Murali out bowled by Hall. 2 runs needed, 1 wicket left.

 

[andyc]

Crazy stuff

Maharoof facing though, should be a tie at worst.

 

[oz_fan]

Maharoof picks up a run. Malinga on strike. 1 run needed to win.

 

[andyc]

Maharoof gets a single off Boje's second ball, Malinga on strike.

Edit: Beaten...

 

[andyc]

Malinga hits a four. SL win

 

[oz_fan]

SL win with a 4 to Malinga. What a finish!

 

[JASON]

Absolutely nerve wracking !! Phew... it was a tight finish !!

 

[JASON]

Brilliant knock by Mahela to set up this win . Is this man an exemplary skipper or what ....

Brilliant !! Well Played . Definitely the Player of the series in my book .

 

[GIMH]

Sounds like a great match

 

[Nate]

A certain South African fan on this forum would still contend that he was the most mediocre batsman ever to score so many runs and help his Team win Tests !!

Hilarious. Seriously, don`t be stupid.

Great win by Sri Lanka, well played Mahela. He and Murali have really done it.

Sounded like a marvellous finish, great victory by Sri Lanka and what an innings by Mahela. So much for my prophecy of 2008 however.

 

[Beleg]

Bravo Sri Lanka! You rule.

 

[alternative]

Missed the ending moments of this match, great commentry andy, JASON and Oz_fan..

anyway good stuff Sri Lanka tho..
Mahela and Murali.. top effort..

 

[TT Boy]

Heard (well read on Cricinfo.com) that Mahela was dropped on two, nice to know South Africa's game plan of dropping the key men continues.

congrats to sri lanka for holiding on till the end. great innings by Mahela. credit should be given to the south africans as well, they really came hard in this test match. They could've easily won this if they had held on to their catches. 6-7 catches were dropped and a stumping opportunity missed in SL second innings.

hey, is that u in your avarta?

 

[Jono]

I'm trying to think of a player in recent times that has stepped up his game so dramatically after being named captain. Can't think of any that come close to Mahela Jayawardene recently... what a gun!

Great win SL, looks like it was a cracker of a finish.

 

[TT Boy]

hey, is that u in your avarta?

I wish.

Great win by Sri Lanka. A fine performance by Mahela, Jayasuriya, Maharoof and even Prasanna.

And as for dean jones, he is doubtless a racist and deserved a greater punishment than simply being sacked. I hope he never works as a commentator again.
