Pretty convincing win for SL. They’re peaking at the right time. WI will have a tough task in the Semi!

Called it re: Sri Lanka before the tournament. Best T20 bowling attack ever.

If you took India's batting and joined it with SL's bowling it would be the most unbeatable T20 team.

NZ fans in bringing England into it shocker.
No idea how you don't ever get banned when the only reason you come on a thread like this is to criticize NZ. Or SL if they ever let NZ get on top of them. Just leave the NZ forums to be if you're going to constantly be a **** about them.

If the pitch was a dustbowl with not much bounce then maybe...

Meh, had a bad match or two and lost their best batsman (close to the best in the world). Doesn't alter the fact they're an awesome batting lineup.

The leading question betrays a suspicion on the questioners part tho, surely? It's an implied suggestion rather than an outright statement.

&, despite my appearance and general demeanor, I can confirm that no I'm not. :p
Of course it does.

Given how little the white ball has swung this year, the fact that Gul was getting it to reverse so soon means that something unusual was taking place.

I don't think that Vettori was wrong to suspect that something underhand may have been going on - a degree of ball tampering would certainly be one way of getting the ball to reverse so soon. Vettori was quite right to seek clarification from the umpires, because if Pakistan had been at it, then New Zealand would have a legitimate grievance about being cheated out of the tournament.

However, there is a world of difference between being suspicious, and outright accusing Gul/Pakistan of cheating, which Vettori to my knowledge hasn't done.

Yeah. True, no wonder we won a test series in England last time we came, or won CB series in Australia, or won a test series and ODI series in NZ....
What happened last time India ventured to New Zealand where flat pitches hadn't been made for them?

Players like Rohit Sharma, Suresh Raina and Yusuf Pathan will never be good enough players to play any other form of cricket. Could you see Raina playing test cricket?

You won a test series in England because India had good batsmen on that tour, but the NZ pitches were no different then India's crappy slow dustbowls.If NZ didn't need you're money then the green seamer's wickets would of been used again.

:laugh:

Anyone that rates India's new breed of batsmen :laugh:

Personally think it's their bowling that's a bit weak. Don't rate Irfan or RP Singh and Ishant isn't well suited to the format. Ojha's a promising little tweaker but he's not an especially good bowler. Zaheer and Harbhajan are quality, but it's just them.
