Sri Lanka vs India | Asia Cup | Karachi | 03/07/2008 |

[FAM]

Req. R/R: 6.13

 

[sehban]

162-2
147 of 144
seems pretty easy unless some murli magic

 

[cars112]

Hmm, i have to take it back. Of those 5 matches, he played only 4 innings, and went not out on 3 times So he was only out once, so he has 179 runs in those 5 matches, and this also becomes his average.

So take my praises back

Well I'm most willing to take my praise back as well, lollol!

 

[f.b.m]

Sher - it was an honest observation - the guy couldn't play Murali in the past and now he's doing it easily because of IPL

Yeah right. His 183* was just because of the IPL right?

 

[cars112]

162-2
147 of 144

Hopefully Murali rips them apart

 

[cars112]

Yeah right. His 183* was just because of the IPL right?

Raina made 183* in international cricket?

 

[sehban]

singles are cming to easy they should look to ball more dot deliveries

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Sher - it was an honest observation - the guy couldn't play Murali in the past and now he's doing it easily because of IPL

so by that logic the English players should easily pick almost every top class bowler in the world(since a lot of them have played county)

 

[Indiafan]

Yeah right. His 183* was just because of the IPL right?

He is talking about Raina I think

 

[6hitter]

direct hit chance

 

[lavauk]

its NOT muralis day you can't have meat everyday sometime you have fish instead

 

[cars112]

so by that logic the English players should easily pick almost every top class bowler in the world(since a lot of them have played county)

Fair enough PP I suppose - but don't you think it is an advantage for the Indian players to play with all the world's best players in IPL, see them in the nets, etc?

 

[Indiafan]

Well I'm most willing to take my praise back as well, lollol!

well in 21 innings his average is still 74 and not out means the bowlers couldnt get him out even ater he made 50s!

 

[lollol]

I dont think Murali will post a threath to Dhoni.

They have faced each other in 14 matches, of which Murali was able to dismiss him only once...

 

[sehban]

the thing is if ind loses couple of wickets quickly they have a long tail today since they played an extra bowler...
so there is still a chance for srilankans and us

 

[lavauk]

shabbash ind keep going,hits 6+4 raina you're a star buddy

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Fair enough PP I suppose - but don't you think it is an advantage for the Indian players to play with all the world's best players in IPL, see them in the nets, etc?

It is but its not unfair.

 

[6hitter]

cmon sri lanka

 

[Indiafan]

Fair enough PP I suppose - but don't you think it is an advantage for the Indian players to play with all the world's best players in IPL, see them in the nets, etc?

So is there anything we can do about it?

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Really need 2 quick wickets to have any chance

 

[Wiji]

This match is going to go down to the wire.

 

[Pak_mystery]

On this dead surface whos gonna trouble these solid indians. Sl might be missing malingas pace here

 

[McBoom]

We are doomed !

 

[sehban]

he takes murli instead of that tundler...seriously yaar

 

[Pak_mystery]

India have this match and togeather with that the cup is theirs too. I can sens it

 

[Pak_mystery]

Better luck next time!we are out

 

[Yaqub]

Thsi Dhoni guy is scary. If he plays defensive at first, thats it. Once he starts seeign the ball like a footballl, match will be stolen away from SL

 

[Pak_mystery]

Sl are probably 40 runs short here..

 

[12thMan]

Ind 180-2 after 29.4 over @ 6.06 - need 129 runs from 20.2 overs @ 6.34

 

[Pak_mystery]

Jaya got a habit of picking up wickets cheaply lets hope he can get a few tonight

 

[lollol]

1 1 2 1 . 1 | 1 1 1 . . . | 1 1 . 2 2 1 | 1 1lb 1 . 1

 

[BD-fan]

The game is still on. Any stupidity by the batsmen and they will be in deep trouble. The batting lineup is not that deep today without yusuf pathan.

 

[Pak_mystery]

Now that we are almost out,we can rest couple a players tommorrow to give other guys a chance

 

[Zaad]

looks like we are gona have to stay home on sunday and watch india vs srilanka final

since these lankans wants to play india so badly in final they are making this game a cake for srilanka.

 

[lollol]

Poor fielding by Lanka...

 

[Pak_mystery]

Sl dont seem intrseted at all,

 

[lollol]

Well, it seems we will have empty stands in the final now

 

[Mohsin]

4444444444
SL have given up

 

[Yaqub]

Yousuf Pathan is a Indian LOTA same as our Afridi LOTA.

 

[Sparhawk]

Time for some murali magic!

 

[Yaqub]

Good bye Asia Cup

31.5 Weeraratne to Dhoni, FOUR!!, catch dropped!! good length delivery on the off, Dhoni comes on the frontfoot and goes for the expansive drive, under edge runs it down to third man, between the keeper's legs, 200 up!!!

 

[Mohsin]

Rameez telling it how it is here!

 

[Indiafan]

Sl has repeatedly said they prefer to face Pak rather than india but dream on

 

[Pak_mystery]

Ok thats it,.. India are taking the cup home!

 

[lollol]

Good bye Asia Cup

Even akmal caught one like this.. from afridi if i remember correctly

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Kumar not only dropped the catch but also allowed the ball to go for 4
SL don't seem to be interested in the game any more.

 

[Mohsin]

Sl has repeatedly said they prefer to face Pak rather than india but dream on

No they never.
Hell their coach even said that India will be in the final before the match!

 

[Mohsin]

Waqar: in the air! Should be taken.................YES its gone for 4!

 

[iZeeshan]

Its over, pretty much.

We had a good run I guess.

 

[Yaqub]

No they never.
Hell their coach even said that India will be in the final before the match!

Thats a good attitude.Don't you think? Keeps players positive in their approach. What the heckdoes Lawson do? Ask Jounos to speak better english

 

[Dhonifan]

Waqar...'that's in the AaaaaaIR....should be TAKENNNN....it's gone all the WAYYY'

where's arun lal?? it's hard enough to see India struggling, Pak comms are making my nerves shot with their jumpiness.

 

[Mohsin]

4444444444444444444

 

[Yaqub]

32.6 Jayasuriya to Dhoni, SIX!!, tossed up on the off, Dhoni comes on the frontfoot, gets under it and heaves it over long off, that is a superb strike!!!

 

[iZeeshan]

Its arite guys. We played well last game, but honestly, we don't deserve to make the final.

 

[lollol]

lol

 

[Yaqub]

4444444444444444444

sweeps it to fine leg, that was more of a reverse straight drive

 

[lollol]

Waqar...'that's in the AaaaaaIR....should be TAKENNNN....it's gone all the WAYYY'

where's arun lal?? it's hard enough to see India struggling, Pak comms are making my nerves shot with their jumpiness.

Yes, they predicted India will win and they will prefer Pak in the finals

 

[Yaqub]

Sack Lawson..sack Afridi and Sack Salim Malik from Captaincy
Start Freshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[Pak_mystery]

How does dhoni manage to score everytime! Eff ! Unbelievable

 

[Dhonifan]

There is no way we can expect Dhoni to hit atleast 50 runs today... he must be completely exhausted by now. But if he does... then he should rename himself "He-man"

For today I am HE-MAN FAN

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Sack Lawson..sack Afridi and Sack Salim Malik from Captaincy
Start Freshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[Yaqub]

34.3 Thushara to Dhoni, FOUR!!, good length delivery outside the off stump, Dhoni gets behind it hammers it through deep extra cover, that is his 22nd ODI FIFTY!!

[NeVerMind]

Sack Lawson..sack Afridi and Sack Salim Malik from Captaincy

[Indiafan]
