almost a six there!!


this is good counter attack from the lankans..
 
Dilshan hitting fours, right and left. The English
team looks confused and horrified: "How can he
do that ?, we couldn't do anything with the bat
on this field. That's not right, is it ?".

Yes, it is. ;)

strauss is running out of options there ... n its just the end of first PP
 
Sri Lanka look well on their way here...but can't count England out. Not yet.
 
Dilshan n Tharanga wants to finish off the game before 40 overs it seems. England is staring at Flight to UK now (unless some miraculous choke job happens to Sri Lanka - which is very unlikely)
 
Looks like it is going to be repeat of 2007 WC semi final: SL vs NZ
 
Remember when an uncle-type would come and take
over the bat and force you to bowl to them and they
would hit you all over the place and make you get the
ball from the house next door and at the end when
the sun would be going down and mosquitoes would
be biting your limbs and they would STILL be batting...
and you were feeling tired, angry and numb ?.

That's what England is going through. Right now.

This is getting boring. far too one sided.

So much for the no.1 spinner in the world Swann. He seems to be getting turn, beating the bat, but he can't seem to get a wicket this match he just goes for runs.

England aren't limiting the run rate or taking wickets. This is a piece of cake for Sri Lanka.
 
where is everyone:afridi, common guys just because pak isnt playing don't mean u don't have to watch the match, enjoy some good neutral cricket.
 
It looks like the teams from the west have found
themselves short of tricks against the mystical east.

I actually like this, no tension on who wins when pak plays i feel like having a heart attack when in tense situations :yk

well yeah but that's when you're watching Pakistan. You want them to win without any hear attack or trouble.

Other teams, you kind of want to see a more thrilling match as you don't care which one wins so much.
 
Swann can turn the ball. But you need a whole
lot of experience and intellect behind the hand,
to know how to bowl, what, to whom and when.

Swann is being picked-up like a piece of Peach
Melba pie by these SL's.


Sheikh 'SL Spanking Bothams Team' Chilli
 
Am I the only one who roots for Sri Lanka as a Pakistani? If any team other than Pakistan has to win it, I want it to be SL. I am rooting for them badly, as I want them to get to the Finals. If we lose to India (perish the thought) I would like SL to win it all. They have been for the most part a classy team and have a lot of good players. Nice way to send off Murali too.

So for me it's Pakistan obviously, but Sri Lanka winning at the expense of India would be pretty sweet too.
 
Nasser Hussain just said as much, about spinners
who are one-trick-ponies (English), who get hit all
over.

If Pakistan don't win it, I'd like a subcontinent team, either Sri Lanka or India (though will probably veer more to sri Lanka) to win.

Looks like New Zealand is going to be the only non-subcontinent team left. And out of all of the non subcontinent teams, they were the ones you thought would have been knocked out early.
 
England is missing Peterson, Broad and Collins. Their
bowling is incredibly ordinary right now, or maybe SL
batting is making it out to be so.


Sheikh 'One Hand Tied' Chilli
 
I feel England can still win, they need to believe in
themselves. Right now they think they've lost and
just dihari laganey aai hoey hain.

If not Pakistan, then I want Sri Lanka to win.
 
jimmy anderson would have been better in these conditions then tremlett
 
There are three teams which have choked in this WC.

01. Australia
02. South Africa
03. & now... England

All the sub-continental teams have performed above
and beyond their ability on paper.

Why is that ?.


Sheikh 'Why Ask Why' Chilli
 
Sri Lanka look like they'll chase down the whole 230 target without even loosing a wicket. England's bowlers here aren't looking threatening at all.
 
Nasser will now become a full time Pakistan supporter(commentator) :))
