*Official* Semi Final 1 - Sri Lanka vs New Zealand

[Woodster]

That was a bit careless. Wasn't the right ball. More patience needed.

It was in the right area and on the right length, just didn't get himself outside the line and cover his stumps with his front pad.

 

[Adamc]

Had the right idea, not going to win with 220 this time. Been a lousy tournament for McCullum against the non-minnows though.

Time for Ryder to biff a few.

 

[99*]

I'm not going to survive if they keep playing like that.

 

[Athlai]

Minor heart attack.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Come on, every over Matthews bowls now is another over of Malinga we've got to deal with at the death.

 

[Bahnz]

Mendis will eat Guptill for breakfast.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

All dots and no runs make NZ supporters pissed.

 

[Athlai]

Doully really enjoys being the commentator with the gadgets at his disposal. Does him good too imo.

 

[Flem274*]

Pat Symcox says rotate the strike.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Wasn't that a welsh flag?

 

[Borges]

Mendis will eat Guptill for breakfast.

They need to attack Mendis a bit more. He is like Swann - tonk him around for a few and the hunter lion metamorphoses into a lamb for the slaughter.

 

[Bahnz]

Big Jess getting frustrated here. Watch him implode soon.

 

[Flem274*]

Pretend they're Indian Jesse!

Big Jess getting frustrated here. Watch him implode soon.

Yep, can see it coming a mile away.

 

[Athlai]

Pretend they're Indian Jesse!

So true.

 

[Prince EWS]

Pretend they're Indian Jesse!

Hopefully he was watching the Fox Sports coverage before the game.

Colombo, India

 

[Borges]

How good are the Kiwis at bowling cutters? Seems to be the way to go on this wicket.

 

[99*]

Better, much better.

 

[Flem274*]

That's right Jess, he's really Ojha!

 

[Woodster]

Mathews got through half his possible allocation all bowled during the powerplay overs and the damage is only 20 runs, thought they may have looked to target him a touch more.
