[Momo]

Boundary. Interesting.

 

[RexRex]

Jaya stands between India and victory

 

[Momo]

Moderator using an illegal stream ?

Who said it was illegal?

 

[Momo]

could be worser....could be you

No disputing that, sir.

 

[Momo]

42 in 48.

I'd say 60:40 India.

 

[Momo]

Where's Sehwag?

 

[Momo]

Boundary again. 59:41 IND. Why isn't Sehwag bowling?

 

[Momo]

The overrated FTB gets a 50.

 

[Momo]

One more cat. Even a kitten will do.

 

[Momo]

Sreesanth back.

 

[RexRex]

No idea .. shoulder perhaps ?

 

[Momo]

Randiv very sluggish.

 

[Momo]

Dropped!

 

[Momo]

Since it was dropped by Bhaji, Sreesanth didn't show too much anger. It seems he still remembers.

 

[Cover Drive]

hahah Momo I was thinking that he will get back to him loll

 

[Pakistani tigers]

Bhajji drops the match for India!

 

[Momo]

hahah Momo I was thinking that he will get back to him loll

Once bitten twice shy.

 

[Cover Drive]

Once bitten twice shy.

[SpiritOf1903]

powerplay. surely SL won't need heimlich here

 

[Momo]

I'd say it's 50:50 for the first time today.

 

[Cover Drive]

SL trying to copy Pakistan over here by being forced to take powerplay

 

[Cover Drive]

Worlds best left armer comes onto bowl

 

[Momo]

This Randiv is a sensible guy. Should bat ahead of Samaraveera and Jayawardene.

 

[Momo]

SL trying to copy Pakistan over here by being forced to take powerplay

Pakistan have always been the trendsetters.

 

[Cover Drive]

This Randiv is a sensible guy. Should bat ahead of Samaraveera and Jayawardene.

His batting stats aren't that great

I checked his profile at cricinfo and it says

Also known as Suraj Mohamed

I wonder is he another convert like Dilshan (from Islam to some other Religion)

 

[Momo]

50:50

One wicket might make the next fifteen minutes more enjoyable.

 

[Cover Drive]

But that Perera guy is a good hitter of the ball

Dilshan is an ex muslim? Didn't know that.

 

[Momo]

But that Perera guy is a good hitter of the ball

Yes he is a good striker of the ball.

Another goes. 55:45 India

 

[Cover Drive]

Dilshan is an ex muslim? Didn't know that.

Yes he is an Ex-Muslim.

Here is his profile

[Cover Drive]

Here comes Perera. Two good shots by him will seal the match for SL

 

[Momo]

Beautiful, Jadeja!

 

[Cover Drive]

Beautiful, Jadeja!

Perera gone?

 

[Momo]

Yes he is an Ex-Muslim.

I C. Never knew this.

Knew that SL was one of the most active target for Christian missionaries though.

 

[Momo]

Perera gone?

No no. I was talking about Randiv's runout.

 

[Momo]

Appeal for caught behind down leg. Wide given.

 

[Cover Drive]

Maharoof is Muslim in there team. I remember when he took a fifer he went into Sajda. Which I found quite unteresting from a SL team member

 

[Momo]

Perera is throwing the kitchen sink at everything. As if SL needed 12 rpo.

 

[Cover Drive]

India love to appeal for everything

 

[Cover Drive]

Perera is throwing the kitchen sink at everything. As if SL needed 12 rpo.

One successful shot from him might seal the match for SL imo

in 2 minutes I am out

 

[Momo]

Perera is showing Afridi like tendencies.
Only operates in the fifth gear.
Impressive.

[Cover Drive]

[Cover Drive]

[Cover Drive]

[Cover Drive]

[Momo]

Scores tied. INDIA choked majestically.

 

[Cover Drive]

Momo whats your odd now? loll

Take care mate

 

[Gollum]

4. 60:40 Sl.

 

[Cover Drive]

What a way to end the final and win the series

Again India fails to perform well on off shore series

 

[Uncle Sam]

another four ... thats three in row ... Sreesanth shown his worth by Mahela

 

[saj001]

India cant win finals

 

[Momo]

Momo whats your odd now? loll

Take care mate

The odds are as follows:

INDIA choked.

Take care buddy.

 

[Sledger]

Another failure in the finals by India. Could have been closer but Sreesanth felt he better keep India's fast bowling reputation in order.

 

[Momo]

Kind of unfair because India thrashed SL all along. But they played the South Africa way by losing their way at the very end.

 

[RexRex]

We're still no.2

 

[JeeraBlade]

Kind of unfair because India thrashed SL all along. But they played the South Africa way by losing their way at the very end.

Last two years, India leads 15-9 in 26 ODIs they have played against each other.

[Wajahat_Ali]

we have beaten SL comprehensively recently in tests and One-dayers...this loss in Final won't bother us much

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

So we start the year on a losing note. Disappointing.

 

[Amir]

But SL won the last two finals, this and Asia Cup 2008!

 

[Momo]

MOM = Kulusekara

I meant this tournament.

 

[Momo]

Kulusekara's English is Yousufesque. Sehwag's wicket was the most enjoyable.

 

[Momo]

Jeet haar, hoti rehti hai bhai. Koi baat naheen.

 

[Momo]

MOS = Kumar Sanga (crybaby)

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

We won the Final previous to this one though, and ironically it was against Sri Lanka too -

http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/403383.html

Ironically, we lost the two Finals previous to the above one (Kitply Cup, Asia Cup - 2007).

Poor record

 

[dani2k]

Not a bad effort considering we were 5 down for nothing and also were one bowler short. But all credit to Sri Lanka. They were undoubtedly the better team today.

Well played Lanka! Enjoy your success

 

[Momo]

Mahi: "Shot selection was bad. Ashish was a big blow. There was no dew today. 246 could have been enough had Ashish stayed fit. Sreesanth was expensive initially. Not in good form. Raina could have added 20. But played well. Bowlers getting back into form."

 

[Momo]

Crybaby Sangakarra: "blah blah blah blah blah blah ..... x infinity"

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Kulusekara's English is Yousufesque. Sehwag's wicket was the most enjoyable.

Yousufesque ... what a description, LOL.

 

[Momo]

Okay guys, signing off now. I will leave you with this profound thought: Ravi Shastri should seriously consider growing his moustache back. Without it, he is half the man he was. Plus (and this is important) he looks spooky.

one more profound thought:

and Rameez Raja should cut his hair short..currently he is half the man he was

 

[Garuda]

Hmmm... bad luck

No worries. ODIs are enough. we will get our chance again.

But looking at our bowlers form these days, I would say well tried.

Well played Raina. Never thought that we would reach near 250.

Congratulations to Sanga and team.

I've also noticed that he produces a very pronounced ahemm (sort of noise)after most of his sentences.

Awesome commentating job by Momo.
