Story World Xi tour Pakistan, World Xi 2 -Pakistan 0

That was great batting by Gayle and superb bowling by Bond! Shame that they are too late to perform that good.
 
good win for World 11 even though India took the series looking forward to the Sri Lankan series!
 
Great series, good performances all around.Nice to see India win the one dayers after the test series.

World XI beaten convincingly beaten by strong Sri Lanka

84012.jpg

Sri lankan captain punches his fist after reaching 200

Sri Lanka have beaten the represenatative World XI by 7 wickets, with Mahela Jayawardene hitting 222 off just 275 balls in the Sri Lankan first Innings. It was a very emotional match as it was only the second match to be played at the Galle ground since it has been re built. Ricky Ponting came back into the World XI team and returned to skipper the side.

84037.jpg

Chaminda Vaas picked up 4 wickets in the World XI 1st Innings

The World XI batted well in the first innings to reach 400 all out with main contributer being Graeme Smith with 82 runs. Another good contribution was by Dwayne with 69 but the most suprising bit of the innings was Shane Bond scoring his first ever 50. The leading bowlers were Chaminda Vaas with his 4 wickets and then both Murali and Lasith Malinga chipping in with 3 each,​

Matthew Hoggard took 4 wickets in the Sri Lankan Innings

The World XI got off to a flying start in the Sri Lankan innings, Fidel Edwards running Michael Vandort out after he attempted a suicidal run and ended up paying the price. But that was where the luck ran out when the World XI bowlers struggled to pick up the wickets of Tharanga and Jaywardene who shared 272 run partnership, playing some excellent shots before Tharanga tried to slog sweep Panesar but only succedded in finding Matthew Hoggard on the Mid Wicket boundary. That bought Kumar Sangakarra to the crease and he then shared a 104 run partnership. To really fustrate the World XI bowlers. Eventually Sri Lanka were bowled out for 506. The main wicket takers being Hoggard with 4 and Monty Panesar with 3.
