Re: ICC World Twenty20: Sri Lanka v England, Super Eights, Pallekele, Oct 01
Breaking news: Lankans are through to the semi finals... :D
They were already in at the start of the game..England needed to chase down 170 in 13 overs...too big of a task for any one.
Re: ICC World Twenty20: Sri Lanka v England, Super Eights, Pallekele, Oct 01
This over is make or break over for England.
After this over, they can start packing...
PS: Swan is doing Gul here but do they have Umar Akmal on the other hand?
Re: ICC World Twenty20: Sri Lanka v England, Super Eights, Pallekele, Oct 01
Now Swann getting into the act - 3 boundaries off Malinga and a SIX off Ajantha
Re: ICC World Twenty20: Sri Lanka v England, Super Eights, Pallekele, Oct 01
2 overs, 33 required.
Can they take 20 in this over to keep hopes alive?
Re: ICC World Twenty20: Sri Lanka v England, Super Eights, Pallekele, Oct 01
33 more runs needed from 12 balls...few more 6s? :D
Re: ICC World Twenty20: Sri Lanka v England, Super Eights, Pallekele, Oct 01
SL, WI and Aus though to the semis...
Re: ICC World Twenty20: Sri Lanka v England, Super Eights, Pallekele, Oct 01
Wrong judgement from Patel to get out...but well played...English hope dimming...
Re: ICC World Twenty20: Sri Lanka v England, Super Eights, Pallekele, Oct 01
Patel goes after a well-played 67. wrong shot at the wrong time. got no support from the other end apart from Swann
5 wickets for Slinga Malinga
Re: ICC World Twenty20: Sri Lanka v England, Super Eights, Pallekele, Oct 01
Last over to go...only 6s please... :D
Re: ICC World Twenty20: Sri Lanka v England, Super Eights, Pallekele, Oct 01
Eng just need 4 sixes in last over....
Re: ICC World Twenty20: Sri Lanka v England, Super Eights, Pallekele, Oct 01
Its all over for England...WI go through into the Semis... :D
Re: ICC World Twenty20: Sri Lanka v England, Super Eights, Pallekele, Oct 01
21 needed off the last ball .... and it's all over for EX -champions
Hum Hein Raahi T20 K
Phir Milein Gey Chaltey Chaltey :D
Re: ICC World Twenty20: Sri Lanka v England, Super Eights, Pallekele, Oct 01
Swann fell short of Gulling enough... :D
Re: ICC World Twenty20: Sri Lanka v England, Super Eights, Pallekele, Oct 01
the lions definitely roared on this one…hope it continues
Re: ICC World Twenty20: Sri Lanka v England, Super Eights, Pallekele, Oct 01
Ehsan Bhai must be preparing to go to Airport to receive his team :D
Re: ICC World Twenty20: Sri Lanka v England, Super Eights, Pallekele, Oct 01
Sri Lanka is so consistently professional in their performances :k: - you very rarely notice a complete collapse these days.
Re: ICC World Twenty20: Sri Lanka v England, Super Eights, Pallekele, Oct 01
And Team Misbah lost T20 Series to This England team in spinning pitches of UAE
Re: ICC World Twenty20: Sri Lanka v England, Super Eights, Pallekele, Oct 01
True but one would back SLA to beat NZ, England and Windies on sub-continental pitches (or atleast 70-80% of the time)
Wait till they meet Australia or Pakistan
Actually I see a pattern in international cricket esp. in world tournaments
NZ may beat other teams but they struggle against Pakistan, England and Australia
South Africa tend to struggle against Australia and Pakistan
Despite playing well against other teams, Pakistan seem to have a mental block against India (and Australia)
Sri Lanka may beat other teams but they usu. struggle against Pakistan and Australia
India may beat Pakistan but they struggle against Australia
Re: ICC World Twenty20: Sri Lanka v England, Super Eights, Pallekele, Oct 01
In all the successful teams we have seen captions are consistently performing.
Though SL has many stars like mahela, sanga and dilshan you never hear about their dressing room conflicts. they are indeed playing like a unit.
i can already see SL in Finals.
Re: ICC World Twenty20: Sri Lanka v England, Super Eights, Pallekele, Oct 01
So Sanga captained today cz One more slow over rate for Mahela and he could be banned-These lankans are so clever man
