**Official** Semis and Final Thread

[BoyBrumby]

Probably been commented on before, but boy does Badree look ordinary.

Ha, and gets a wicket with a rank long hop as I type.

 

[Dissector]

I think the Windies are actually up now. Batting is really not looking easy and the RRR is above 8.5.

 

[Cabinet96]

Badree's had a pretty good tournament so far tbf.

Been a real strangle by WI so far.

 

[NUFAN]

Haha awesome

Yeah except in my excitement it wasn't actually Defoe - he crossed it, never mind.

That wicket of Sangers was huge, imagine if Bravo had of caught Mahela earlier. All ifs and buts, I realize Samuels was dropped early too.

Yeah, definitely been effective. If I was one of the T20 haterz I'd probably say that the fact that such an ordinary looking roller can be effective says all you need to know about the format.

CBA to check but bet his FC record isn't v flash.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Eff me, Angelo. That was merde, son. Brain fade.

Think you could say the same about a lot of these West Indies players. One of the reasons I want Sri Lanka to win.

Starting to look unlikely though, pressure was building on Mathews.

 

[stumpski]

Whoa, that could have been game, set and match. Difficult chance but Russell hasn't had the greatest of games.

 

[Cabinet96]

Has a T20 economy of 4.65, but only takes a wicket every 15 overs in FC games, meaning an average of 37.5.

 

[Jono]

This is a disgrace from Sri Lanka. Honestly pathetic.

Good on the WI though.

 

[Cabinet96]

Game over?

 

[stumpski]

Mahela gone, as the req. rate touches 10. The crowd must be be absolutely stunned.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Oh, Mahela. What a way to go.

Windies very much in the driving seat now. Go so far as to say it's theirs to lose.

 

[Prince EWS]

Has a T20 economy of 4.65, but only takes a wicket every 15 overs in FC games, meaning an average of 37.5.

The pitches in West Indian domestic cricket (and standard of batting) massively favour bowlers like him too, so that's absolutely terrible. Nikita Miller for example has 217 wickets First Class wickets @ 16 and he's not even a Test standard bowler.

 

[Shri]

Lets go Windies!!!

 

[Dissector]

Yeah Mahela was obviously freaked out by the DL requirement but it was looking tough going for Sri Lanka anyway. And it appears as if wicket no. 5 is down. Yup.

 

[Lostman]

Knew we were gone after the last 5 overs.
Another final another choke job.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Narine and Bravo like it.

Cannon throw, actually. Never run on a fumble, etc.

Lankans and finals, eh? The SA of finals, tbh.

 

[Jono]

How many times are Sanga and Mahela going to come up short in finals?

 

[Dissector]

This pitch is obviously not easy to bat on. The gap between Samuels and all the other batsmen is astonishing. Definitely one of the great TT knocks.
