Sri Lanka v West Indies | World T20 | 2nd Semi Final | Trent Bridge | 19/6/09

[Waseem]

Interestingly there are 3 Pakistanis (Gul, Ajmal, Afridi) and 2 Sri Lankans (Malinga, Mendis) in the top 5 wicket takers list.

One each (Younis, Dilshan) in the MOST RUNS scored as well, Dilshan is miles ahead of the rest though.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

wide by slinger

 

[Lethal]

Wide

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

ahhh ganguly 10 000 times better than boring kumble

 

[Lethal]

Is that Ganguly commentating?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

and i am going to sleep, Ganguly on air.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

good move by the authorities

 

[Lethal]

Windies need to start playing some shots now.

Come on Gayle.

 

[Waseem]

Matthews drops one

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

phew lucky break but we need more than that

 

[Lethal]

and i am going to sleep, Ganguly on air.

Have some strong coffee. You've survived Kumble.

 

[Lethal]

Mendis drops a catch

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

and i am going to sleep, Ganguly on air.

nah he is very spritely not like kumble

 

[Afridi_Fan]

less than 100 required.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

44444444444444444444444 for gayleeeeeeeeeeeee

 

[Noman]

[Lethal]

Poor ball.

4 to Gayle.

64-4 after 11 overs.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

this is match is over i think?

[Lethal]

this is match is over i think?

Not if Gayle has anything to do with it.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

140 max i say for windies

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

goneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee is sarwannnnnnnnnnnnnnn

 

[Lethal]

Murali to continue.

Sarwan gone this time. Chipped down the ground.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

game set and match?

 

[Waseem]

Matthews takes catch and Sarwan OUT!!!

It was never in doubt after the first over but almost confirmed now.

Lanka through to the FINAL.

 

[Lethal]

Sarwan 5 off 12 balls. Very slow.

I'm out of here.

 

[saqeeb90]

wow what a fileding by chamara
will we be able to beat srilanka this sunday?

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

wow what a fileding by chamara
will we be able to beat srilanka this sunday?

anything possible but it will be a heart stopper i hope

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

windies just barely hanging on here

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Pakistan Vs Sri Lanka folks.

 

[Noman]

Well, the match is over, even gayle cant do anything now

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

pollard knew nothing bout that ball

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

Well, the match is over, even gayle cant do anything now

hardly likely gayle is having trouble timing the ball

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

goneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee is pollard

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

well a re match of the super 8 is the final

 

[DonJee]

oh man...WE REALLY NEED THIS WEST INDIES TEAM IN THE FINAL...they are !"£$%^&*( against spin!!!

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

windies lucky to cross 100

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Pollard cant pick Mendis,he cant pick Murali.

My question why the hell is he playing International Cricket then?

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

oh man...WE REALLY NEED THIS WEST INDIES TEAM IN THE FINAL...they are !"£$%^&*( against spin!!!

that has always been the case bar a few players

 

[Waseem]

Funny thing is that the 2 FINALISTS are from the weaker Super 8 group.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

Pollard cant pick Mendis,he cant pick Murali.

My question why the hell is he playing International Cricket then?

well probably thats the only choice we got

 

[Waseem]

Udana should be played like Afridi. He is more of a spinner than a medium pacer.
Such a weired bowler, as if Malinga wasn't enough.

 

[saeed-sohail]

what's the score guys?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

This is over mates.

 

[Oxy]

82-6

Need a miracle from here

 

[Oxy]

Another 4

86-6

 

[Oxy]

Udana looks a bit like Abdul Razzaq - as he gets Ramdin out!

86-7

 

[Waseem]

Another slower one and Ramdin departs after hitting 2 boundaries.
Amazing he bowled another slower one even after he got hit for 2 4's on slower balls.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Just pray folks we win the toss on sunday.

 

[Oxy]

Big 6 from Gayle

 

[Oxy]

94-7

 

[Oxy]

95-8

 

[desidudecool]

murali can go for runs in 20/20 pakis should taget him

 

[pacman]

SL are good. But if anybody can beat them, then its Pakistan. We know how to play Murali and Mendis. We just need to play Melinga well.

Even when we lost against SL in the S8, we got off to a bad start because of Sohail Tanvir bowling the way he did. Even then we restricted them. We look a much more balanced side now. But SL will have to go in as favourites.

 

[saqeeb90]

chris gale can win this.. if they let him play after 10'th wicket )

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Please God let us win the toss on sunday.

 

[Oxy]

Why the hell is Taylor laughing?

 

[desidudecool]

srilanka is not favorite pakistan is according to bookies..srilankas batting is poor apart from one or 2 players

 

[saqeeb90]

Please God let us win the toss on sunday.

yeh west indies were so stupid today to win the toss and they choose to field...

 

[cricketcrazy]

Can Gayle do it?? Why they r not taking singles and giving him the strike?

 

[Oxy]

97-9

 

[desidudecool]

the dis advantage for pakistan is that srianka has played them quite a bit in recent times and know what to expect from afridi and ajmal ..they would nt scare them like they did south africa

 

[Zaad]

all too late for now!

 

[pakistani]

another wicket for mendis is he now the leading wicketaker ???

 

[Afridi_Fan]

lol this is crap from West Indies.

 

[saeed-sohail]

so much for the so called weaker super8 group.

 

[cricketcrazy]

Every west indian is in the same state of mind the one Younus was when he gave over to fawad

 

[MIG]

WI work on their own system....beyond normal logic

 

[Afridi_Fan]

man this guy benn is frightening.

 

[Oxy]

Beauty to finsh it!

 

[pakistani]

bowled him

 

[Khabri420]

Well played Sulleman Benn!

 

[saqeeb90]

chris gale not out

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Hmmm ... WI are a bunch of chokers ...

 

[CrickFan]

Sri Lanka look very dangerous ..and they know Pakistani game inside out

 

[insaftak]

Hmmm ... WI are a bunch of chokers ...

nope only south africans are chokers

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Extras was the 2nd best WI batsmen ... lol

 

[CrickFan]

very poor show West Indies ..i was hoping that they would put up a fight ..it was almost walkover

 

[saeed-sohail]

the dis advantage for pakistan is that srianka has played them quite a bit in recent times and know what to expect from afridi and ajmal ..they would nt scare them like they did south africa

It works both ways we play murali and mendis well

 

[insaftak]

Extras was the 2nd best WI batsmen ... lol

what a horrible performance by windies

 

[Khabri420]

Poor Gayle
