46.1 Mxyzptlk to Chandana, OUT, Lack of communicatin between Chandana and Lokua'hchi leads to yet another wicket for

Wonderful fielding by the bowler!

41.2 Vaas to Eclipse, no run, Left alone by Eclipse
41.3 Vaas to Eclipse, FOUR, Brilliant cover drive by Eclipse
That's a taste of the Eclipse of old!

42.1 Chandana to Eclipse, OUT, Easy catch by DPMdS Jayawardene
Eclipse 9 (11b 1X4)
c. Jayaw'dene b. Chandana
Unfortunate end to a promising innings from the out-of-form Eclipse. Looking to slog there and he just swept the ball into the hands of midwicket.
---
45.1 Vaas to Blewy, FOUR, The punishment continues for Vaas! Premeditated sweep goes fine for a boundary!
---
45.5 Vaas to Blewy, FOUR, Sublime cover drive! Vaas now 9-0-74-1!!!
---
46.1 Chandana to Chaulk, SIX, What a six!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dead straight and great footwork!
---
48.3 Maharoof to Blewy, FOUR, That was a bad delivery by MF Maharoof, deserving this punishment
Century for Blewy. The crowd rises to its feet as he waves his bat
That is a magnificient innings by captain Blewy! Just 77 balls and that's why he is the best ODI batsman in the world. Take a bow!

*SRI LANKA innings*
0.6 Mxyzptlk to Atapattu, one run, Dropped! Pickup made a big mess of that simple chance
Mr Mxyzptlk not happy. A good slower ball lobbed into and out of Pickup's hands at midon...
---
2.4 Mxyzptlk to Jayasuriya, OUT, That ball caught the edge and struck the stumps. Jayasuriya cant belive it
ST Jayasuriya 1 (7b)
b. Mxyzptlk
Lack of footwork did him in there... The Sri Lankan topscorer of Friday fails today...
---
3.1 David(Jr.) to Sangakkara, FOUR, That was a bad delivery by David(Jr.), deserving this punishment
3.2 David(Jr.) to Sangakkara, one run, Great cooperation between KC Sangakkara and MS Atapattu
3.3 David(Jr.) to Atapattu, FOUR, David(Jr.) cant belive it - edged between 3rd slip and gully
3.4 David(Jr.) to Atapattu, one run, Dropped! Marc71178 made a big mess of that simple chance at 3rd slip. Not sure how he missed that one!
---
4.1 Mxyzptlk to Atapattu, no run, Left alone by MS Atapattu
4.2 Mxyzptlk to Atapattu, FOUR, Short, wide and BANG!
4.3 Mxyzptlk to Atapattu, FOUR, Same horrible delivery and same result!
4.4 Mxyzptlk to Atapattu, no run, Huge appeal for LBW but turned down - struck him outside offstump
4.5 Mxyzptlk to Atapattu, legbye, That ball was a mystery to the batsman
4.6 Mxyzptlk to Sangakkara, FOUR, Brilliant cover drive by KC Sangakkara
Very expensive over there. This pitch is still good, so things could get very interesting if Sri Lanka keep wickets intact...
---
10.6 Bugssy to Sangakkara, SIX, Display of Raw power and brutality by KC Sangakkara
---
11.4 Pickup to Sangakkara, OUT, That didnt look so convincing but the umpire has no doubt, out LBW
KC Sangakkara 28 (24b 3X4 1X6)
lbw b. Pickup
Sangakkara wasn't happy there... and for good reason! The reply shows a clear inside edge from that attempted sweep. Very unlucky!
---
12.4 Mxyzptlk to Atapattu, FOUR, Inseam and edged past offstump!
12.5 Mxyzptlk to Atapattu, FOUR, Horrible ball to follow up. Short and wide and smacked away. Mr Mxyzptlk has largely been far too short so far today...
---
16.6 Marc71178 to Atapattu, FOUR, Atapattu stepped out of his crease and met the ball on the full toss, driving it down the ground for a boundary
Thats another fifty for MS Atapattu
A true captain's innings here. He needs a lot more than that though...
---
17.2 Pickup to Atapattu, FOUR, Brillian cover drive by MS Atapattu
17.3 Pickup to Atapattu, no run, MS Atapattu was completely deceived
17.4 Pickup to Atapattu, no run, MS Atapattu was completely deceived
17.5 Pickup to Atapattu, SIX, What a six!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He's clearly decided to take the bowlers on now that he's gotten to 50...
---
18.4 Bugssy to Atapattu, SIX, Display of Raw power and brutality by MS Atapattu
Uncharacteristic brutality from Atapattu! Stand and deliver really, hit over longon.
---
20.5 Darkness to Atapattu, OUT, Simple catch by Neil Pickup
MS Atapattu 76 (72b 10X4 2X6)
c. Pickup b. Darkness
One risk too many there. Atapattu tried to hit Darkness over midoff and just found Pickup's hands. Great captaincy to have a man in at midoff in this situation!

David(Jr.) 7.0-0-29-1
UDU Chandana 0(0b)
TM Dilshan 10(18b)
What an amazing over! Five terrific deliveries and then a sharp riser which the batsman could only fend to slip. That over may have turned the game the way of the XI!
---
37.1 Mxyzptlk to Dilshan, OUT, That didnt look so convincing but the umpire has no doubt, out LBW
TM Dilshan 10 (19b)
lbw b. Mxyzptlk

44.3 Mxyzptlk to Vaas, OUT, Big appeal behind the stumps, umpire gives WPUJC Vaas the finger
WPUJC Vaas 14 (20b)
c. Chaulk b. Mxyzptlk
Vaas fished at that one and pays the price! Mr M takes another wicket and the CW XI close in...
---
46.1 Mxyzptlk to Chandana, OUT, Lack of communicatin between Chandana and Lokua'hchi leads to yet another wicket for
UDU Chandana 18 (28b 1X4)
run out (Mxyzptlk)
Wonderful fielding by the bowler!
---
47.6 Bugssy to Zoysa, FOUR, Full length and hit back over the bowler's head
---
48.5 Pickup to Lokua'hchi, OUT, Bowled him! Great delivery by Pickup. Lokua'hchi didnt have a clue
KS Lokuarachchi 8 (16b 1X4)
b. Pickup
Too much spin for Lokuarachchi to handle. He's in disbelief really.
---
49.1 Darkness to Zoysa, one run, One more to the total

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Daily Blast Comment: What a series! Sri Lanka and the Cricket Web XI both played their hearts out and the trophy could really have gone to either team. It all ended with a great inaugration of the CWBCC Stadium and a CW XI win. Well done to both teams on some fine cricket.

Well done guys great win.
Congrats to everyone who played a part in the tournament. This certainly backs up our claim at being one of the best (if not the best) One Day side in International cricket.
