Sri Lanka now 5/8 :eek:
So much potential, rarely lived up to as a whole team though.

sri lanka are in a heap of shit
Bloody Sri Lanka, do they ever play anyone else that Bangladesh?
Go Bangas, get Kumar and they will win.
Yes. They played Zimbabwe the other day.
The Banglas seem to me the next up and coming team. They have a lot of young talent in there.
Bloody hell 5/40, Bangers for the sake of cricket need to win this. fantastic stuff if they can pull it off, unlike what happened in NZ

Yeah true, I love to see the lower team win.
The other batsman seems to be batting better. The problem with the bangars is they're defending a small total. But the req. eco. rate is almost 4 an over.

It's also the final, so this is the one that matters.
Despite the 4 missed catching chances, we can't possibly **** it up from here can we?

Well you being Bangladesh and all....:p
Lot depends on when Ashraful brings the openers back on

yeah but against NZ they were in a winning position in both test matches and couldnt win it and I think a 1 of the one dayers they managed to lose also

i want to know why sri lanka keep trying hacks on their team like farveez maharoof?
not having any other options other than dilhara fernando and thushara is another issue as well

Maharoof is a handy player.
I don't rate Fernando one bit.
I've never heard of Thushara.

6/105
48 to win from 53 balls
I think its safe to assume that Sri Lanka will win this
Sangakkara gone to guess who? <3 Shakib. Neck and neck now.

The danger man is finally gone and guess who got him...yep Shakib Al Hasan. Very close game.
UPDATE: Another wicket goes. Looks like they're finished.

Shakib gets Sangakkara then 2 balls later gets Kulesekara!!
8/114
Mahroof 32*
39 to win from 39 balls.
Did I mention I love Shakib?

murali with a 20 run over to swing the momentum

16 Jan 2009, 19:23
Lol Murali hits 20 off one over.
8/138
15 needed from 24 balls.
Murali the hero lawl.
Why did they take off Shakab?
Terrible decision as Murali hits 20 runs off an over. Sri Lanka now with plenty of balls in hand and only need 15 to win.
Murali going insane.
4 4 2 . 4 6
Only 15 required for Sri Lanka to win.
Hossain will have just become a national villian, surely
its a ****ing tail ender :eek:

Murali is absolutely smashing them, he's on 22* off 12 balls. Only 13 runs off 21 balls. Unbelievable.
one day the bagers are going to learn how to win

Worse, it's Murali.
:p
rubel hossain now knows how michael kasprowicz feels
atleast he can learn from it, he is only 19
Worse, it's Murali.
:p
so true, that makes it worse
Unbelievable.
Murali hits Hossain for another 6.
Captain is to blame for keeping him on.
*EDIT*
Now a 4, man this bloke will booed senseless.
I'm off to kill Ashraful.

its over now
hossain! where art thou!
He'll be dead by the end of the month.
well he lost it for them
that must be one of the worst losses any team has suffered that I can recall
to lose it from there is, well embarrassing.

Why the hell was Hossain kept on after getting smashed for 20?!?!?
Murali spanks him for 6, then 4 and all the sudden they need 1 to win off 2 overs.

Well that was crap.
What was Ashraful thinking?? They'd be spewing right now.
How can you possibly have a team 5/6 and lose? :thumbsd:

the good thing was it wasnt a humiliating defeat
if anything they made a hell of a game of it defending 150
imagine if they could bat
Bangladesh sure ****ed that up. :(

Man of the match has to go to Murali.
Rubel Hossain is the most promising bowling prospect we've ever produced and I hope this shambles hasn't damaged his confidence too much.
He was kept on because he's capable of taking wickets, as he showed by taking 4 on debut last time. Ashraful took the attacking option instead of throwing on Mahmudullah to bowl his tight offies and forcing mistakes by keeping the runs down, which would have been a more defensive ploy. It wasn't that bad a decision. Murali batted ridiculously well during those overs and credit should go to him. Rubel, for his part, should have thrown in some slower ones and some yorkers but at 19, he probably hasn't got them in his armory yet.

Dump him and make Shakib captain.

Kumar Sangakarra played superbly and had some able support.
We bowled well throughout the innings, bar the last couple of Rubel overs.

if you think about it on a certain perspective, you should never have ever been in a position to win when you score 152 to defend
That's how I'm looking at it.
Murali wins with the bat - i can't believe it!
Awesome comeback, feel for the Bangys though.

i swear i was watching this very same game right then on free to air tv. both games played are replicas of each other
the story is similar with both home teams getting the away team which is chasing a moderate target down 7 wickets
and the two tailenders pull off the win
