Aamir Sohail is particularly irritating today.
btw, except for RP's 26 runs over , I think India have done pretty well.
...and RP dropped Jayasuria too.
Re: Final * India v Sri Lanka * Karachi * Jul 6, 2008
Sohail, shut your trap.....he keeps yapping about something or the other...no matter how obvious it is to the viewer
Re: Final * India v Sri Lanka * Karachi * Jul 6, 2008
Why is Sohail having an orgasm about Jayasuria.....he has to praise him 3-4 times every over (lest we forget how great he is).
Meanwhile, what a misfield by RP. At best, he is a bad fielder....today he is having a esp rotten day.
Re: Final * India v Sri Lanka * Karachi * Jul 6, 2008
Take that 26 runs over out and I will say India has done splendidly so far.
Unfortunately, that over skewed everything and obviously if RP had taken that catch, Sri Lanka would have been struggling big time.
Re: Final * India v Sri Lanka * Karachi * Jul 6, 2008
I like this decision of including an extra batsman (even if it is that ch*t*a Uthappa). Praveen Kumar would have been ineffective on this wicket anyway. So might as well include a batsman instead. Good thinking, whooever made that decision (Captain/Coach/both).

Wasim Akram's commentary skills, more than anyone, seems to be deteriorated. He is reading everything off from the screen, the score, the bowling stats, the batting stats. A screen was shown of Mahela's previous stats in the tournament, he read the numbers one by one of his and the opposition he faced. Later that over, camera shows the off-side field positions and Akram pointed out that there is one fielder in the cover and one in the slip, and the camera was zoomed in towards these two.

Its not about India-Pak oneupmanship....but I will have to say this....except for Rameez, no other Pakistani commentators in view should have been allowed to enter the commentator box in the first place.
Waqar. Akram & Sohail need lessons in English -- no doubt.
In the last game, Akram said something like "that shot was awesomly good" -- what the heck ?
Kids should not be allowed to watch TV when these guys are commenting....it will screw up their *angrezi *grammar.
Re: Final * India v Sri Lanka * Karachi * Jul 6, 2008
If RP had taken that simple catch of Jayasuriya....Vaas would have been in as early as 17th over.
What a let down by RP.....and what an escape by SL.

And for the first time in the Asia Cup....espn360 goes down....looks like too many Desis woke up early to follow this game.
Re: Final * India v Sri Lanka * Karachi * Jul 6, 2008
AXXXXEEEELENT SHOT....says Waqar.
Vaas hit it with an axe......
Re: Final * India v Sri Lanka * Karachi * Jul 6, 2008

if one goes by how effective India's less-heralded spinners were on this wicket, I think Murli & Mendis can still make this game interesting.
Re: Final * India v Sri Lanka * Karachi * Jul 6, 2008
Pathan is an under-rated fielder generally....but that was such a pathetic effort by him...gifted the Sri Lankans FOUR runs.

well jokes aside, this Asia Cup has followed a similar pattern if you compare it with the previous one. In 2004, Srilankan beat Pakistan emphatically after which Pakistan beat India in a crucial must win game. However India beat Srilanka in a must win game and eliminated Pakistan from the final. Srilanka won the final after batting first and if I remember correctly if was the spin attack which assited them their as well in the final. Lets see if Dhoni and Co. can change the history.
Re: Final * India v Sri Lanka * Karachi * Jul 6, 2008
I am sick of this song....don't they have any other song to play.
Srilanka all out 273 in 49.5 overs
Re: Final * India v Sri Lanka * Karachi * Jul 6, 2008
Pathan just does not know how to ball yorkers.
...and his slow pace makes him a piece of cake on dead pitches like this one.
Re: Final * India v Sri Lanka * Karachi * Jul 6, 2008
A modest total by SL...see whether India are bowled out before hitting 250 or something... :)
