Tri Series (India, Sri Lanka and New Zealand) - Compaq Cup in Sri Lanka 2009

[Amiya]

7-3 they are really in trouble now they want someone like samarweera to be with mccullum so he can play his natural innings but that doesn't look's to be happen.

That's what they are lacking, a partnership. Really a good performance from lankan bowlers which was expected.

Errr that wasn't particularly nice of Malinga. How bad is this pitch? I'm watching on cricinfo.

 

[angryangy]

Lowest One Day total without being bowled all out here we come!

so sure they won't be bowled out?

 

[SciD]

Cant believe this. I left Kiwis in strong position and when I come home they are gone. Well tail is batting good since I have turned on the TV.

 

[StinkyBoHoon]

what is the lowest ever score off the opening 10 overs (with the mandatory field restrictions)

17-3 can't be far off.

 

[SciD]

There will be ones low than that with so many minnows playing in international cups.

 

[Amiya]

What a brilliant win by Sri lanka. Malinga bowled really well. New Zealand have to do a lot of homework on their batting.

Gun innings from Ian Butler

Again the R. Premadasa won the match. What a performance by him. He manages to beat three international teams in a short period of time. With this win he also breaks the world record for providing most consecutive wins for the first batted team.

Congratulations to Premedasa, you little legend beauty!!!

I accepted we lost the game the moment we lost the toss.

Danny said it best in first innings commentary. Having a ground where the team who bats wins so often is bad for ODI cricket with everyone calling for changes to the format etc. They need to fix this. Play in the day time.

The pitch was horrible and under lights the ball seamed and was practically impossible to play.

I'm not reading into this game. It means nothing considering how disgusting the conditions were.

I will give huge props to Samaweera though for hitting probably one of the best ODI hundreds of all time. If he had got out early there's a good chance SL would have made less than us. I wish we could find a way to get the guy out.

....All 4 games are at the same stadium. They may as well flip 3 more coins and give the trophy away right now.

 

[StinkyBoHoon]

it is fair to say samraweera is just in a bit of form right now.

I wonder how an innings like this might help his chances at the ICC awards, it's kinda given cred to all the great test innings in that he really is playing in a manner head and shoulders above a lot of players right now.

Yeah, AWTA.

They had all the momentum going into the second innings which didn't help.

its actually good to see something for the bowlers. with the majority of the pitches batsman friendly this was a nice change.
