[saajidrox]

Sidhu making fun of Pakistan
Simon Hughes said Pakistan will beat australia sidhu jumped with his big mouth aus haven't lost any matches in world cup they would be foolish to loose against Pakistan it's impossible
They way he said it was like was like pulling fun

 

[Fireworks11]

Sri Lanka win the toss and bat in Mumbai.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Wow what a take from Brendon.

 

[saajidrox]

The ball is swinging

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Wild swing by Dilshan.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

inside edge, definite swing there for Oram.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Beauty, bounce and movement from Oram.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

One handed slog.

And he gets 2.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

7/0 in 2.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

[Afridi_Fan]

Another wild wild swing by Dilshan.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Unlucky Tharanga. Dilshan drives straight, Saudi gets a touch to it and Tharanga is run out.

13/1.

 

[saajidrox]

tharanga

 

[NZcricketfan]

Unlucky Tharanga. Dilshan drives straight, Saudi gets a touch to it and Tharanga is run out.

13/1.

Why do you call him Saudi?

 

[saajidrox]

Dilshan lol gets his enemy out
Dilshan is closing his eyes and swinging

 

[saajidrox]

Good work by tim Saudi to get a finger

 

[iZaman]

its fun, Calling Southee as saudi, its easier to pronounce

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Beaten. Ball is nipping around a bit.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Why do you call him Saudi?

Because I want to call him that.

 

[saajidrox]

Oram bowling well

 

[saajidrox]

Southee and Saudi sounds the same

 

[NZcricketfan]

Because I want to call him that.

I don't think Southee would care. He loves Pakistan.

 

[saajidrox]

New zealand have to get sangakarra
Dilshan is not soo important he is going to play loose shots

 

[NZcricketfan]

Southee and Saudi sounds the same

really?

Saw-dee and Saw-fee ?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

I think Sanga is gone too,.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Or is he?

 

[saajidrox]

Safe

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Nope, that desperate dive seemed to have saved him.

 

[saajidrox]

really?

Saw-dee and Saw-fee ?

Yaa it's fun

 

[saajidrox]

Keep Dilshan he can make others run out lol

 

[NZcricketfan]

extras on form today

 

[saajidrox]

Saudi should try a bouncer. A well guided one

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Dilshan

)

 

[saajidrox]

Saudi gets him

 

[NZcricketfan]

Sri lanka in trouble against the minnows.

 

[saajidrox]

Guys can anyone bump Dilshan intense dislike thread

 

[saajidrox]

Sri lanka in trouble against the minnows.

New zealand are not minnow lol

 

[NZcricketfan]

New zealand are not minnow lol

I am quoting certain posters on this messageboard.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

 

[Afridi_Fan]

New zealand are not minnow lol

He is trying to act smart. Let him enjoy that.

 

[saajidrox]

Jaywardene usually has the habit of giving catch pratice to slips get him early
Jaya and sanga are lethal when they get in to the groove
Saudi good ball

 

[NZcricketfan]

Now time for Sangakarra and Mahela to bat for the next 35 overs.

 

[SameerP]

Ok New zealand has been giving Sri lanka trouble so far already 2 wickets gone, now I don't feel so bad that Pakistan lost to them so badly. I was just thinking New zealand had become minnows after they were dominated by Australia.

 

[Romali_rotti]

Damn Sangakarra is soo elegant, probably the most elegant left hander ever....

 

[SameerP]

Sri lanka in trouble against the minnows.

 

[Romali_rotti]

) My man MR Mal-nutrition Dilshan out already...

 

[mr einstein]

We're fine being called minnows. Being the underdog has always been our position of strength.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Misfield.

 

[saajidrox]

He is trying to act smart. Let him enjoy that.

Yes I can see kind of jinxing it
Hail Lala land president :bow

 

[Munna]

NZ beat Sri Lanka, and we lose to Australia, we will be 3rd!



P.S, why is this in Mumbai?

i've a feeling the 3rd option wud be the safest for us

 

[saajidrox]

Saeed anwar was better

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

saj bhai hows the weather atm in colombo.

 

[Blitz]

i've a feeling the 3rd option wud be the safest for us

Thats probably England.

I'd rather have West Indies, 4th. Thier batting sucks.

 

[saajidrox]

Kettleborough lol

 

[Romali_rotti]

Saeed anwar was better

Its close, they are both very good in the elegance department however I would say Sanga just pipps Anwar by a tiny wee bit..

 

[SameerP]

Saeed anwar was better

Gilchrist/ Lara were better than Sanga

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

sajidrox plz could you tell me the weather situation in colombo.

 

[saajidrox]

saj bhai hows the weather atm in colombo.

It's so sunny and hot now
The past few days has been. Sunny too haven't rained a drop
But the weather showed yesterday it could rain lol but it has not rained wrong forecast . It's soo sunny if you go out you cant bare the heat you get a headache

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Good fielding.

 

[Wasim_Waqar]

So basically it's better for us if NZ win because if we don't beat Aus, would face SA! Would rather face India now, SA are on a roll and I just feel India are having problems and may be pushed all the way or even lose v WI...lets see!

Will it rain today in COlombo?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

29/2 in 7.

 

[saajidrox]

I m hoping to goto tomorrows match. I hope the weather stays like the past few days or like today

 

[SameerP]

Pakistan can take out Choke Africa if they face them because South africa were favorites to win before but ended up choking in the knock out stage every time

 

[Afridi_Fan]

So basically it's better for us if NZ win because if we don't beat Aus, would face SA! Would rather face India now, SA are on a roll and I just feel India are having problems and may be pushed all the way or even lose v WI...lets see!

Yeah, they are on a roll as they showed against England. And still they have to beat BD, and I can see them choking against them tomorrow.

I wouldn't bother too much. Pakistan could still end up in 4 different positions, and take on 4 different teams.

Too much for the head

 

[Afridi_Fan]

What a shot. hela

 

[NZcricketfan]

This is the difference Kyle Mills makes.

 

[saajidrox]

Will it rain today in COlombo?

I don think just went out of the house to check the sky .not a cloud in the sky

 

[Afridi_Fan]

35/2 in 8.

 

[saajidrox]

Ben 10 is not bowling a good line

 

[saajidrox]

New Zealand have to break the jaya and sanga combination or else that's the end

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Edged deliberately to 3rd man.

 

[Munna]

what if the match gets washed out on saturday.. where will we end then?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

41/2 in 9.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

what if the match gets washed out on saturday.. where will we end then?

Depends on the outcome of this game.

 

[saajidrox]

Separate the men from the boys lol

 

[saajidrox]

If Ross Taylor scores big today many Sri lankans will be cursing kamran akmal for bringing him into form
