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

[IAJ]

Yadav's average speed today 138 and fastest around 141.

 

[London_Lahori]

Had SL won the toss the famed india batting line up would also be in tatters.

 

[Aman]

Aside from the first few games, this tournament has sucked. If it weren't for India's aggressive batting this tournament would have been a complete flop.

 

[RamLakhan]

Indian Trundler Bowlers are again proving effective than English World's best Giant bowlers against Srilanka in seaming English Conditions

 

[bin_pendi_ka_lota]

Out field is very slow rightnow. Hopefull it will get better as the day progreeses

 

[WebGuru]

I am missing Sir Jaddu...anybody else?

 

[RamLakhan]

That's perfectly right bro

 

[Kianig89]

52 in 21 overs this is even worst than 1970s

 

[Aman]

That's perfectly right bro

Just shows theres only one quality team in ODI's the rest are all well behind

 

[Tom1]

Gavaskar trying hard to state that Umesh is pacy..

 

[WebGuru]

Who else is missing Sir Kula and Sir Jaddu?

 

[jattafridi]

Another one sided match easy win for India

 

[Zahid87]

Sadly for Sl the racial superiority of India and Pakistan will always show in these big matches.

You what?

 

[WebGuru]

WOW Dhoni average 14 with the ball...got a wicket...

 

[Aman]

Maybe the ICC were right in getting rid of the Champion Trophy?

 

[RamLakhan]

India should have gone with extra seam bowler in place of Ashwin for this match against Lanka

Vinay Kumar in place of Ashwin
or Pathan in place of Rohit Sharma (and ask Karthik or Kohli to open)

 

[WebGuru]

Love this shot by Mathews

 

[IAJ]

Shot Angelo!

 

[WebGuru]

Suddenly we will see old Ishant back now...

 

[WebGuru]

and finally Ishant economy is start going up as usual...

 

[WebGuru]

Prasad Desai: "Will we see Dhoni handing over keeper gloves to DK and having a go with his slow seam ups along with Kohli?"

 

[Tom1]

Dhoni to Bowl !!!!

 

[bin_pendi_ka_lota]

Vow, Dhoni gonna bowl now. Another Rock Star stunt

 

[WebGuru]

DK got the gloves now...

 

[WebGuru]

Dhoni to lead from front...

 

[WebGuru]

here comes our Sir Jaddu...

 

[bin_pendi_ka_lota]

LOL.. Dhoni is the captain. But Sir Jadeja is the Lord

 

[IndianWillow]

Sri lanka need to be careful here. More wickets and they are utterly lost. Some how they need to be positive, yet cut down risks, and take this to the 35th over without loosing wickets, before launching into attack.

 

[WebGuru]

Sir Jaddu with pink towel looks so unique you know...

 

[KingKhanWC]

Jadeja is the most over rated slow left arm of all time. Just because a slow bowler can vary pace shouldn't be tough for good batsmen. Mahela will play him with ease.

 

[Aman]

Surely you target him?..

 

[WebGuru]

Dhoni to bowl...

 

[style_guru]

Jadeja is the most over rated slow left arm of all time. Just because a slow bowler can vary pace shouldn't be tough for good batsmen. Mahela will play him with ease.

Ask Misbah and you'll get the answer

 

[pakistanalltheway]

Dhoni bowling is the ultimate troll .

 

[Aman]

Mahelas look

 

[pakistanalltheway]

Haha out

 

[WebGuru]

Oh Dhoni got another wicket...

 

[pakistanalltheway]

Crazy swing .

 

[IndianWillow]

Jadeja has been successful because most of his deliveries are at the stumps, and often do not turn. He mixes up turning and straight deliveries, and many times he got wickets when batsmen played for the turn but got a straight one, and wham!

 

[WebGuru]

haha hilarious...

 

[jusarrived]

Jadeja is the most over rated slow left arm of all time. Just because a slow bowler can vary pace shouldn't be tough for good batsmen. Mahela will play him with ease.

you could say that about Ajmal too , or any spin bowler for that matter .

 

[bin_pendi_ka_lota]

Pace and Bounce and movement from Dhoni. Jaya Out... SL reviewed

 

[WebGuru]

Edge...

 

[pakistanalltheway]

Lol bad decision

 

[MarkCooper]

Not Out

 

[Aman]

Dhoni is just a very likable person

 

[bin_pendi_ka_lota]

Inside edge. Not Out

 

[KingKhanWC]

Poor decision by Dar, clearly made it under pressure. Don't worry Aleem you won't lose your IPL contract because it's Dhoni.

 

[MarkCooper]

Aleem has had an awful 2013.

 

[pakistanalltheway]

Mahela complaining about the run

 

[Saurav]

lol Dhoni bowling okay

 

[pakistanalltheway]

Dhoni is just a very likable person

True .

