[Afridi_Fan]

) )

This is priceless.

 

[cricketpassion]

[Markhor]

[KingKhanWC]

Jaya is out there as a runner should calm things down.

 

[Maula Jutt]

Fixed! Fixed! )

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Sledging going on.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Lots of chirping from Kiwis now (Donald effect?) towards the SL batsmen

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Left alone.

 

[Desi]

LOL I went away after that second boundary to go fill a patient's medications and I come back and a wicket has fallen. Maybe I shuold stay gone for the next 10 minutes?

 

[KingKhanWC]

Kiwi's big mouths out again.

Angelo solid as a house

 

[Afridi_Fan]

33 needed in 42.

 

[talha3]

A choke here would impress and top even south africa.

 

[Maula Jutt]

I'm still backing SL to win this one.

 

[Desi]

I must say, despite how ordinary the kiwi team is their mouths are pretty big

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Why the **** is Ryder bowling?

 

[Noman]

why is tyder bowling

 

[talha3]

Stupid decision to go for ryder.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Shot son!

Smashed the broken arm over mid wicket

 

[cricketpassion]

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Need to hit Ryder for 10 runs this over

 

[Desi]

honestly ryder still? the heck are they thinking, he's not looking dangerous at all and there are better options available...

 

[Noman]

Vetteroi worst captain ever.. the pressure was on??

 

[AZ]

why have they given Ryder another over?!

 

[Desi]

honestly ryder still? the heck are they thinking, he's not looking dangerous at all and there are better options available...

i said that before i saw the boundary btw x_X

 

[Afridi_Fan]

1 more.

 

[Markhor]

And now Vettori to lose the captaincy after the inevitable post-World Cup cull.

 

[cricketpassion]

WTH why Ryder ?

 

[BaaliSoda]

28 needed of 36 balls

 

[Afridi_Fan]

28 needed in 36.

 

[talha3]

I don't get it, they have plenty of overs in the tank from the top bowlers.

 

[kak196]

SL need 28 runs in 36 balls. SL should still be able to get it comfortably.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

3 more.

 

[Markhor]

Just stick with Oram,McKay and Southee.

 

[Desi]

ryder over styris is baffling. styris is there as a defensive run blocker who will do nothing but build up presure. can't slog those fast off spinners very easily but ryders medium pace garbage is candy corn for the taking

 

[KingKhanWC]

Walks down and clips it superbly.

Misfield too, over throw. )

 

[Afridi_Fan]

In fact an over throw.

 

[Markhor]

Sloppy !

 

[KingKhanWC]

4 hits will do it.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Not a wide?

 

[KingKhanWC]

Come Mr Dar that was wide!

 

[KingKhanWC]

1 more off the total.

 

[insaftak]

dar has gone blind. both of those deliveries were wides.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

22 needed in Batting PP.

 

[Desi]

power play might be a blessing for NZ or end their misery sooner

 

[KingKhanWC]

This is a dumb rule. Why should the batting team have to take the batting Pp?

NZ Akram back on - Nasser

 

[Desi]

if NZ do make it through out of sheer luck they have to be the most mediocre team to ever make it to the final of a WC

 

[iRfaN_LA]

one FOUR and the game is firmly in SL's hands.

 

[talha3]

a wicket here would make things very interesting

 

[Afridi_Fan]

1 more.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

if NZ do make it through out of sheer luck they have to be the most mediocre team to ever make it to the final of a WC

and SL will take the "chokers" title from SA. I think SL will make it easy though.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

 

[KingKhanWC]

5 runs.

 

[talha3]

and that's the game. SL in the final

 

[Blitz]

Game over

5

 

[Markhor]

5 wides

Its all over

 

[kak196]

Wow 5 Wides!

 

[iRfaN_LA]

5 wides, game over.

 

[Desi]

gross

ryder's couple overs plus the lousy fielding and extras took away what could have been very interesting match

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Not Out. Review.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Big decision by Mr Dar, looked like an edge but who knows.

 

[Blitz]

I heard nothing.

Is Dar going to be overturned for the first time ever?!!?

 

[talha3]

review. batsman look confident, bowlers look confident, hmm

 

[Markhor]

Big appeal for caught behind

Not out by the umpire

Review

 

[AZ]

lol.

Kiwis reviewing against Dar?

fail.

 

[Markhor]

Please keep Aleem Dar's record intact !

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Has to be not out.

 

[talha3]

can't be sure. can't be overturned.

 

[KingKhanWC]

You can't give that. Not Out.

 

[Strike!]

Doubting aleem dar.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

And the record stands 100%

 

[AZ]

C'maaaaaaaan!!!!

 

[Desi]

where's ashoka when you need him?

 

[Markhor]

Not out !

Aleem Dar is the Don Bradman of Umpiring !

 

[cricketpassion]

not out
