India v Sri Lanka | Match 8 | CB Series | Brisbane | 18/2/08

[161]

sharp bounce from sharma troubling the batsman.

 

[phoenix-suns]

sanga succeeds in achieving what the indian bowlers can't - for the second time now !

kashif has come up with another sensible post... keep it up dude.

 

[Master Blaster]

aNOTHER RUN OUT !!

161/4 !!

 

[Crusader]

Another run out...its getting exciting now

 

[PlanetPakistan]

kashif had told jayawardane not to come out of the crease when sanga is batting. but unfortunately jayawardane did not listen to kashif. thats why he got out like that.

No need for this buddy.

 

[phoenix-suns]

No need for this buddy.

alright i stop here.

 

[Crusader]

1010 overs to go...if SL gets 70..they will reach 236...

 

[Master Blaster]

Sanga is well set. Lanka should look for 250+ !!

171/4 40.4 overs.

 

[asifp]

stupid SriLanka , the Jaya runout probably cost them 30 runs

 

[XFactor]

Great innings from Sangakkara. Shows his class.

 

[Master Blaster]

Great knock by Sanga !!

7th ODI Hundred.

201/4

 

[Master Blaster]

Sanga gets back to back 4ssssssssss !!

 

[kablooee87]

Sangakkara gets his century.

And props to him for going for his shots in the 90s.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

What a player! As great a player as any of the Tendulkars, Laras, Wasims etc

 

[Crusader]

Chamara silva batting wickedly

 

[Crusader]

Why is Bhajji bowling 48th over ?

 

[kablooee87]

Sangakkara's really tired now. He's going for his shots though.

 

[kablooee87]

I figured Sl needed 50 runs off the final 5 overs. They've had 32 off 3 so far.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

SL really need an Afridi type player in their team.

 

[kablooee87]

to Kumar Sangakkara.

 

[kablooee87]

SL really need an Afridi type player in their team.

Yea Silva has really let them down. Would've been nice if Sangakkara's partner could get a few boundaries rather than simply turning the strike over (and often he couldn't even do that).

 

[PlanetPakistan]

gone after playing a gem of an innings!

well played

 

[Crusader]

Chamara gone finally...

 

[kablooee87]

And another one goes.

This is a major characteristic of playing in Australia. You really have to hit it well to clear teh boundary. Mishits will not go for 6.

 

[Crusader]

Wicket is playing slow

 

[Crusader]

Wicket has become very slow as the match progressed...they have to take lot of singles

 

[muthoo]

Well played Sangakarra

Will be an interesting chase.

 

[kablooee87]

238 the final score.

My gut tells me India won't have trouble with this. But I'm not really one to trust my gut.

 

[Dhonifan]

Great batting by Sanga. Hats off!

Test of character coming up for Indian team.

240 is going to be hard but not that hard if 4 batsmen are determined to make a 50.

 

[Sahastra]

238 - i reckon atleast 30 runs more than what India should have allowed after restricting them to less than 90 at half way mark.

Irfan was off-color and so were a few fielders.

Indian batting lineup scares me no ends. Dhoni is proving to be an idiot. Where is Raina?

I think India will fold for less than 150.

I agree 100% with your statement in bold. Where is Sehwag the century maker of Adelaide????

 

[buddhika_s]

This game is in Adelaide. Why does the Topic says, "Brisbane"?

 

[Crusader]

Test of character coming up for Indian team.

Which 4 according to you? One must be Yuvraj, and other must be Uthapam?

 

[Dhonifan]

I think India will fold for less than 150.

You and me both. Why just Raina, where is Sehwag?? Yuvraj better make at least 50 today considering he couldnt even get the runout right. His bowlign sucked too. Uthappa could have been dropped easily.

India folding up for less than 200 is a real possibility.

 

[Dhonifan]

Which 4 according to you? One must be Yuvraj, and other must be Uthapam?