 

[WebGuru]

But one thing is for sure here they will show some respect for dhoni he don't bowl so often...

 

[pakistanalltheway]

Poor decision by Dar, clearly made it under pressure. Don't worry Aleem you won't lose your IPL contract because it's Dhoni.

A lot of noise in the ground so I can excuse him for that one .

 

[RamLakhan]

Just shows theres only one quality team in ODI's the rest are all well behind

England are still competitive
South Africa are out of form (few injuries, no Kallis...)
Sri Lanka trying best (but they prefer Sub-continent pitches & of late they have developed well on Australian conditions)

and I agree with other teams. It is so disappointing to see Australia fall off so badly (I thought their decline was temporary, but now they consistently seem to be losing it up). WI never took off. NZ is disappointing - never in their history could able to make real impact (except 1992 WC league & one knockout tourney maybe in Kenya). Finally Pakistan are having their own multiple problems. Zim is dead. Bangladesh are in hope, hope and hope.

 

[KingKhanWC]

you could say that about Ajmal too , or any spin bowler for that matter .

lol. This is how laughable Indian fans are comparing Jadeja to Ajmal. Do you really want me to explain the difference between the two?

 

[GrandMaster]

The reason for his white beard is not his age but the make up. when he is not playing cricket, he is busy shooting for commercials

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

 

[Kianig89]

Really this is it...... making fun of hapless Lankans

 

[pakistanalltheway]

If a part timer like Dhoni can get it to swing like crazy why can't the regular bowlers ?

 

[Electron]

Dhoni <3

 

[WebGuru]

Ok i understand the plan now...Sir Jaddu will put pressure from one end and dhoni will get wickets from other end...

 

[Aman]

He should bowl more often much better than kohli

 

[WebGuru]

to Sir Jaddu...

 

[pakistanalltheway]

Ishant
What a donkey

 

[KingKhanWC]

A lot of noise in the ground so I can excuse him for that one .

It's always noisy at cricket games, don't listen to these commentators bro. Dar has gone downhill in recent months, this isn't a secret.

Nice dive Ishant.

 

[Aman]

Is Ashwin even going to bowl?

 

[MarkCooper]

I love watching Sharma field. He kind of collapses on the ball.

 

[bin_pendi_ka_lota]

Jadeja is the most over rated slow left arm of all time. Just because a slow bowler can vary pace shouldn't be tough for good batsmen. Mahela will play him with ease.

LOL... Are you serious about rating thing ? Its not his fault that no one except Lankans have ever shown any spine against him. But then again, Lankans can bat against any spinner.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Ok i understand the plan now...Sir Jaddu will put pressure from one end and dhoni will get wickets from other end...

Mahela can play him with his eyes closed, he won't come up against mice batsmen everyday

 

[pakistanalltheway]

It's always noisy at cricket games, don't listen to these commentators bro. Dar has gone downhill in recent months, this isn't a secret.

Nice dive Ishant.

Will agree that Dar hasn't been no where near his best .

 

[bin_pendi_ka_lota]

lol. This is how laughable Indian fans are comparing Jadeja to Ajmal. Do you really want me to explain the difference between the two?

Most Indian fans dont rate jadeja at all..... Its laughable that Pakistani fans feel threatened by his stats.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Cut beautifully.

 

[WebGuru]

Mahela can play him with his eyes closed, he won't come up against mice batsmen everyday

But mahela always play with one eye closed...you know what i mean...

 

[leatherface58]

Lol Indians treating this game like it's a warm up

 

[Electron]

lol. This is how laughable Indian fans are comparing Jadeja to Ajmal. Do you really want me to explain the difference between the two?

Jaddu is a matchwinner. Ranked 4th in the world, just helped us whitewash Aussies 4-0,far better batsman, 100 times better fielder..
Jaddu rocked CT, Ajju flopped. Infact, Jaddu has outbowled, outbatted, outfielded Ajmal massively in any tournament they hv played together.
Sir Jaddu is awesome.

 

[WebGuru]

This decision of dhoni to bowl will cost big to india in the end...The pressure is gone from both batsmen...

 

[bin_pendi_ka_lota]

Mahelaa is scoring a boundry every over.

 

[RamLakhan]

That was the best chance! India don't have fourth seam bowler (all part-timers are spinners), Tendulkar was the only other person whom could have tried! So Dhoni did right especially when Karthik is there to take the gloves.

 

[GrandMaster]

The difference between the two is that Ajmal is a specialist spinner and Jadeja is more of an all rounder

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

lol. This is how laughable Indian fans are comparing Jadeja to Ajmal. Do you really want me to explain the difference between the two?

 

[pakistanalltheway]

jaddu is a matchwinner. Ranked 4th in the world, just helped us whitewash aussies 4-0,far better batsman, 100 times better fielder..
