WT20 Final | Sri Lanka vs West Indies | Colombo | 7/10/12

[London_Lahori]

This game is over! At least I know I can now watch the Man United game without worrying what the cricket score is

 

[BlackThunder]

GAME, SET, MATCH Sri Lanka. Good effort by the Windies getting to the final but this game is done and dusted.

 

[asif9138]

gayle gone..im gone too! bye bye every one

 

[Sherlock]

14-2

 

[oyei]

2nd world cup will be win by a host team.

 

[Sherlock]

Can't get why WI having trouble with Mendis, because they have a similar bowler in Narine.

 

[mosh101]

See how windies are struggling? Lanka will bat with easeeee

 

[Asif321]

lol gayle do gangnam in dugout now .....

 

[Runner Up]

Under pressure West Indians and spin friendly pitches are favoring big time to Lankans.

 

[OmaIR1]

Game over for windies ! And we complained about hafeez being slow !

Gayle has the ability to turn it on whenever he wants... Hafeez adds no value by saving his wicket... he's gotta score in the first 7-8 overs

 

[t_kaay]

Just wondering if there is a pakpassion equivalent for the west indies and whether or not the posters on there will be going ape and slitting wrists, just like some of ours would be if we were the windies at this stage. If this was us, we would have been going MENTAL. Just goes to show, it's not just us who can have a bad day at the office. Sri lanka showing some talent at the moment.

 

[DoosraTeesra]

Congratulations Sri Lanka

 

[Itachi]

Minnows will be shown the door!

 

[mosh101]

Score at the end of 20 overs should be interesting

 

[pakistani pride]

Conditions tailor made for SL and they r doing a great job !

 

[DoosraTeesra]

Game is over. Congrats Sri LAnka

 

[Runner Up]

They struggled against Pakistan in QF in 2011 world cup too and bowled out cheaply. They are repeating it again

 

[Statsman]

What is WI trying to do here?

Post a target of 40?


Most ridiculous gameplay I've seen in any finals.

 

[CalculatedRisk]

What kind of pitch is this?

Ball stopping, not coming on to the bat, uneven bounce, dust exploding (especially in the semi-final), ball keeping low: is this the right kind of pitch for an ICC limited overs final or semi-final? Maybe for a test match fifth day, last session, this pitch is fine, but for t-20 match, this pitch is a farce.

 

[Dr Khan]

It suits SL

 

[frenchcut]

nightmarish really. they need to go at 8 an over from here on to reach 120

 

[Dr Khan]

SL already winners, no way Wi can come back from this

 

[MoHZ]

Had to look at the score twice for it to register with me. 19-2 with a 2.59 RR?!

 

[pal]

Damn, this is going to be the first meaningful cricket match to be broadcast on American television as well, and people are going to be turned off by this boring, defensive play.

 

[t_kaay]

All due credit to Sri lanka but what a poor final we are watching here.nearly half way through the allocated overs and the score is 22

 

[MRSN]

WI should play their natural game..they are overdoing with this defensive approach.

 

[talha3]

I don't think I've ever seen a t20 game with such a slow start. This is supposed to be a final. Intent is mot there either. Wickets in hand can only get you so far if your run rate is so low.

 

[t_kaay]

Omg even mailinga fielding like a pro

 

[cricketpassion]

) jonty Rhodes malinga

 

[MRSN]

Samuels is key here..he's in good form.

 

[Cricfan4eva]

Well don't count them out just yet, been horrid till now but they still have a lot of fire power left and on this pitch even a 140+ score will be very good. But they need to move on now.

 

[oyei]

Nasser need a better partner in commentary box. this other guy making me wanna poke my ear drum with a needle

 

[Runner Up]

Lankans want to win this cup.

 

[Phool]

Look at the spirit!

 

[mosh101]

No gangnam today i guess

 

[Statsman]

Just "moving on" won't help C4e, they need to go berserk from here to even come close to setting up a challenging total!

 

[oyei]

is this new kid chucking?

 

[Itachi]

Lol wi top order batting like tail enders. Tells you their class.

 

[Phool]

10 overs gone 32/2

 

[mosh101]

Kula drops it

 

[Phool]

1 run 33/2

 

[Phool]

Collesekhra drops catch! It was very difficult though

 

[mosh101]

Pollard and russell still in the dugout ! Im hopeful......

 

[Phool]

36/2

 

[Phool]

38/2

 

[t_kaay]

Even the Sri lankans in the crowd look bored

 

[Phool]

38/2 11overs

 

[Gabbar Singh]

[IgnitedMind]

21 of the over

 

[Phool]

 

[MJcricket]

Although I never thought and still don't think that WI can defeat SL, but it will be nice if WI can win inspite of Gayle's failure.

 

[Phool]

good over so far by mendis

 

[mosh101]

Bravo gone
