[pak4life]

wow what a catch

 

[Oxy]

168-2 off 29.3

 

[Oxy]

Lara edges through 1st slip - Strauss at 2nd slip - no 1st slip!

 

[iZeeshan]

Four more for Lara. Quite lucky IMHO.

 

[pak4life]

collys catch is like a goal keeper tipping the ball over the bar but he held on to it. brilliant stuff

 

[ThaSiccSense]

Marlon that stupid mofo ran Lara out, disgraceful!

 

[iZeeshan]

173/3 30.3 Overs

 

[iZeeshan]

Wow, what a sad way to end the career.

But Inzi's moment was sadder. He had a better farewell. I actually teared on that occasion.

 

[iZeeshan]

Wow, Samuels is gonna remember that his whole life. He ended one of the best players ever's career with a stupid run out!

 

[pak4life]

will the crowd exit like afridi style? neways me off!

 

[hasan316]

I hate samules.

 

[iZeeshan]

I don't feel like watching anymore.

Samuels should have sacrificed himself JUST for this occasion. Stupid bas*ard

 

[TurkishCricketFan]

Samuels you have just become one of my least liked players.

 

[Daoud]

Dear oh dear. Samuels will have a real pariah status. Im not watching the match, but could Samuels have sacrificed his wicket sort of like Damien Martyn did with Steve Waugh or was it those poor calls where there never was a run and he just didnt give Lara enough time to do anything. Either way its such a shame that such an unbelievable career ended in such a sad way

 

[hasan316]

I don't feel like watching anymore.

Samuels should have sacrificed himself JUST for this occasion. Stupid bas*ard

True me too.

 

[ThaSiccSense]

Just made a mistake, probably feels bad enough, Lara will be remembered for his great career not this dead match.

The way Piterson got excited after Lara got out annoyed the hell out of me.. ofcourse you
will be happy when ever you take a wicket but he kept it going for too long !!
