Huge interest for Pakistani fans in this game!

Conditions look good.

But looking at my monitor, Sarwan seems to have been knocked out cold during the warm up and is seeing stars!

Starts in 1 hour [5.30pm UK]
 
Here we go. Both teams get huge support from neutrals (my personal two favorites after Pakistan), but I'm sorry West Indies, a Sri Lanka vs. Pakistan final is too special under the circumstances.
 
Gayle will do good take West Indies to the final and everyone will make threads Afridi vs Gayle who will come out on top in the final and probably in the final someone else other then them 2 takes centre stage :)))
 
I was at the West Indies v England game last week - if Windies play to that intensity, and bowl well at the death, anything is possible.

This has the makingso f a special game - not sure it can top last nights though!

My man to watch: Malinga

Is Edwards in or out ?

Just read from Cricinfo that Edwards is likely to miss the semi final due to back injury. However its best to wait for team news cos he might play or might not.
 
Edwards is the only superfast guy in Windies line up and as such represents a threat to both SL and Pak...
 
West Indies won the toss & elected to FIELD first
 
west indies vs srilanka who is going to win?
westindies are unpredictable like Pakistan.
 
Malinga will be licking his lips after that call to bat 1st from Gayle!
 
No Fidel Edwards.

Windies confident they can chase down the total.

Oval is a flat track so expect a lot of runs. Well good bowling can only prevent lots of runs. Sri Lanka have the bowlers.
 
Windies dont rate their bowlers much or trust them to restrict a side bowling second.
 
is gayle out of his mind or what? But then as he doesnt have a strong bowling line up so chasing makes some sense.

You got me all confused once again, whats the point in laughing in that?
 
Windies is chasing because they didnt like the Mendis comments that " No one cant figure me out ". ;)
 
Is it me or is the Windies anthem made for dancing?
 
Oval is the home of the Windies - should be good support for them
 
Jayasuria is due runs in this tournament, i think he will go crazy in the first 6 overs.
 
Where was Ian Chappell when we were playing ? Would have loved to hear him especially when he confidently forecast that Sl would play Holland in Sper 8s and Ireland for Semis
 
6 runs from 2 overs, very bad start from Sri Lanka so far, I don't see hunger for the win in their eyes
 
Good bowling by WI - SL trying to break shackles

4 to Jaya
 
12/0 in 4 overs

SL digging a hole here or is Windies bowling that good?
 
i think they have wasted the first half of the power play, going at 4 an over..
 
SL batting is quite weak, just 4 good batters: Openers, captain, ex captain. If you take couple of early wickets, they wont even make 140, they already have 2-3 mini collapse in WC so far. Look what happened against Pak when their openers departed ....
 
Whats happened to the crowd? So quiet and this is just the beginning
 
sri lankans are clueless and after these two they will have trouble scoring
 
Losing his cool asking for the right bat Jaya is - odd delay

Does not feel like a semi final at the moment compared to the start yesteday!
 
After all that fuss - almost got caught on next ball
 
Sl batting is very weak .And now Edwards is injured WI bowling should be weak as well.
