India v Sri Lanka | ICC Champions Trophy - Semi-Final | 20/06/13

[Electron]

If Indian trundlers can bowl well here imagine what Pakistan and England would have done?

If Pakistan trundlers could actually do something, then you would have probably been seeing them live rather than imagining .

 

[Aman]

Kumar to Sangakkara, FOUR, Sangakkara takes a bit of risk this time and it pays off, skips down the track and thrashes that length delivery through cover for a boundary, the first four since the fourth over

That's how you play trundlers...

 

[lestaboy]

IF sl make in acess of 270-280 im sure india will choke

 

[IndianWillow]

If it rains, D/L will favour India completely for this scoring rate.

 

[DarthSImian]

Juat look at dhoni's beard he and me are same age infact i have got long beard than him my beard is all black ... i still cant believe he is 31 he should be 36-37 that i believe is his real age

I am 31 and my hair is half white already

 

[Haripotter]

Same thing srilanka thot wen they played 2011 WC final .lol

 

[bin_pendi_ka_lota]

^ Their wont be any rain it seems . Weather has cleared up a bit.

 

[Aman]

Seriously does kumar have bowl 10 straight all the time? His economy will look much better than gun bowlers economy who bowl at the death and powerplay overs..

 

[bin_pendi_ka_lota]

A maiden from Bhuvi against Sanga... Excellent new ball bowling

 

[Haripotter]

IF sl make in acess of 270-280 im sure india will choke

Same thing srilanka thot wen they played 2011 WC final .lol

 

[sticky_wkt]

Come on Lanka, this is not a test match, score some runs ! Our batsmen need some pratice before the finals

 

[style_guru]

Sanga trying to upset the bowlers by walking down the track. If he's gone, it'll be a huge blow to the Lanku's.

I think Sri Lanka would take this start. It could have been a lot worse.
200 could be a winning total here.

Most teams score at the same rate in the first 15 as last 15

Batting powerplay*

You're kidding right?... Usually with wickets in hand you double your score from 30 overs in the last 20

 

[KingKhanWC]

A sticky wicket, tough for batting out there.

250 is a very good score here. Sanga well in now.

 

[bin_pendi_ka_lota]

Dhoni please Put one more person on legside. Ishant can bowl wicket taking delkivery tooo....

 

[bin_pendi_ka_lota]

Gonee.... Thiramana... Out

 

[prakash@raina fan]

Joke of the day : twoslips for Ishant

 

[Saurav]

brilliant catch by Rainaboy

 

[Saurav]

brilliant catch by Rainaboy

 

[KingKhanWC]

Terrible shot. Will Dilshan return?

 

[Haripotter]

Hmmm... Preserving wickets at cost of slow RR didn't help after all ....

 

[bin_pendi_ka_lota]

Joke of the day : twoslips for Ishant

Caught at second slip.

 

[prakash@raina fan]

Joke of the day : twoslips for Ishant

Completely pwned by sir Ishant

 

[style_guru]

Finally SL's two stalwarts in the middle. Indian trundlers, be afraid, be very afraid

 

[klklkl]

This is looking like the 92 world cup wherein Pakistan were 36/2 and Javed and Imran has a 130 + partnership and last 20 overs went for 150 + and Pakistan made 250.

England choked in the 2nd innings. If SL get 250 then India will Choke.

 

[Cricfan4eva]

Glimpses of '08 Ishant!

 

[jusarrived]

You're kidding right?... Usually with wickets in hand you double your score from 30 overs in the last 20

Atleast India does .

100 in first 15
100 in next 20
100 in last 15

 

[IAJ]

All teams in this tournament have just given too much respect to the Indian bowlers. OK, you leave the good balls but have to put away the bad ones. If you don't score of the bad ones either you will eventually edge it to slips as Thriamanne just did.

 

[bin_pendi_ka_lota]

Terrible shot. Will Dilshan return?

Yes, He can come without a runner

 

[Bhaijaan]

What? Ishant took a wicket. ))

 

[KingKhanWC]

The two best batsmen playing today out in the middle. Sanga looks solid.

 

[soso_killer]

zzz...

 

[Madplayer]

Indian PPers have perfected the art of jinxing the other teams/players.

 

[Saurav]

need to separate these two ASAP

 

[Kianig89]

WC final all over again Sl started slow there as well........

 

[Saurav]

Indian PPers have perfected the art of jinxing the other teams/players.

c'mon on Mahela

 

[bin_pendi_ka_lota]

We need Jaya out. He is the threat who can take the game away from us

 

[KingKhanWC]

Yes, He can come without a runner

I know the rules Harsha Bhogle, I was wondering if he would come back out soon or with the tail?

