Sigh...I don't know how India aspires to become the #1 if they continue to have one bad day a series..Dominant teams like Australia and the Windies used to have an occassional bad day once a season!

Pathetic bowling line up and inconsistency means their aspiration to become the #1 team in the world would remain just that!

Being able to handle pressure is also key, and I think Indian batsmen in general lack the fortitude mentally, when it comes to big finals.

Their bowling lineup has been a concern for a long time. I think the absence of a genuine, world class all-rounder is also something that's hurting them.

After writing that awesome book for sometime on PP his knowledge on beasts increased to such alarming levels that PP Mods had to ban him. But he will remain as a living legend among them, who witnessed his untouchable rise. :afridi
 
147-5 in the 30th, the recovery continues.
Might still have a match on our hands.
 
Have to see its been a wonderful recovery from India.

From 60-5 to 213-7.

7 overs to go.
 
off 109 balls with 9 fours and a six.
7 overs left will be looking to push the score above 250
 
India lose wicket number 8.

Zaheer Khan departs after hitting a 6.

233-8.

5 overs to go
 
raina's out, showing his immaturity there, poor taking of the powerplay by India too, they should have taken it when Harby was there.

237/9 after 45.3
 
Sri Lanka start their reply.

Tharanga gone. Caught in the slips.

SL 0-1
 
29-1 after 5 overs.

Sangakara has hit 4 boundaries in his 21 runs off 13 balls.

Very bad luck for India if they lose. After thrashing the hapless Lankans all through.

It isn't likely though.
 
Pretty poised, this match. Bangladesh crowd appears to be supporting SL.
 
Important phase. Spinners will make or break this. Bhaji, Yuvi, and most dangerous: Sehwag.
 
Interesting match. Might go right down to the wire. All we need is a cat now.
 
So Momo - in your expert opinion, can we expect an Indian demise or will this be one of those fantastic fightbacks?

I think it's too early to say, in spite of all the 'SL is crusing/motoring along' stuff by Gavaskar and the other gentleman (who is he?).

One wicket, and it will become very tight again. I'd say it's 55:45 to India at the moment.

P.S. Why isn't Dhoni bowling Sehwag?
 
Chur for Sanga. Lucky four.

Ball turning, match on (India have a lot of spinners). 100 up. Time for a coup of tea.
 
Luck is conspiring for a SL victory it seams. Edgy strokes.

On a separate note, does anybody agree with me that Dilshan's face is just made for a moustache?
 
Bhaji bowled a good one. Sadly he doesn't have the Ajmal send off.
 
Samaraveera's average is Afridiesque! And strike rate is Rameezesque.

His intent is Faisal Iqbalesque. His nose is Haroon Rasheedesque.
 
Overthrows.

Facing faster bowlers is easy on this track. Dhoni should continue with spin.

Do you think pressure had anything to do with what happened today? They didnt even seem to care. And out best batsman in finals is not playing :(
 
Ravi Shastri believes India find knock out games slightly problematic. A euphemism for choking?

56:44 India
