WC2007: Super 8

[Bilal91]

2 to win...1 wicket left...srilanka are throwin everything at SA...getting really close to a GREAT GREAT win...who will hold their nerve???

 

[Dare]

damn it how the hell did they let him get a 4.

 

[BigCrickNan]

What a game...South Africa looked dead certs until that Malinga burst of brilliant yorkers.

 

[Dare]

it goes down to the litle things like the lower order of sri lanka not getting any runs towards the end. but a posible boring game turns into one of the best ones.

 

[Afridi no 1]

great come back by Sri Lanka... it was the most interesting match....but luck goes SA's way...

 

[Bilal91]

yeah it wasn't really a controlled shot that got the final runs...was edged for 4...but what bowling from Malinga in the end...Superb...Cracking match...possibly one of the best this WC...

Fantastic cricket from Srilanka :hpraise anyway SA won , so Arthur and Donald has been talking about this kind of strong batting line ups :rtfl

 

[irottev]

LOL When I left home I thought SA had it easy. 2 down with 60 odd to get.

Then again, I feel for their tail, they were up against Malinga. He's a dangerous bowler because of how hard it is to pick the ball up. Pretty poor batting none the less. They really did choke and play some stupid shots. 4 in a row aye.

To be honest, it's a shame either team had to win. SA are STILL CHOKERS!! HAHA.

Sounded like an exciting game.


And as for Hayden, another brilliant hundred. Haha to all his critics who wanted him dropped. Lucky you arn't selectors.

Where on earth was the second slip?? Especially since every ball for the last over and a half had gone past the outside edge, and that if they did edge it there it was game over. So it would have been an attacking and defensive move. Ah well, yet again though Sri Lanka showing their fighting qualities, and the Saffers showing their clockwork like ability to choke in World Cups. Perhaps making it over the finish line here will finally put it to rest?

 

[Leicester Fox]

that game was a good result for everyone else because it really had no major effect on the net run rate,but the Saffas will definately be pleased to have the points.

you kno Mahela deserves one of those in your avatar for not having 2 slips or atleast someone covering close to third man boundary.

Except it keeps Sri Lanka in and amongst the pack, and their net-run rate is so far ahead of everyones that it's almost like an extra point at the moment.

@ Dare - Indeed, whilst watching it I was completely flummoxed as to why he didn't have one, or as you say at the least a fine third man.

 

[Dare]

hes been a good captain since he took over for Sri lanka but today his decision making wasn't the best, i felt that he waited too long to get Murali in. when he finally brought him in the field wasnt attacking enough, Dilshan had more fielders inside the cricle than Murali.

 

[siddharth2002]

That was a close one indeed, 4 wickets in 4 balls, never seen that one before. I only remember Pollock once taking 4 wickets in an over in a state match.

 

[surendar]

Malinga didn't take in a over though Except those 4 balls, SA were very much comfortable to win this with well settled Kallis. Murali also bowled well. A good thrilling win for SA
