[jattafridi]

Sri Lanka 165/3 after 37

 

[saajidrox]

Umpires having a time

 

[saajidrox]

According to some Indians short balls are unsportsman like!lol

That's because they were getting out to the short ball lol
But seems now they can play the short ball a bit

 

[Munna]

get sanga out asap .. and bring the sloggers in maraweera

 

[saajidrox]

Yes credit due to NZ fielding

 

[NZcricketfan]

That's because they were getting out to the short ball lol
But seems now they can play the short ball a bit

apparently tradtional New Zealand greentops are unsportsmanlike as well.

Sadly, we produce flat run fests now

 

[sazz]

Sanga playing for his century.

 

[saajidrox]

get sanga out asap .. and bring the sloggers in maraweera

Lol samaraweera slogging. I can imagine him. Hitting a six
But you never know small ground lol

 

[saajidrox]

 

[saajidrox]

 

[Munna]

oh damn wat a shot

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Sanga on charge.

 

[NZcricketfan]

I jinxed him.

 

[jattafridi]

 

[saajidrox]

Small ground helping us
Saudi ball yorkers

 

[Munna]

and again !!!!

 

[saajidrox]

Again

 

[Munna]

I jinxed him.

indeeed!!!!

 

[Munna]

Small ground helping us
Saudi ball yorkers

jesse ryder and brendon mccullum are still to bat here .... start praying from now

 

[saajidrox]

Expensive over Saudi

 

[jattafridi]

good over for SL

 

[Munna]

sanga on the loose now ....... gets to 99 in no time all of a sudden

 

[saajidrox]

jesse ryder and brendon mccullum are still to bat here .... start praying from now

Yes I said that before lol

from sanga

 

[Afridi_Fan]

100 for Sanga.

 

[Munna]

why why why .. did i get him out of my fantasy team

 

[jattafridi]

sanga 100*

 

[saajidrox]

Well played a captains knocks

 

[jattafridi]

come on SL make 300

 

[saajidrox]

Oh man 275 on the cards now

 

[IAJ]

I hope the pakistani fans are praying for a Sri Lanka win here. SL will move to 9 points if they win and if Pakistan beat Australia tomorrow we will have 10 points and top the group.

If NZ win here and get to 10 points, Pakistan will come second even if they beat Aussies as NZ have an amazing RR.

 

[saajidrox]

Highest successful run chase 229

 

[Munna]

sangakarra was on 65 from 101 balls ... and now 101 off 119!
that tells something abt the kind of bowling we are seeing in this PP

 

[IAJ]

SL should make 280 form here now!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

37 runs in Batting PP.

 

[Munna]

this is elite batting!
absolutely exquisite placement!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[NZcricketfan]

Highest successful run chase 229

The ground isn't the same as it used to be. Even Canada scored over 250.

 

[saajidrox]

Good fielding

 

[Afridi_Fan]

This is unbelievable fielding.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

32 balls for last 50.

Maybe 300 is on still?

 

[saajidrox]

The ground isn't the same as it used to be. Even Canada scored over 250.

Yaa i know Even the ground has been made small but 275 would be a good score

 

[saajidrox]

I think we can defend 275 with murali , Malinga and mendis . Unlike kamran akmal indont think sanga would drop Ross taylor

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Again great fielding.

 

[Munna]

32 balls for last 50.

Maybe 300 is on still?

looking at the batting line up to follow .. even getting bowled is also on i believe!

but then u need good bowling to do that ... not darting (if thats even a term)

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Useless throw that.

 

[saajidrox]

Good ball over throws :s

 

[Afridi_Fan]

45/1 in Batting PP.

 

[Munna]

5 runss off the over ..... this is excellent test stuff now from kiwis

 

[saajidrox]

Phew good over from Saudi only 5 from it

 

[saajidrox]

Murali is loosing his charm NZ will have to go after mural

 

[Munna]

only 10 min remaining for the official alloted time for this innings to end

 

[NZcricketfan]

Haven't seen such a bad over rate from us in ages. (The protest we did in India doesn't count.)

 

[saajidrox]

sanga

 

[Munna]

i wonder how is he going to keep wickets now with that kind of fatigue!

 

[saajidrox]

Ross Taylor will be fined for a slow over rate

 

[Munna]

not that im at all superstitious but i've noticed a few times in this wc .. wickets falling on nelson scores

 

[jattafridi]

well played sanga

 

[Munna]

thilan pollard samaraweera is in!

 

[NZcricketfan]

Was a good innings. I don't mind having something of that class scored against us.

 

[saajidrox]

thilan pollard samaraweera is in!

Ohh god

 

[Munna]

i seriously believe ... srilanka shud find another proper opener... and push dilshan down to come at 5!

samaraweera won't be useful too many times esp in these kind of situations

 

[saajidrox]

Everyone seems to have fallen asleep after thilann came in

 

[Munna]

they have been annoying nathan mccullum all day

 

[saajidrox]

Thilan has scored 5 from 7 whatta player that's his fastest start lol

 

[saajidrox]

Got to feel for Nathan it was such a good catch. Shame it was not given credit . It's always batsmen get the benefit

 

[Munna]

Thilan has scored 5 from 7 whatta player that's his fastest start lol

and fastest end too

 

[NZcricketfan]

A pollard type innings from Thilan. Punish the minnows and fail against the big teams.

 

[saajidrox]

Some Cricket rules should be changed its too harsh on bowlers these days
A new rule. If the batsmen can't get bat on ball bowler gets a free Beamer an batsment can't move in the crease lol

 

[cricketnut]
