New Zealand v Sri Lanka | ICC Champions Trophy | 09/06/13 | Sri Lanka Innings

[DHONI183]

Well right, these are the only two teams that are yet to play a match in the tournament.

I hereby predict Tillakaratne Dilshan to be the Man of the Match.

Please discuss all the action here......

 

[Saj]

I just fancy New Zealand to sneak a victory today.

 

[guvi]

newzealand is going to win this match !

 

[Aman]

We should go fine, If mannequin shows up

 

[Aman]

Dan the man is back!

 

[malakian]

Grant 'Saffer' Elliot not playing?

 

[malakian]

Oh yeah. Sri Lanka to win easily. Far too much class for this average NZ side.

 

[Aman]

I've heard that Daniel Vettori has asked the umpires if he can field with a walking stick. Can you confirm Kiwi?

The ICC let England field 3 Saffas and 1 Irishmen, so a walking stick should be fine

 

[Varun]

Come on New Zealand, cream those Lankans in under 40 overs.

 

[Aman]

Kula dropped?

Yet the Saffers that you import are too rubbish to even get in your side. ) ) )

you guys don't have enough International quality players, so less of them that you have to import Irish )

 

[MarkCooper]

Well so far every ground has been sold out by fans of every team.

Today I see a tiny crowd. Why have the 500,000+ Sri Lankans living in the UK not come out?

surely all of those 500,000 don't live in Cardiff?

 

[MarkCooper]

Double Post

 

[MarkCooper]

Well there are 1,200,000 British-Pakistanis living in the UK and they managed to pack the ground. And they all didn't live in the city the game was in.

There should be more Sri Lankans in the ground!!

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Srilanka will thrash the Kiwis, so many bowlers and expecting too much from Rochi, he'll score a duck a big loss coming up. Srilanka will get a comfortable victory

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

tail starts from Franklin, kiwis are gone and dusted man, srilankan spinners will choke and kill them :AAG

 

[AFM]

Come on Kiwis!!

Surprised Kula got dropped.

 

[Tom1]

outttttt

 

[QY74]

Perera out first ball, could be an upset here.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

good start Kiwis, can't let Srilanka score anything above two hundred

 

[leatherface58]

Macca stunner!!!!

 

[Aman]

, mannequin our gl charm paying off!

 

[Aman]

Dilshan always seems to score against us..

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

NZ might win this 1

 

[Aman]

Dilshan completely beaten

 

[WebGuru]

Well right, these are the only two teams that are yet to play a match in the tournament.

Please discuss all the action here......

Hmm is it because Dilshan is your Fantasy Team Captain?

 

[Sandeep]

Interesting from Cricinfo commentary :-

gav: "Djokovic can't win major tournaments? Do you follow tennis? S.A would have to be Tsonga. IND - Djokovic, ENG - Nadal, AUS - Federer (agreed) NZ - Ferrer, SL - Murray, PAK - Del Potro (won something years ago but no one remembers), WI - maybe Berdych."

 

[Aman]

Bowled em!

Oh´ no!

 

[Aman]

Interesting from Cricinfo commentary :-

England as Nadal... Hell no.. Nadal and Federer are too good to be compared to the current lot of cricket teams...

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Dilshan goes and takes DHONI183's hopes along with him

 

[Aman]

Oh´ no!

Lol...All of them are pathetic comparisons....IND - Djokovic, ENG - Nadal, AUS - Federer

 

[WebGuru]

Interesting from Cricinfo commentary :-

I wish Ferrer can win against Nadal in French Open final which seems impossible so this poor guy Ferrer will always remain in shadows of Nadal he is the most hard working Tennis player i have ever seen gives his 100% without any doubt but unfortunately he is from same country where Nadal was born so he will always go down when his achievements will be compared with Nadal.

[Aman]

Djockvic and India are a good comparison. Both have had a few good years and whine and complain like babies, they also don't show much fight when they're up against it.

 

[WebGuru]

Yes you are right that was shameful comparison

 

[Sandeep]

+1

Saeen already captured a screenshot of your opening post to give as a proof

 

[Aman]

Old man with the walking stick strikes!!! :vettori you beauty

 

[HamzaSaeen]

SL in trouble!

 

[Sandeep]

Then Pakistan would be Li Na

 

[WebGuru]

Lanka collapsed whats wrong these days every team is following Pakistan famous history of batting collapses.

 

[WebGuru]

Then Pakistan would be Li Na

But she is Chinese we got big eyes...

Keep guessing, all of you.

 

[WebGuru]

Martín del Potro can't be compared with Pakistan but you can compare him with Irfan you know...

 

[Aman]

If we get these 2 quickly, I think we should roll the rest.

 

[Aman]

Gone 4!!

 

[Aman]

For every SL wicket

 

[WebGuru]

SL in big trouble here...

 

[GreenKnightRises]

SL is crawling..

 

[cricketpassion]

SL doing what Pakistan did

 

[Aman]

C'mon Southee hamster 5 wants to join the party

 

[Munna]

SL doing what Pakistan did

but where is their ?

 

[cricketpassion]

but where is their ?

Sanga will have to play that role

 

[malakian]

Just checked the score. NZ are clearly benefiting from recently playing against the world's strongest team. It's forced them to go up a level.

 

[Munna]

that was almost curtains for sanga and lanka

 

[Aman]

Nah, I think you did you've finally won a couple of games. Good for you!

World strongest team who asked ICC to remove this 50 over format it's getting bored after the arrival of T20? Just because they were ranked 5th in ODI's at that time and ranked 1st in both T20 & Tests

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Only if Sanga and Mathews stays, SL could hope for something.

 

[Senman]

Somewhere read Dinesh Chandimal rejected IPL offers to work on his weakness. At least expecting 50 from him......... oh wait....


don't read above comments, my cricinfo is updating slowly.

You mean World XI?

 

[Energetic]

lol Not much crowd for this match even on a Sunday. In other matches, you at least had lots of neutrals watching. Glad the French Open final is on today.

 

[Aman]

 

[Senman]

What a ball, KIWI this bowler looks very promising for NZ.

 

[WebGuru]

McClenaghan again on Fire saw him in ODI against Eng he looks good but only problem for him is bowling in death overs...

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Come on Kiwis

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Kiwi Kiwi Kiwi
Oi Oi Oi

I don't know why people were under-estimating NZ. They are the form side atm - beat both Eng and SA away.
