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

[BaaliSoda]

Ravibot with his obvious insights int he comm box. Can we get Nasser please!

 

[NJamal]

Indian players look so desperate in the field

 

[pak4life]

come on liven things up been boring watch soo far

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Will SL drop Tendulkar today, as they did with Eoin Morgan?

You might temper with Hawk eye in this game. But drop catches? You are not playing Pakistan.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Welcome to PP Kamal! Didn't know Vaughan changed his spellings!

 

[BaaliSoda]

Sree needs to get rid of Dilshan and Possibly Mahela within the first mandatory powerplay to give us some chance into the game.

"Sangakarra has stuffed Dhoni.. He shouted Tail in the 1 st toss and lost it .. You can hear it in on air..."

It shows Sri Lankan Captain was focussed and Indian Captain was asleep.

Yeh to nainsafee hai, par chalo theek hai - Allah meherbaan to gadha bhi pehlwan, aur usne ab tak hamara saath diya hai

 

[NJamal]

Dilshan is hitting straight to the fielders

 

[Afridi_Fan]

9/0 in 4.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Good start for us, 9 for no loss after 4 overs

 

[NJamal]

9/0 after 4 overs

 

[ZenBowman]

You might temper with Hawk eye in this game. But drop catches? You are not playing Pakistan.

You are forgetting Sri lanka's fielding against New Zealand where they dropped Morgan 3-4 times.

 

[IAJ]

this must be two-paced wicket? Some of the balls seem to stop at the batsman while others go straight through.

 

[talha3]

Openers hitting it straight to fielders. Something's gotta give.

 

[ScotRaz]

Openers hitting it straight to fielders. Something's gotta give.

Shhhhh! It's all part of the plan!

 

[BaaliSoda]

Good stop by Yuvi at Point

 

[Afridi_Fan]

India's best chance of taking a wicket? Refer the LBW to 3rd umpire and hope that same guy is sitting on the system who was on it during Ajmal's over to Tendulkar.

 

[Animal]

If what I heard/seen from the TV was right then, sanga called for tails first and so MSD was told to have won the toss by jeff crowe. Then Sanga said I also called for Heads only.This confusion lead to re-toss.

Yes. That was what I and 5 others watching the match with me saw and heard.

Chal jaane de yaar. All said and done, god is on our side

 

[BaaliSoda]

Another very good over by Zak in progress, could it be Maiden again?

 

[sam]

Tharanga and Dilshan - the tournament's best openers- look clueless!

 

[IAJ]

the ball seems to follow UV

 

[NJamal]

Lankans also doing Tuk Tuk- FIXED

 

[SameerP]

What a start by Sri lanka, 9 runs in 5 overs

 

[Afridi_Fan]

9/0 in 5.

) )

 

[BaaliSoda]

Yep! Maiden again from Zak. Good work so far

 

[IAJ]

9-0 after 5 overs!

 

[pak4life]

tharanga doing a misbah

 

[BaaliSoda]

Yes. That was what I and 5 others watching the match with me saw and heard.

Chal jaane de yaar. All said and done, god is on our side

Hoping the same

 

[tahaqureshi]

India's bowling attack suddenly looking competent!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Finally it seems like an ODI.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Dilshan hits a 4 off Sree

 

[kriskmk]

i am glad India is chasing.. I had said this earlier.. Sri Lanka can chase any total down!

 

[NJamal]

4444444444444444 Dilshan

 

[purplehaze]

India's best chance of taking a wicket? Refer the LBW to 3rd umpire and hope that same guy is sitting on the system who was on it during Ajmal's over to Tendulkar.

After today's toss, I actually to want it to happen! Winning today's match won't be enough, I'd rather prefer winnings in a way which leaves Sanaga fuming

 

[Bhaijaan]

I think any thing above 180 will be tough to chase here !

This wicket is not easy to bat on, typical Mumbai stuff.

 

[IAJ]

Yeah kya khusroon ki tarah dance kar raha hai?

