Colombo is nice , Galle real se#y . You can score decent quality greens on the beach from locals
Still 62 on 44 is not acceptable these days.
It was the best batting pitch of Lanka, you were short 10-20
So now Pakistan will have to beat SL big and Eng will have to beat NZ by a decent score.
Were you watching or just assuming?
Watching.. after long time watched a tournament.
No they're not. If they were so good they would have beaten Pakistan and India in the Asia Cup. And btw they had pretty good opportunities to beat both. Hasaranga is just one player and eventhough he may be a world-class, the remaining 16 overs still have to be bowled by the other bowlers.
Depends on conditions. It is not automatic!
Pak out now. NZ RRR is 3.5. You are talking about Pak beating SL by 100 + runs and Eng beating NZ by 70+ territory. Fantasy league stuff now !
Its 3.05 now... keeps on changingPak out now. NZ RRR is 3.5. You are talking about Pak beating SL by 100 + runs and Eng beating NZ by 70+ territory. Fantasy league stuff now !
3.05.. doubt Kiwis and Lankans would fold but you never knowPak out now. NZ RRR is 3.5. You are talking about Pak beating SL by 100 + runs and Eng beating NZ by 70+ territory. Fantasy league stuff now !
It is not worth replying, but I still did. As we say here, it goes without saying!
it didn’t change it was 3.05 after they won..
3.050 ..but yesPak out now. NZ RRR is 3.5. You are talking about Pak beating SL by 100 + runs and Eng beating NZ by 70+ territory. Fantasy league stuff now !
Haha, first time I've heard from Ravindra and he came across as very gracious.
He was and as said he observed bowling slow got him turn ,shows Kiwis think tank and players are so much better than Lankans bowing full tosses.
It was spin bowling at it's finest!I remember that game ! What a classic ! NZ just couldnt play Herath, couldnt even put bat to ball.
Lol your message isn't even cryptic anymore....we all can hear it
I think that game was the catalyst for them in that tournament, could this match be the catalyst for NZ
Yeah if Babar scores a 50 ball 100 he could be the worst ever player to score 500 runs in world T20s.
What was cryptic about my previous posts?
This one had clearly written the gloating over neighbors elimination...but yeah I am on the same boat. Good riddance
Er yeah I always say that’s what makes forums spicy…and no not gloating but i would support PCT only over BD, Eng and maybe Afg.. i doubt Pak posters prefer India making it.. I’m sure India is last for most.
Count me in too, when you're relying on others every single tournament, you deserve to be sent packing on the first flight home.
Following is going to happen next
why do indian football fans go to watch their team given how India is so pathetic in football even with 1 billion people?Lanka still has rich history behind in World cricket.
What about minnows BANGLADESH fans who came out to support useless Bangladesh , who haven't eon anything in cricket.
They have talent and skill, but lack professionalism. I have said here a million times, it all starts from school - the basics.
why would I like people that treat women worse than animals.I thought Indians liked Afghanistan.
Also, why do you hate England?
And I thought I was the one with the crazy predictions.
Yeah, calling women poppet, hen, etc is quite demeaning.
They should wait for T5 to flourish. 20 overs is too many overs for them.
Yup.. every Qtr the come up with ways to make life terrible for women, they are probably the last team I support now that I think of it.
Yes and that game is played before SL vs Pak. India have a better chance to get to semis than Pakistan.
InshallahBangladesh have nothing at stake here.
I would be happy if India get knocked out. Want to enjoy an India-free semi-final.
Will depend upon NZ Eng on how much the margin should be or is there a margin at all.. If kiwis win they Q
69 runs margin minus NZ's loss margin vs England. Either NZ beats Eng or SL gets a consolation win against Pakistan. Those two scenario looks more likely.

Nothing personal bud - all in good fun!chalo koi nahiView attachment 162116
yeah no worries, I didn't take it personal anywayNothing personal bud - all in good fun!
Yeah for sure Babar is a misfit for T20s and doesn't deserve a place but he believes in the chooran that Pak will be a world class team as soon as you kick out Rizwan and Babar. Half job done with Riz gone and now with Babar going as well, very soon Pak will be a world beating champion team !@Rana ben stoke Crying in a corner after Today result.
Rana be like - ye hamare dukh khatam kyu ni hote hai re baba.
When did he claim that ... you are the one selling choorun here!Yeah for sure Babar is a misfit for T20s and doesn't deserve a place but he believes in the chooran that Pak will be a world class team as soon as you kick out Rizwan and Babar. Half job done with Riz gone and now with Babar going as well, very soon Pak will be a world beating champion team !

But with Rizwan gone, Pakistan did reach the next round which they have struggled to do since last 4 years. With babar gone they might have reached the semis?Yeah for sure Babar is a misfit for T20s and doesn't deserve a place but he believes in the chooran that Pak will be a world class team as soon as you kick out Rizwan and Babar. Half job done with Riz gone and now with Babar going as well, very soon Pak will be a world beating champion team !
He has got to be kidding? These guys would had never survived playing for India, the amount of ridicule Pandya got lolDasun Shanaka urges government action over rising negativity
Sri Lanka captain Dasun Shanaka has called for government intervention to address what he described as a growing culture of negativity surrounding the national cricket team, warning that it is damaging players’ mental health and the future of the sport.
Speaking after Sri Lanka’s exit from the T20 World Cup, Shanaka said that while the team accepts responsibility for the defeat, the wave of criticism from outside has created a harmful environment.
“Actually, when considering this World Cup, Paddy Upton worked with us and we had huge support from him. As players, it’s very hard for us to control the outside noise,” Shanaka said.
He noted that despite efforts to remain positive within the dressing room, players are constantly exposed to criticism circulating publicly and on social media.
“We mainly hear negative stuff. No matter how positive we are as players, there is a negative environment created from the outside. That’s a disadvantage for cricket in Sri Lanka,” he said.
In a pointed remark, Shanaka questioned the culture of public criticism directed at the team.
“We only have this game and I don’t think this could be saved. When you go outside after this, you will also see how many are out there holding mics to criticise. So why is the negativity being spread like this?” he asked.
The Sri Lanka skipper said that although the team understands the reasons behind the World Cup defeat and shares public concerns, constant negativity does not help resolve structural issues.
“Okay, we lost a World Cup; we know the reasons. We all have concerns. But negativity has come forward more than rectifying the issues,” he said.
Shanaka appealed for authorities to step in to protect younger players from the psychological toll of public hostility.
“At least for the players coming up next, if the government could interfere and stop those, I believe that will be a great help for better mental health,” he added.
