World Cup Final: India v Sri Lanka

[Pottsy]

6/256, one over left.

Shall be an interesting chase now.

[Pottsy]

Great finish by the Lankans, 62 runs in the battting powerplay, a 6 off the last ball.

6/274, HUGE pressure on the Indians.

[CoverKing]

Perara 22 (9) Mahela 103 (88)
6/274 last ball goes for a 6 by Perara. Last over goes for 18

awesome Mahela!

Just won his country a world cup!

[Pottsy]

Big call pipers...small matter of a little master and a blaster to go yet...

[Pottsy]

Maybe not a huge call though - highest successful run chase at the Wankhede stadium is 229 (by SL in 1997).

indeed. but if anyone can better that then a team with Sachin and Sehwag would be a chance. Have to see off Malinga's two overs first though...

Malinga v Sehwag - can't wait... hurry up tea break!

[Pottsy]

Too right.

Will we get to see Tendulkar v Murali to decide the fate of a world cup?

Will Sehwag slaughter them?

Will Malinga bowl a length delivery at least once in his ten overs?

[CoverKing]

Malinga gets Sehwag second ball

[NFC]

WOW what a start!!

[CoverKing]

Challenged by Sehwag, and is out IMO

[CoverKing]

if this is given not out because "he hit it". it is a **** joke

Clearly didnt hit it IMO

AND OUT. SEE YA SEHWAG

[Pottsy]

Awesome. Love the optimistic Indian commentator hearing the non existent edge.

He only has 4 deliveries.

yorker
bouncer
slow-bouncer
full toss

[CoverKing]

Pipers, the thing with him, he bowls amazingly well with the reverse swinging old ball

[Dogwatcher]

And bowls very well in the power plays.
Don't under rate him.

5 - he's got a slow full toss too.

Far from it. He is my second favourite player in world cricket behind Afridi.

they both do freakish things far too frequently for them to be considered freakish...

Good to see the much MALigned Watson finally get the recognition he deserves in the World Cup Final thread!