I didn't say 4 will make, I said if 4 will make...kinda like hoping
sachin
gambhir
dhoni
sharma

 

[FAM]

India 2/0 (1.0 ov)

 

[Crusader]

And here goes Tendu....what a ball from Malinga

 

[Crusader]

I didn't say 4 will make, I said if 4 will make...kinda like hoping
sachin
gambhir
dhoni
sharma

You may strike out sachin now

 

[PlanetPakistan]

wow Sachin had no idea there.

 

[Crusader]

wow Sachin had no idea there.

That was a terrible outswinger..Bad luck sachin

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Malinga bowling brilliantly here. Sangakara drops a tough catch

 

[XFactor]

Robin Uthappa is finally coming in at the top of the order.

 

[XFactor]

.... and gets himself run out at 10.

 

[buddhika_s]

GG caught Sanga, bowled Amarasinghe,

I don't think he's out though.

 

[FAM]

India 35/3

 

[Random Aussie]

India always find a way to make games interesting

 

[Crusader]

India struggling ...pathetic

 

[DHONI183]

Beautiful shot !!!

Good luck Yuvi mate, at least today .

 

[Megadeth]

w*t*f is going on with our batting..this looks like our team in the 90s minus tendulkar...

 

[DHONI183]

Rohit Sharma has some serious problem while handling the short ball. I don´t know he lifts his left leg in the air (which certainly unables him to play it that well) .

 

[DHONI183]

Beauty from Yuuuuvi !!!!!!

 

[wanted_desi]

Yuvraj cmon win this for india

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Yuvi playing well today

23 of 25 balls...and in comes Murali

 

[Megadeth]

can they pull-off the once-famous yuv-kaif matchwinning partnerships..

 

[DHONI183]

Rohit scores first run off Murali .

 

[Megadeth]

Y on fire!!... is Deepika in the stands??

 

[DHONI183]

Yuvraj really playing like a Yuvraj here .

 

[DHONI183]

And Yuvraj just survives a brain-fart .

 

[Crusader]

Yuvi on fireeeeeeeeee

 

[PlanetPakistan]

some magical stroke play from Yuvi

91-3 after 20.4

 

[DHONI183]

Yuvi batting like an ego-hurt man .

 

[PlanetPakistan]

And Yuvraj just survives a brain-fart .

I would say it was just good bowling.

 

[Crusader]

Yuvi scored 4 singles and 8 boundaries..looks so easy

 

[Matic]

Much needed partnership for India. It's even stevens again, more in India's favour I'd say.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

good captaincy have both spinners on at the same time...

oh and Rohit is gone.

 

[Megadeth]

Glad that Rohit Sharma's having a good outing as well....

F**k..i jinxed him!!!!!

 

[Matic]

I spoke too soon! Rohit Sharma OUT. Murali strikes.

Yuvi must continue the momentum.

 

[Megadeth]

I spoke too soon! Rohit Sharma OUT. Murali strikes.

Yuvi must continue the momentum.

he's in real danger of running out of partners..dhoni is the only hope..

 

[wanted_desi]

Is it me or Uthappa is just slogger, he can't play natural shots. there is always risk involved in those

 

[Matic]

Is it me or Uthappa is just slogger, he can't play natural shots. there is always rish involved in those

I agree. He was a good tail end slogger when Australia toured India and had some solid shots off the bat. He shouldn't come in at 3, more of 6-7 I reckon.

 

[Megadeth]

yuvraj dispatches the old man for a huge SIX!!

 

[Matic]

India need 123 runs with 6 wickets remaining off 24.1 overs.

 

[DHONI183]

Dhoni coughing now . I just hope he is alright ........ He is asking for drinks.




Ah´ a nice shy smile signals all the "okays" for me .

 

[Matic]

Yuvraj is playing his best innings of the tour.

 

[Megadeth]

Yuvraj is playing his best innings of the tour.

if he wins this for us..he can consider his place secure for another 2 months..

 

[uzzy_k]

Damnn , he's ok, wanted him to get ill and get offf

 

[Random Aussie]

if he wins this for us..he can consider his place secure for another 2 months..

Hope you are not serious there.

 

[Matic]

Wow what a yorker, Yuvraj gone!

 

[wanted_desi]

big big wicket

 

[vandermadaveg]

Dhoni 40 in 55 with 0 boundries
