Oct 7- Sri Lanka vs West Indies (The Final)

Whatever WI did but, that innings of Samuels has to be a top one! Single handedly threatened to take the game away. Really enjoyed it.
 
Feel sorry for Malinga, going for over 50 on his 4 overs, and he bowled not that bad
 
WI do deserve some credit for getting to this score, the innings reminds me a bit of the world cup final in which it was sri lanka that came out far too tentatively.

they were waiting for bad balls rather than forcing the issue and it just caused them to stagnate.
 
What a comeback it's been, 100+ in the last 10 overs, bravo, 138 to win...
 
Its ironic how the Indian supporters have shift to the Windies corner and the WI team just played an inns like India, failure written all over it, lolz!

Now if WI follow suit and bowl like India, the trophy will remain in SL and never see the dying sun of the Caribbean!
 
It looks to be all Sri Lanka's game from here! They have dropped Jayawardena once now already.... And SL have the firepower to bulldoze their way through to 139 to win the trophy!

I feel WI need 3-4 wkts pretty quickly to make a game out of this.
 
The have kept Sri Lanka to a rate of under 6 but they have no proper wicket taking bowlers or death bowlers
 
Sanga gone, a spark of hope for the West Indies. Mahela's wicket could really good game changer right now

----------

Let's not forget the run rate is nearly 9 an over

----------

They have sent Mathews in so we can expect the rate to increase further *fingers crossed*
 
That's not a good thing for West Indies, he takes ages to get settled in so he would have wasted balls, but now who ever comes in will look to play faster.

Still a wicket is a wicket and all it does is build pressure on the guy coming in. :D

tweaking hell, catches win matches WI, ugh.
 
Rain here. West Indies ahead on the Duckworth Lewis score! Hope the rain doesn't play spoilsport in this game. WI need to win it convincingly.

And Mahela GONEEEEE!!!! HUGGGEEE!!!! Come on WI!!
