Final.

WTF, What is Dar doing has he lost it?

 

[Matt79]

Then Clarke nearly gets himself killed by Symonds trying to get off the pitch!

 

[nightprowler10]

Buchanan & Punter should refuse to come out after tea IMHO.

 

[Matt79]

Wtf? Absolutely dire umpiring there.

WTF, What is Dar doing has he lost it?

Well, as long as they are consistent in enforcing it in the SL innings I s'pose...

 

[nightprowler10]

Never knew warnings carry over from other batsmen.

Does the umpire have the right to deny a run? RIdiculous umpiring.

 

[Matt79]

There's the solution, just hit boundaries...

Jeez, it will be interesting if by some miracle the game ends in a tie or the Aussies lose by one run!

WTF, What is Dar doing has he lost it?

EDIT: And the worst part of it is that the ball counts as a dot ball, does an umpire have any right to make such a decision?

 

[Matt79]

According to Nicholas' reading of the laws of cricket, Dar was 100% right.

There you go!

As I said, so long as they're consistent between innings...

 

[nightprowler10]

does an umpire have any right to make such a decision?

Of course he does. He warned another Aussie batsman for running on the pitch and they didn't take heed. Just never knew the warnings carried over.

Apparently yes. They just read from the rule book. Still stupid umpiring there.

i think so cause they already warned them once

 

[BoyBrumby]

Worst fielding ever from Fernando.

 

[Matt79]

As Bill Lawry would say: "It's all happening".

 

[pasag]

Haha, how good was Symonds get up after he dived. Amazing agility.

 

[pup11]

Jayawardene acting like a tool too by having a go at Clarke, so things getting hot between both the sides.

Nothing new tbh. Same thing happened to Salman Butt in the second test match against England in 2005. Of course Butt got out LBW to Udal the very next ball.

 

[pasag]

282 to win. Things could have been worse for SL, but there's no way SL will chase this. If they do it will be the greatest WC final, if not match, ever.

 

[pup11]

282 to win for SL and something magical would be required from Jayasuriya for Lankans to even have a chance in this game.

Spotters award to NP. Good knowledge.