 

[Bhaijaan]

Crucial partnership for Lanka, India must attack!!

 

[leatherface58]

WC final all over again Sl started slow there as well........

Yeah but not this slow. This is like Pakistan batting.

 

[bin_pendi_ka_lota]

Sanga and Jaya seemed to nbe in ominous form. They seem to gonna bat out remaining 33 overs

 

[Tom1]

Is this pitch that difficult??? Srilankan batsmen making it look so..have to wait till Thisara Perera bats.

 

[Tom1]

ISHANT on fire !!!

 

[Haripotter]

Moody jixed sanga

 

[Saurav]

Sanga gone edging at 2nd slip again

 

[kungfu90]

Sanga out.

 

[Kianig89]

Sl way too slow

 

[Madplayer]

c'mon on Mahela

Aaaaand gone

 

[Aman]

SL batting like Pakistan

 

[Cricfan4eva]

Now if only we take out Mahela we'd have completely broken the SL batting. Till he's there SL can still post 200+, Mathews is no mug with bat either.

 

[IAJ]

Lols that's what happens when you play defensive cricket like Pakistan. Rubbish batting so far, and good bowling by India for keeping it tight.

 

[pakistanalltheway]

 

[Kianig89]

So far SF's have been very boring...............really disgusting

 

[KingKhanWC]

Lanka could fall apart now. Another one sided semi final, toss being MOM again.

 

[Cricfan4eva]

As usual people making it seem like its poor batting rather than good bowling. India have bowled amazingly well today, Ishant hasn't bowled a half+short delivery and Yadav sacrificed pace to maintain good line and length. And this is just a perfect setting for a bowler like Bhuvy.

 

[bin_pendi_ka_lota]

I know the rules Harsha Bhogle, I was wondering if he would come back out soon or with the tail?

I am not sure. May be after fall of next wicket. But then i think it must be 9 down because time he spent outside the field has to come into picture too.

 

[Madplayer]

Indian PPers have perfected the art of jinxing the other teams/players.

Worth mentioning this again.

 

[Saurav]

another good catch by Raina

best fielding side in CT?you betcha

 

[bin_pendi_ka_lota]

Jaya is gonna play another inning outshining that of one in filnals @ Wankhede.

 

[WebGuru]

So far SF's have been very boring...............really disgusting

ICC & Weather ruined it...

 

[bin_pendi_ka_lota]

Dilshan seems not in a hurry.... Enjoying the view. he wont be back

 

[Bhaijaan]

Ishant Sharma on fire.

 

[Electron]

Love Umesh's action.. jogs in gently to bowl 140. Easy on eyes.

 

[IAJ]

Where is Kapugedera? I remember he and Angelo winning a match against India some years ago and he was a good fielder too.

 

[bin_pendi_ka_lota]

I knew u were a rotten fellow.. But you outdone yourself here.

khisiyani billi , khambhaa Noche.....

 

[WebGuru]

That awkward moment when Ishant economy is still under 2 after 4 overs and got 2 wickets already...

 

[bin_pendi_ka_lota]

Indian PPers have perfected the art of jinxing the other teams/players.

Listen to Gavaskar and learn

 

[Haripotter]

SIR Jaddu uses pink towel in the field ... Euww Dats girly

 

[Kianig89]

these SF should have been D/N.....this defies logic

 

[Tom1]

If India were in this situation or 175 all out, everyone would have said about how they can't handle the moving ball, short ball, swing etc etc..now...just silent.

 

[WebGuru]

SIR Jaddu uses pink towel in the field ... Euww Dats girly

Sir always unique you know...

 

[ghalib]

That awkward moment when Ishant economy is still under 2 after 4 overs and got 2 wickets already...

He hasn't settled in his rhythm yet...

 

[WebGuru]

So when Sir Kula is coming to bat? I want him to face Sir Jaddu...a battle of big heads...

 

[bin_pendi_ka_lota]

He has started jinxing our bowling. Its game over for us now. Please change the commentators

 

[WebGuru]

Yadav Malcom average speed today is 138kmph...

His beard is grey bcos of playing in different weather conditions all around the world ..
In India, its very strict.. v can't simply roam around with fake age

I think he shaves with foam mixed in honey

But Dhoni plays and has athleticism like 19 year guy which should only be our concern!

See how long Afridi lasted and how much he was effective