 

[BaaliSoda]

Good comeback by Sree 145.3 KMPH

 

[NJamal]

i am glad India is chasing.. I had said this earlier.. Sri Lanka can chase any total down!

And what about India?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Sreesanth back to his normal ways.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Another superb shot by Dilly goes for point boundary

 

[NJamal]

44444444444 more Yes Sree is the man

 

[Bhaijaan]

India's bowling attack suddenly looking competent!

Pitch is not easy, Sree getting a beating. Retard :kami

 

[Express Pace]

Sree bowling 90MPH, guns must be jacked right up today.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Sree is entering his usual Volatile state

 

[bluevision]

sree back to wat he does best...getting scrwd

 

[sam]

Dilshan realizes he's getting ahead of the plans and stops scoring.

 

[BaaliSoda]

8 runs off the over

17 for no loss after 6 overs

 

[Afridi_Fan]

17/0 in 6.

 

[tahaqureshi]

Jaheer bhai bowling well here!

 

[pwarekar]

:4 :4 Dilshan smashing sree

 

[ZenBowman]

Sree bowling 90MPH, guns must be jacked right up today.

It is frustrating to watch this, even Zaheer bowling faster today. Shows that usually they are not putting forth a full effort.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Zaheer becomes the 2nd bowler to bowl 3 maidens in a WC final since 1983. He's only bowled 3 overs. He needs two more for an all-time record

 

[NJamal]

17/0 after 6 overs

 

[BaaliSoda]

Chasing anything over 220 will be a tough ask for our batters.

 

[tahaqureshi]

I think any thing above 180 will be tough to chase here !

This wicket is not easy to bat on, typical Mumbai stuff.

I still remember that one Aussie test match in Mumbai where they got out for 80 odd or something. It was a dust bowl.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

There. One gone 9 to go.

End it fast.

 

[kamal]

Out

 

[Atif]

thranga is

 

[BaaliSoda]

Good catch by Sehwag

Tharanga gone. Zak is closing in on Afridi's wicket tally

 

[SameerP]

Upul tharanga out.. Sri lanka

 

[sam]

Tharanga out.

****! Zaheer gets a wicket.

 

[Express Pace]

Tharanga gone!

 

[pak4life]

tharanga misery over

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

India Favs now.

My 20000000 $ on india now

 

[NJamal]

OUTTTTTTTTT Tharanga

 

[SameerP]

Good catch by Sehwag

Tharanga gone. Zak is closing in on Afridi's wicket tally

Good job by ZAK

 

[kriskmk]

And what about India?

India should be able to chase down up to 270...

 

[shabbu1]

Making Jaheer look like McGrath here lol

 

[ShaunMarshRules]

Respect for Zaheer Khan. Sachin or Yuvraj will probably take player of the tournament if India wins, but Khan has been the real glue holding their bowling attack together.

 

[akamaka]

Jaheer " greatest phasst bowler of all time" STRIKES!!!

 

[pwarekar]

tharanga goneee

 

[BaaliSoda]

Now two of the most dangerous Lankan batsmen are at the crease. If we can get them before he score reaches 50 that will be awesome.

 

[SameerP]

India's bowling attack suddenly looking competent!

I don't see how you can criticize Indian bowling when Pakistan were all out for 231

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Zaheer's tight bowling pays off and he has Tharanga caught by Sehwag. Disappointing innings on the big stage - SL 1/17 (6.1)

 

[pwarekar]

Jaheer " greatest phasst bowler of all time" STRIKES!!!

oh yeah

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Sangarakara would be damn nervous considering Zaheer's top form.

 

[shabbu1]

If Ind get Sanga early the game, and cup, is theirs

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

ZaltzCricket Andy Zaltzman
That was a terrific ball by ZK, seaming away from off-stump, and a fine diving two-hander by the Delhi Destroyer.

Everybody is praising India.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Great "assposing" going on in the field today.

 

[ShaunMarshRules]

Look at the Indian fielding. That's what you need to do in a big knockout game. Ah, Pakistan....
