Sri Lanka v India | T20 | Colombo | 10/2/09

[Muhammad]

SL V India at Colombo - 20/20

SL 11 for 0 after 2 overs, mostly leg byes.

Dilshan should've been out in the first over but I Pathan made a pathetic attempt to not catch him and succeeded.

 

[IronMan2009]

Simplest catch possible i wonder how he managed to drop that.

 

[12thMan]

Jayasuriya hits 18 in 3rd over
SL 40-0 after 4.1

 

[IronMan2009]

Jayasuriya is in spectacular hitting form.

 

[Sultanofswing]

Jaysurya gone, pathetic fielding performance from India. seems like they have no plan on the field today. should i say over confident?

 

[cricwiz]

Dilshan riding on his luck after the first over drop... First Silva punished YK Pathan and now Dilshan punishing I Sharma...

SriLanka are 152/3 with 3 overs to go...

And as I am writing this... Dilshan goes in trying to hit one too many... so SL now 152/4 .

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

After 18 overs, SL are 160/4.

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Fantastic last over by Ishant.

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

SL finishes at 171/4 after 20 overs.

 

[undisputed]

will be exciting to see how the indian big hitters chase this good score down.

 

[12thMan]

Malinga making a comback bowling 138-141 kph (86-88 mph)
Sehwag runout on 1
Ind 14-1 after 1 over

after 5 minutes replay shown and brilliant fielding by someone at point

 

[12thMan]

Ghambir 13 out ct at mid on
Ind 14-2 after 1.1 overs

 

[minhasuz]

India 27/2 (3.0/20 ov)

 

[minhasuz]

Yuvi seems to be on fire. If SL needs to win he should be down

 

[minhasuz]

SL giving too many wides so far

 

[minhasuz]

SL really need Yuvi in order to win the match

 

[minhasuz]

Out!!!!!!

 

[minhasuz]

Yuvi is gone
Mubarak to Yuvraj Singh, OUT
Yuvraj Singh c Dilshan b Mubarak 32 (21b 3x4 2x6) SR: 152.38

 

[cricwiz]

Raina out... but India can have a comfortable ride from here bcoz req run rate is just above 7 now

 

[cricwiz]

100/4 after 10.2

 

[cricwiz]

Spinners starting to peg back India.... 108/4 after 13

 

[cricwiz]

MS Dhoni b Bandara 13 (17b 1x4 0x6) SR: 76.4

Big wicket for Lankans ...

110/5 after 13.5

 

[IronMan2009]

It will be a miracle for India to win from here.

 

[IronMan2009]

All big guns gone.

 

[cricwiz]

Rohit Sharma also gone .. so curtains for India... 110/6

YK is still the big threat remaining...

 

[IronMan2009]

SL is heading towards Great win considering the odds against the line up.

 

[IronMan2009]

Raina's wicket was key. He was in absolute control. This happens when you pack your side with batting all rounders. Leaving the job to others.

 

[IronMan2009]

Rajasthan royals pair is playing

 

[IronMan2009]

Bandara is in rare form lol another one down

 

[cricwiz]

now jadeja gone

India are 7 down for 115

 

[12thMan]

Ind 120-7 - need 52 from 27 balls @ 11.6 an over

 

[cricwiz]

I wont count Indians out until "Y Pathan" is out...

He is dangerous...

 

[salman24]

Y Pathan going crazy!!!!

 

[12thMan]

Y Pathan with 2 bix sixes
132-7 after 16 overs - need 40 to win from 24 balls

 

[cricwiz]

and he has started to show sings of it...

15.6 Bandara to YK Pathan, SIX
15.5 Bandara to YK Pathan, no run, tries to slog that over midwicket but is unable to time it well this time
15.4 Bandara to YK Pathan, SIX, another one! Yusuf is fighting to the finish here! Flighted on leg stump, he comes down the track and lofts it cleanly over long-on
15.3 Bandara to YK Pathan, FOUR, in the slot and Yusuf cashes in, full outside off, he frees his arms and smashes that over extra cover for a flat six

source for commentry is cricinfo...

 

[junoon]

Fernando has just bowled 5 wides

 

[junoon]

India require another 28 runs with 3 wickets and 18 balls remaining

 

[cricwiz]

Malinga vs Y Pathan

Thats surely gonna be an interesting battle

 

[cricwiz]

or should i rephrase

Malinga vs Pathan bros..

In the morning Hussey bros did the tirck for Aus...

Can Pathan bros do the same for India?

