Wicket!!!!

Dilshan choni b:Patel

 

[Pratters]

Really love the way Munaf Patel bowls. Doesn't give much room and sticks to a proper line and length.

 

[Majin]

YES! Finally a break for Zaheer. Awesome wickets!

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Damnit. Five runs short.

 

[Sanz]

Some smart slogging by Vaas and Arnold. Munaf ends his world cup campaign on a very positive Note.

 

[Pratters]

It looked as if Lanka would not make good of the surviving over the innings when they lost the two wickets. However, they have played really well since then and are favourites now to win for me.

 

[Majin]

We can knock this total off. Let's just hope we bat sensible. Bowling attack proved me wrong and bowled very well today to keep them to 254.

 

[Turbinator]

Yup, bat sensible and we can knock down this total.

 

[Jono]

I'm going to crap myself when India come in to bat. So nervous.

They got 15 more than they should have when Dilshan and Silva fell in consecutive overs, and they got 30 more than they should have got considering when Sachin got Tharanga out.

Have to bat well now.

 

[Turbinator]

Very, very, very nervous!

 

[Pratters]

Ya I am very nervous as well.

 

[Raghav]

No nervous here. SRL got the luck going! and hope they will get going now with their bowling.

 

[Fusion]

My money is on India. If they don't lose early wickets, then 254 shouldn't be that difficult for this lineup. India have more to play for in this game. I just get the feeling they will use that for motivation and come out on top.

 

[steds]

Hoping Murali cleans up tbh.

 

[Pratters]

Thoughts Sanz?

I think its a tricky total. It's not out of reach, but SL has a nice bowling attack and Murali will be a handful. We just need to see him off, but the others aren't easy to score off as well. Chances are, they'll go for the choke tactic so they can induce a bit of panic in the middle overs and get us to make some mistakes.

I'd put SL ahead, but not by much. It's a doable total.

 

[Raghav]

Going to be tough for IND batsman

 

[silentstriker]

Uthappa as an opener? Can't say that fills me with confidence in swinging conditions.

 

[Sanz]

Thoughts Sanz?

SriLanka are going to win.

 

[maxpower]

is a doable total, I'd say SL will try to utilise their part time spinners with murali applying pressure as they have in past with IND.
