WC2007: Semi Finals

[siddharth2002]

Here's couple of wickets when you need them.

 

[Griffo]

Argh!!! Bye Bye Vcash!!!

 

[ZexyZahid]

Muralitharan grabs another wicket! McCullum is gone for a duck. Now Sri Lanka should be confident of their win.

Bit of a daft shot from Brendon that. Should have waited until he'd faced at least one ball before going for the slog sweep!

 

[AbBh]

McMillan's batting with a runner, what's wrong??

Another wicket goes down, bye bye NZ

 

[siddharth2002]

Kiwis simply cannot handle good spin bowling and in order to win a world cup they need to be prepared for everything and that includes chasing down 250+ against Murali.

Another one goes, Jayasuria comes to the party.

Good ball that. Fulton misreading it didn't help though.

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

Now Fulton departs , Srilanka now 4 wickets away to be in the Grand Stage

 

[ZexyZahid]

Jayasuriya joins the fun! Fulton is gone!

They are getting out to really stupid shots, what was McCullum doing trying to sweep the first ball out of the park. Also the chip shot by Styris was unneeded.
Murali on a hatrick

That chip shot is still making me angry and let it be a good lesson for Styris seeing how Kiwis are folding now.

Edit - Vettori gone, SL seems to be in a hurry

I can assure that England would have performed better than Kiwis in a similar situation.

 

[AbBh]

No hope now for NZ, Vettori gone too.
They have lost 5 wickets in last 4 overs now

 

[ZexyZahid]

Muralitharan grabs another one! But McMillan and Franklin are still there and they can bat.

 

[Adarsh]

Well, Murali is now a legspinner with a googly really !! He bowls more doosras than off spinners. His off spinner is not as good as it was, not as much spin and isn't dangerous. His doosra however....

Kiwis again crumbled, they lost form at the wrong end of the tournament. They always struggle against Murali and Malinga.
