WC2007 Final: SL v AUS

Re: WC2007 Final: SL v AUS

231/2 after 32 overs

Adam Gilchrist! What a player?

  • fastest-ever hundred (off 72 balls) in a World-Cup Final, his 15th in 268 ODIs
  • the highest score in a World Cup Final beating Ponting's 140* v India in 2003
  • third straight score of over 50 in a World Cup Final. That's the hall mark of a truly great player i.e. scoring runs when the team most needs 'em
  • passed 9,000 ODI runs in the process: 9038 at 36.00 with 15 hundreds

54 v Pakistan 1999
57 v India 2003
*149 *(despite having a quiet World Cup by his very high standards) v Sri Lanka 2007

Take that South Africa, India and Pakistan who all tend to freeze or choke on the big occasions.

Re: WC2007 Final: SL v AUS

ya, this match is over

i have a feeling that jayasuria is gonna go out in 1-10 runs just like what happened to tendulkar in 2003

Re: WC2007 Final: SL v AUS

So true

We should not begrudge Australia if we are true cricket fans. Let's admire and applaud another truly clinical and professional performance from their players. They are deserving World Champions

As lankans had theirs chaddis off to Gilly, we had our hats off :Salute:

Re: WC2007 Final: SL v AUS

I feel that pitch is flat. Australian bowlers are mostly fast bowlers. It is easier to hit fast bowlers. Most of SL batsmen have good SR. They would not lose anything getting out fighting but in process, they could win. It is only 38 overs to play and survive the hitting. If they really start applying themselves and ride their luck, anything is possible.

Re: WC2007 Final: SL v AUS

why blame philippines only meray bhai......when did you visit pak last time ?.....there are many instances where our mahan "qassai" bhai log have been caught for mixing all sort of meet..from donkey to goat to dog to cow to camel.....and I am not kidding, I am serious....ok ok,i better stop before ehsan bhai issues a warning asking us to get back to the topic, though the match itself is also some sort of Qassai-ship with aussies having a 'toka" in their hands and poor sri lankans running around like cows and goats run after seeing a butcher....
