Semi Finals

So, what kind of pitch is this, outside of 'bouncy', anyway? I'm keen to know what a par score would be.

Can't wait for the match to start. It feels like it should have started already.

Some body said that it has a sort boundary that mean if sri lankan bat first they will put huge total as well as the ball will come to bat nicely although it helps to fast bowlers

Pakistan scored 349 against Zimbabwe on it (not that that tells you much) Sabina Park, Kingston recent games

Agree on that second point, it's only four hours away and now is when I start to think am I going to be able to stay up all night or should I get a couple of hours shut eye? Such confusion.

On the green tonite ?

Give me a break. I live in Japan.

All I've heard about the pitch is that it has some bounce in it!

So its a green seamer is it?

oh ur joking.. this game does not start till 2:30am :S :S :S

I am so excited about the semis. I can't wait for the matches to start. I love Sri Lanka and hope they do well today. Now is the crunch time for all the remaining teams in the World Cup. As you guys know recent matches between SL and NZ have been pretty open affairs. The SL tour to NZ ended in draws in both the test and ODI series although SL did defeat NZ in the super eights match. The real test though is today. Am I the only one that thinks this has the potential to be a better encounter than the oz-sa match? Still it will be fun to see the real matches- the semis and final.

Kumar Sangakkara
Mahela Jayawardena
Chamara Silva
Tillakaratne Dilshan
Russel Arnold

Chaminda Vass
Dilhara Fernando
Lasith Malinga
Muttiah Muralitharan

If any one think fleming's men can beat this team it's a Day Dream

Well it'd be an unfair competition if SL were allowed 12 men and if you were going to clone a player, wouldn't you be better of cloning Murali?

TOMMOROWS TITANIC CLASH (1 VS 2)

the mind games have already begun even in their sleep, I really hope South Africa do choke again (but not in their sleep,) but Australian's prepare yourself for one big battle, lets not repeat that 400+ THING ever AGAIN!!!!

THE VENUE

Situated on the outskirts of the tourist resort area of Rodney Bay on the island's north-east coast, Beausejour Stadium is one of the Caribbean's newest major venues, completed in 2002 and staging its first international match later that year and it's first Test in 2003. In 2006 it became the first ground in the West Indies to stage a floodlight ODI when Zimbabwe were the visitors. Constructed on 22 acres, the stadium has a seating capacity of 15,000 inlcuding 18 hospitality suites and a modern pavilion that offers each team its own gym, lounge, balcony and conference room.

THE LIKELY OUTCOME

For Australia

Australia will have a shot for cricket's immortality!! Then it would be now or NEVER!!!

For South Africa

Smithy the wanky will go straight home empty handed after this match aloong with his parade of chokers

Ricky Ponting says: Gibbs you drop the World cup again. lol

 

[Loony BoB]

Ugh, this wait is excruciating.

 

[marc71178]

But not as excruciating as some of the posts this morning.

 

[FILOCRICKET]

Ugh, this wait is excruciating.

you mean the 1hr wait between NZ or Sri Lanka.

or

the long and excruciating 24hr wait between Aus and S.A

24 Hours where was Jack Bauer when you needed him

 

[Loony BoB]

Looking at my Location field under my avatar, I'd say it's pretty obvious as to what game I can't wait for.

 

[pasag]

But not as excruciating as some of the posts this morning.

Indeed.

 

[Zinzan]

Weather looking slightly ominous

wouldn't read too much into that, its the exact same forecast yahoo weather has had for every NZ game, right down to the 30 % chance of rain.

Yeah, seems they use that for pretty much every game regardless of who is playing, though. 30% must be the favoured 'safe' weather report.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Just realised the game is an hour later than usual. Doh!!!

Tomorrow is going to suck so bad. Have presentation (in japanese) for my International Trade seminar. And then there is a little drinking happening after. Doh x2!!! I'm gonna be so tired I will get drunk on about a pint

Dude, you are gonna have to change your posting style if you wanna last on these forums. Absolutely dire so far

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Anzac Day tomorrow, so good.

I looked at about 10 different weather sites, some say fine, some say chance of showers, some say high chance of showers and some say thunder storms. So I guess it will snow.
