Final : India vs Sri Lanka

[Shri]

30 - 40 runs short imo.

 

[Lostman]

Almost wish had to chase more than 150. This is smack in the middle of prime choke zone.

 

[Jono]

Yuvraj wins us the T20 in 2007 and ODI WC in 2011, and then loses us this. Should have retired.

 

[Dissector]

19 runs off the last four overs right after scoring 16 off the 16th over. At that point you would have backed India to score even 160 i.e. around 50 off the last four overs. Yuvi deserves some of the blame but it was also clever bowling from the Lankans with brilliant use of that wide yorker.

 

[Lostman]

Brilliant team effort from SL. Now fir Mahela and Sanga to choke

Sanga and Dilshan. Mahela is proven in these situations...

30 - 40 runs short imo.

You know you're ****ed when the tournament loser's cliche in every game of "20 runs short" doesn't even apply anymore.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Come on guys, unfair to malign Yuvraj too much.

Too soon?

 

[Jono]

There is nothing India can do which will make this a non-choke if SL lose this. I don't care how well India bowl. Its a choke if SL don't win the cup.

Agree

 

[Maximas]

Really need Kusal to go a bit mad at the start, or else Sanga and Mahela will choke and get out for slow 20s and leave us with too much to do

He had no business nudging the ball with so many batters capable of smashing it yet to bat. **** him, his performance today is not defensible one bit.

HMRKB Herath     4       0       23       1       5.75

Just such a good team bowling effort. You'd feel so good as a captain with that.

 

[OverratedSanity]

If the pitch is slightly slow as they're saying, Mahela will boss it today.

 

[smash84]

It is usually Sanga who chokes. Mahela has a much better record

 

[Cruxdude]

He could have just slogged at the ball and got out rather than poking and prodding. Sucked all momentum out of the game.

****ty batting more like. Too cautious at the start, too pathetic at the end.

 

[Shri]

Kohli faced 8 balls in the last 4 overs. We don't deserve to win this.

 

[OverratedSanity]

****ty batting more like. Too cautious at the start, too pathetic at the end.

It was both obviously but gotta disagree. It was definitely slightly more the result of great bowling than pathetic batting. Just a tad

 

[Maximas]

Don't hold back Kusal

 

[Maximas]

Good boy
