like Pak PPers.. must be the influence of this forum.

I am more interested in knowing why Praveen Kumar is not playing. He is a much better bowler than Sreesanth..

Sreesanth belongs to the school of thought that believes the faster you bowl..the better bowler you can be... that is the single most reason why he keeps failing.

I don't know about the Southie and the Northie thing(Southie here who grew up in the North). what i know is, Sreesanth should not have been in the final. Praveen Kumar was injured earlier, but then i also heard he recovered. Why was he not picked is a mystery.
What i also do not understand, picking that Chawla dude ahead of Ashwin.Absolute disgrace

 

[AZ]

wins again

 

[nads_rocks]

Aleem Dar is a perfect umpire, he has had no decisions over turned and it remains the same, never challenge him

 

[Kaaatil]

This pitch had bit of bounce and a bit of spin. Those factors called for an extra seamer. That's why Ashwin was kept out. Enough with the cribbing.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Don't challenge Aleem Dar's Decision. You are wasting your Review.

 

[BaaliSoda]

143 for 3 after 32 overs

 

[kriskmk]

That would have hit the stumps. )

yea, but if you think it's a catch.. you obviously are gonna go for the catch first.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

There was a big chance that ball would have hit the stumps. But MS wanted a catch. What a retard. And to save himself from further embarrassment he referred it.

) )

 

[Arcturus]

would that have hit stumps had Dhoni not taken it?

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Aleem Dar Rocks. this is how The umpiring job is done. All other umpire should learn something from him

 

[kriskmk]

Sri Lanka playing excellent cricket here... consolidating their innings.. We are looking at 270 I think

If you have such a problem with PPers and this forum why the hell are you even on here during the final. Shouldn't you be on your own board?

You can't replace someone in the squad of 15, unless they get injured. India's best chance was if Sreesanth had hurt himself in the last week, then they could have brought in Kumar.

Exactly my thoughts, anyway let's continue our support to the team regardless of this massive goof up by MSD

 

[kriskmk]

I LOVE when Sachin bowls... He can bowl his cutters and flippers very well.

 

[ZenBowman]

If UDRS is rigged why did they not give that out?

 

[NJamal]

Maaro Teenday ko

 

[sam]

Tell me again why I was all angry at Afridi for that India love.

Afridi didn't argue for India love. He talked against hatred for India.

Again, that was in response to a question about what strategy he'd have for the next time Pakistan face India in an ICC tournament.

He tired and completely drained. Has always been impulsive and this comment mustn't be taken out of context to suggest he's doing it all for an IPL contract and blah.

Of Gambhir, what can I say? 26/11, Mumbai and Pakistan are dicey subjects. This team has nothing to do with what happened in Mumbai. Would have been better off not saying what he did.

oh,that explains it.

not everybody in this forum agrees with everything that is going.. it's not a big deal.

 

[NJamal]

148/3 after 33 overs

The rigging happens when "prediction" comes into the picture. A la the Tendulkar lbw.

With this one the video couldn't have been modified to have the ball hit bat/ glove.

Good of Afridi to speak against hatred of India. I can respect ordinary Indians feeling aggrieved over Mumbai. But that has nothing to do with the cricket team, and nor would the people of Pakistan endorse that. It's fine if a politician says that, I don't think a sportsman like Gambhir should raise such nationalistic sentiments.

 

[NJamal]

44444444444 Jaya

 

[kriskmk]

[Afridi_Fan]

Brilliant fielding effort.

SL runrate going very well here!

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

[NJamal]

Still can't believe how can a team reach the final of WC with only one decent bowler Zaheer

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Why is everybody crying to twitter about Sree and 150. Will this pitch slow down later?

 

[Arcturus]

You can't replace someone in the squad of 15, unless they get injured. India's best chance was if Sreesanth had hurt himself in the last week, then they could have brought in Kumar.

Then why wasn't praveen taken in for Nehra? Nehra had his finger injured so he was out.

 

[tahaqureshi]

50 for The Rock!

 

[nads_rocks]

Good 50 for Jaya, come on get century now.

50 for Jaya, Well played

 

[Kaaatil]

Still can't believe how can a team reach the final of WC with only one decent bowler Zaheer

With economical bowling and great batting. The game is not that complex.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Poor ball, lucky to escape with just 2 runs

 

[Munna]

another wide

 

[BaaliSoda]

Somehow almost all the Sachin's deliveries are going down the leg side

Wide

 

[tahaqureshi]

Lankans showing Younis and Misbah how to bat.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Srilankans would be lucky to reach 200 in 40 overs.

 

[Munna]

already 7 from the over ..

partnership 40 from 42 balls

 

[BaaliSoda]

7 runs from the over

162 for 3 after 35 overs

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Sri Lanka 162/3 (35.0 ov)

 

[fight_club]

Manjrekar blushing as Sachin bowls

 

[NJamal]

162/3 after 35 overs

 

[pak4life]

if these two play sensibly 270-280 should be the target

 

[Khabri420]

15 overs to go. At least 100 more runs need

 

[BaaliSoda]

Hurray! VIRAT KOHLI into the bowling

To cover sree's remaining overs

 

[kriskmk]

With economical bowling and great batting. The game is not that complex.

This is just the beginning... Pakistanis will keep harping about "crappy Indian bowling".. if Sri Lanka lose.. will also talk about how Sri Lankans "threw" their wicket away to such "shoddy" bowling by citing "bad shot selection"...blah blah blah....
been there!.. done that!

 

[BaaliSoda]

4 first ball

 

[Love Pakistan]

Kohli in attack......

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Why is Kohli bowling?

 

[AZ]

bahahahahaha.

 

[fight_club]

Jaya you are a beauty

 

[Munna]

and straight away


virat larsen not on the mark yet

 

[cricketpassion]

:4

 

[Khabri420]

:ahmed smacked for FOUR

 

[Kaaatil]

Manjrekar blushing as Sachin bowls

He's a boring commentator. And Shastri adds no value, just babbles loudly. Only Ganguly speaks sense.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Welcome Mr Kohli!

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Virat could be dangerous.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

single this time around!

 

[Love Pakistan]

Been greeted with a four......

 

[Munna]

did he call him cheekoo?

 

[BaaliSoda]

Good slower half tracker, no runs

 

[Munna]

Virat could be dangerous.

probably for his own team!

 

[sam]

Hurray! VIRAT KOHLI into the bowling

To cover sree's remaining overs

Hasn't Tendulkar covered them already? Sreesanth bowled 8 and Tendulkar bowled 2.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Why is Kohli bowling?

I think to cover for Sree

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Come on MS!

 

[BaaliSoda]

Good over by Kohli

168 for 3 after 36 overs

 

[ZenBowman]

Sri Lanka could bat India out of this game from here.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

SL need a score of around 280 here!

 

[Arcturus]

Next on will be Raina. And if either Kohli or Raina take a wicket they everyone will be praises for Dhoni's brilliant kaptaani

 

[BaaliSoda]

Hasn't Tendulkar covered them already? Sreesanth bowled 8 and Tendulkar bowled 2.

Is it! I thought Sachin bowled only one over. Then No idea, why Kohli?