 

[Isolation]

Fernando is wank lol...such a lazy bowler like he cant be botherd.

pathan brothers taking india home

 

[Amjid Javed]

Looks like Pathan brothers have won this game for the indians.

Current partnership 52 runs, 3.5 overs, RR: 13.56 (IK Pathan 27, YK Pathan 20)

 

[asifp]

Fernando wow, what a bad over that was. Short balls, then short and outside off stump, wow terrible

 

[12thMan]

need 5 to win from 6 balls with 3 wickets in hand

 

[asifp]

Jayasuriy had 3 overs for 10 runs and he was not given the over.

poort captaicny

 

[asifp]

field is still spread, this guy is a tonker of a captain

 

[MIB]

It will be a miracle for India to win from here.

Miraculous

 

[IronMan2009]

59 runs in 4.1 overs Massacre.

 

[cricwiz]

Its the BROTHERS DAY for sure

Husseys stole the show for Australia in the morning

Now Pathans win it for India in the eve...

 

[IronMan2009]

yea.. unique day.

 

[Isolation]

the pathans show our pathan how its done

 

[Muhammad]

Pathan Power wins the day.

Just shows why Afridi should always be in the Pak side.

 

[MIB]

Pathan Power wins the day.

Just shows why Afridi should always be in the Pak side.

even fake pathans know how to win matches!

 

[IronMan2009]

Irfan made up for his dropped catch.

 

[IronMan2009]

Credit goes to Yusuf. Spinners were doing well. After seeing him take Bandara apart he brought his pacers back. That was the turning point. This is still a spinners pitch.

 

[Big Daddy]

credit to the team india. it was an accomplished performance. credit also goes to the team combination. no nudgers in the team. pakistan needs to take note.

 

[Muhammad]

Irfan made up for his dropped catch.

Yes I guess he redeemed himself after that king of howlers.

 

[IronMan2009]

I didn't watch it live. Has Malinga recovered well?

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

I didn't watch it live. Has Malinga recovered well?

You really missed it then. It was a sensational match. Specially the Indian innings, it was simply magnificent.

 

[Indiafan]

Pathan Power wins the day.

Just shows why Afridi should always be in the Pak side.

Its an insult to the Pathan brothers if you even compare Afridi's batting with them in current form. If you want compare Gul's and Tanvir's batting with the Pathans. Afridi has absolutely failed to deliver with the bat in any 20/20 game ever.

 

[Indiafan]

even fake pathans know how to win matches!

But the real Pathan never does )

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Its an insult to the Pathan brothers if you even compare Afridi's batting with them in current form. If you want compare Gul's and Tanvir's batting with the Pathans. Afridi has absolutely failed to deliver with the bat in any 20/20 game ever.

He was just kidding. He is known for such light hearted jokes.

 

[IronMan2009]

I try hard to hate T20 . But some thrillers like this make me say "Not bad"

 

[Kaustubbh]

Now you see who are the real PATHAN'S & who is the FAKE PATHAN - SHAHID AFRIDI

 

[Indiafan]

He was just kidding. He is known for such light hearted jokes.

Ever since he became a MOD I get confused. Yeah, you are right, its Muhammad of course

 

[cricketkashmir]

Pathan Brothers rock Sri Lanka

Pathan brothers sinked Sri Lankas hopes of winning the T20 match against India. requiring more than 10 runs per over in the final 5 overs Yousuf and Irfan proved too hot for the Lankan lions to handle.

 

[Gabbar Singh]

Y Pathan = poor man's Afridi

 

[EvergreenCricketer]

Y Pathan = poor man's Afridi

Some years back I read I Pathan was poor man's Wasim Akram.
Now this!

 

[12thMan]

mubarak ho

 

[Inswinger]

Okay..............

 

[ChennaiKings]

Yeah it was a great performance

 

[OZGOD]

Hmm.

 

[McBoom]

Hmm.

 

[minhasuz]

Good For Them. Also good for Hussey's Brother's who did the same thing

 

[On_the_up]

Afridi brothers anyone?

 

[IronMan2009]

Family must be proud considering how poverty stricken their family was when they were young. It is truly an achievement considering their very poor background.

 

[DHONI183]

Well done to both of them!!!! Congrats on this thrilling victory!

 

[12thMan]

naswar all around

 

[Amjid Javed]

Both players seem suited to this sort of cricket and ODI cricket. They can both bowl abit and also use the long handle when needed.

 

[DHONI183]

naswar all around

You beat me with that))))!!!!!!

 

[Inswinger]

You beat me with that))))!!!!!!

Naqli pathans don't use naswar.
