Re: Australia Tour To SriLanka - 2011
dilscooop meri jaan !!!
johnson ko nanga kar diya
loving this!!!
unlike some people on here.. i support my desi brothers over gore anyday 
[TABLE=“class: commsTable”]
19.6
Johnson to Dilshan, no run, full, angled across him, beats the bat, Dilshan doesn’t try the bye
19.5
Johnson to Dilshan, FOUR, another short ball, top-edged over midwicket, and somehow even this goes for four. Australia absolutely clueless
19.4
Johnson to Dilshan, FOUR, what a way to get to maiden Twenty20 international hundred, with the trademark scoop, it’s not connected very well, but enough to clear fine leg. Dilshan leaps for joy, the crowd is going crazy, and everybody barring the Aussie fielders is loving it. White applauds too
19.3
Johnson to Dilshan, SIX, This is absolute toying around with the bowling. Dilshan stands with an open stance, across the stumps, he wants to go over leg side, and a clue less Johnson serves up a gentle long hop, and is pulled out of sight
19.2
Johnson to Dilshan, SIX, old-fashioned Twenty20 slog, helps that this is a length ball, and he opens up the stance to send it over long-on. Into the 90s now. Hmm
19.1
Johnson to Dilshan, no run, tries the scoop again, but is beaten by the slower bouncer. Called one for the over
Re: Australia Tour To SriLanka - 2011
Phool Khilay hain, Dilshan Dilshan
Re: Australia Tour To SriLanka - 2011
Lol Lankans killed Aussies what a knock by Dilshan
Re: Australia Tour To SriLanka - 2011
It was lovely to watch the pitai of Johnson & ODI Best All rounder Watson 
[TABLE=“class: commsTable”]
Watson is back
17.1
Watson to Dilshan, SIX, don’t gape disbelievingly when you read this: Dilshan has slog-swept Watson for a six. Watson can’t believe it either. Just brilliant premeditation and execution
17.2
Watson to Dilshan, FOUR, short ball, not much width, but Dilshan’s wrists manufacture immense power on cut shots, and this has gone for four too
17.3
Watson to Dilshan, 1 run, full ball, Dilshan clears the front leg, and heaves this to long-on for one
17.4
Watson to Mendis, 1 run, high full toss - not high enough to be called - the top edge falls between midwicket and long-on
17.5
Watson to Dilshan,** FOUR,** a perfectly respectable yorker, but Dilshan stabs at it, hard into the ground, and then over point for another four. This is some pasting
17.6
Watson to Dilshan,** SIX,** another slog-sweep! Low full toss, Dilshan’s front leg gets out of the way, and he lofts this over midwicket. Wonder if Watson regrets that throw at Dilshan’s face
Re: Australia Tour To SriLanka - 2011

Re: Australia Tour To SriLanka - 2011
MUHAHAHAHAHAHHA Lankans Clean sweeped Aussies in T20
Mendis got 6
Gul's record of Best T20 Is broken now :(
Re: Australia Tour To SriLanka - 2011
wow, I happened to watched Warner's dismissal and it was as unique as you can.
BAW Mendis to Warner, OUT, My word. We need a new scoring entry for this. Caught Jayawardene b Mendis simply won't do! Sit down and hear this out. Warner slog-sweeps this, Mathews takes the catch at the edge of midwicket boundary, but just as he is about to run over the fence with his momentum, he throws the ball back in - both his feet in the air. The closest fielder is 30 metres from him, but he has lobbed it back that far! Australia can't believe it. The replays aren't lying. Top presence of mind from Mathews and Mahela. Relayed Mathews caught Jayawardene bowled Mendis!
DA Warner c Jayawardene b BAW Mendis 16 (29m 18b 2x4 0x6) SR: 88.88
Re: Australia Tour To SriLanka - 2011
^ :k:
Mendis wrapped it up in the end. Signs of things to come …

Yeah it was a great catch by Matthews and Jaya Both
Re: Australia Tour To SriLanka - 2011
Watson *ney almost hisaab barabar kar diya tha..
*Mendis turned it around for SLA. A close win in the end
Re: Australia Tour To SriLanka - 2011
Watson played Brutally
Re: Australia Tour To SriLanka - 2011
Ajantha Mendis’ figures of 6/16 are the best in T20, surpassing Gul’s 5 for six runs against NZ

Re: Australia Tour To SriLanka - 2011
The Great Catch
Re: Australia Tour To SriLanka - 2011
Should rank as the best outfield catch ever. Wow!

Yes, That was really awesome effort. The understanding between Anjelo and Mahela was also good.
