Awesome Zaheer!

 

[Sir Alex]

Floodlights are pathetic if player responses are to go by. In fact they have made official complaint.

Give Nehra seaming conditions and a floodlit pitch and somehow he turns into a match winner.

Just BTW, how do floodlights make the ball move around? I've heard it mentioned numerous times but just cannot work it why it happens or if the commentators are constantly merely referencing difficulty seeing movement under lights.

But yeh, Nehra is pretty alright in good conditions, gets just enough movement and just enough steep bounce. Shame he's not the rapido bowler we occasionally saw during WC2003, but age and injuries will obviously do that to a bowler.

Kulasekera is a better batsmen than Kapugedera

 

[Lostman]

I am watching this game right now just hoping for Murali to bat.

 

[Sir Alex]

Pathetic spineless batting display.

Edit : Atleast so far.

 

[Lostman]

Murali in,
hope that selfish hack doesn't get his 50.

 

[Jono]

Well done India. Great win.

 

[Sir Alex]

Jadeja finishes with a crucial unbeaten 25 and 2-28 and a very good catch. Take that haters.

Prince bet on him I tihnk.

 

[Jono]

That 25 was not crucial at all.

 

[Sir Alex]

That 25 was not crucial at all.

If he tried to go for glory and got out for 0 India might have folded up feebly like last match, allout for say 220 in which case SL would have planned their run chase much better.

 

[G.I.Joe]

Haha. Someone needs to actually watch the game rather than read scorecards.

I under estimated India's Capacity (being an Indian) because India has record of loosing the finals. but this was fantastic and would like to have same result in the World Cup.

 

[Sir Alex]

Dhoni has won 4 out of 7 tournament finals! Ganguly won just the Natwest finals if i recollect right.

Have not check the stats with cricinfo, but the way I have seen finals I barely watch it. Although I like the ODI series more than the Tri Series.

Couple of days ago I wrote a article on Ind vs SL. I think they were almost on the world record to play ODI against each other.

I have been active member on many different forums ( at digitalpoint, slcricket, defence.pk). BTW, I run cricschedule if you know.

Bah Sri Lanka as usual play well the whole tournament and screw up when it matters most in the finals. Rubbish fielding today which is rare. Kapu has had enough chances to make a name for himself and has been consistent with his poor performances. Bring on Chandimal and Jeevan Mendis already.

Surely there must be some other team among the millions of other teams in the world other than India. Honestly even if the next game between them is the best thing since sliced bread I would pay not to watch. Find some other team to play against, stupid SLC.

Rant over. :|
