1st semi final: Sri Lanka v West Indies

[Jono]

Lana have lost the plot.

 

[YorksLanka]

oh i cannot believe that?what on earth was he doing..what an numpty..yeah thanks for sacrificing us in the match..

 

[Maximas]

Dilshan could at least avoid running others/himself out whilst out of form, christ

 

[YorksLanka]

come on Thirri, make sure you bat through and get us to a defendable total...

 

[YorksLanka]

"the west indies womens captain looking concerned" i thought she was p***** herself actually..

 

[Maximas]

That was an amazing shot, can't believe that cleared the fence, was sure deep point would swallow that

 

[YorksLanka]

Thirimanne has certainly improved his ability to rotate the strike and has a wider range of shots this year, good to see.

you're right and i think the key is that he has learnt where his strengths are in terms of shot selections and avoids his weak shots more..he must use his natural timing rather than trying to "hulk smash" it ala thisara

 

[OverratedSanity]

Russell is so unbelievably useless. Goes for plenty and hardly ever scored runs

 

[Stapel]

Why can't Bravo or Sammy bowl???

 

[YorksLanka]

Russell is so unbelievably useless. Goes for plenty and hardly ever scored runs

he is a fantastic fielder tho from what i have seen..

 

[Maximas]

Warnie finally wins my heart

 

[OverratedSanity]

he is a fantastic fielder tho from what i have seen..

He is but I have no idea why he bowls. Should just give Gayle or Sammy or Bravo an extra over or two

 

[Maximas]

Yeah, great knock under pressure but he was way too keen to go aerial on the offside his whole innings itbt

 

[Maximas]

You'd think they'd be expecting the carrom ball most times yet they keep playing inside the line

 

[Jono]

Bravo demonstrating clearly that the light affected him. Vic fuming aws.

 

[YorksLanka]

keep going Mathews keep going lad...all the way to the end

 

[Maximas]

Good over, especially given that some hack will have to bowl the last

 

[YorksLanka]

He is but I have no idea why he bowls. Should just give Gayle or Sammy or Bravo an extra over or two

i am not sure but isnt he quicker than both of those so he is used to try and rough up the batsmen a bit maybe?

 

[Maximas]

the successful chase against the Aussies will give WI belief but those odds on defending 150 look pretty good

 

[YorksLanka]

west indies looking worried..another great shot from Mathews..one of the best finishers in cricket considering he is only 25 too..
