WC 2007 Final

[aussie1st]

Still no Hussey surely he would have been more effective than Clarke here. Dead ball what on earth.

 

[aditya123]

Carnage, reminds me of the 2003 WC Final.
That hurt Indian fans and this will hurt Sri Lankan fans as well

Great knock by Gilly, one of the best in WC history.
Jayasuriya needs to fire for SRL to be in with a shout, just as Tendulkar had to fire for India to have a shout in the 03 final.
McGrath got Sachin then, will he get Jaya this time.
So many similarities in both the games.

 

[Ponting_14]

So Sri Lanka need 7.43 runs a over to win

Oh btw goooooooooooooooooooooo Gilly!!!!

 

[ZexyZahid]

281 runs for Australia. It all depends now what Jayasuriya will do.

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

I thought Symonds will hit some sixes but he didnt anyway a healthy score by us

 

[covlad-99]

aus finish on 281
sri lanka need 7.43 an over with a target of 282 to win

Indeed. You may even claim Sri Lanka are in a worse situation since India had to chase under 7 an over. Although, Sri Lanka have to sustain their run rate for less time and also if it rains any more, D/L comes into play.

 

[w3lshrugby]

Yes, it could be done. But it doesnt look too likely, we'll see

 

[Sagacious]

Gilli made the difference

His scores in World cup finals

54 V Pakistan 1999

57 V India 2003

149 V Sri Lanka 2007

 

[aussie1st]

Good total by the Aussies was hoping they would get over 300 but 282 will have to do.

 

[covlad-99]

jayawardene could be a key part of sri lanka's innings

 

[aussie1st]

Bit of swing there for Bracken went for four though good start for SL.

 

[ZexyZahid]

First ball four by Tharanga. But there is a bit of swing there.

 

[covlad-99]

gr8 start for upul tharanga and sri lanka four off the first ball, bracken's inexperience could be an attacking route for sri lanka

 

[King Pietersen]

What an innings by Gilly, has made himself a legend in that innings, a phenomenal innings. Well played Adam Gilchrist.
