Semi Finals

haha 99.4mph from Vaas? Dodgy speed gun xD

Vaas can do anything with the ball, his just a gun

 

[JBH001]

Fernando may actually get an edge, as opposed to beating it.
(or get spanked to the boundary)

 

[silentstriker]

Spanked to the boundary.

 

[chaminda_00]

Can't see any good reason for putting Fernando on for Malinga at this moment in time...prove me wrong, Fernando.

A tactic we have used all tournment, Malinga is better bowling at the death. Fernando is better bowling with the new ball.

 

[Majin]

Could have at least seen out the first power play with Malinga, tbh. He looked absolutely deadly the entire time :{

 

[JBH001]

Agreed. One more over would have been good.
As it is, now NZ has some breathing space.

I think Mahela will bring on Murali soon (or another spinner) for a short spell.

 

[Fiery]

Taylor to establish his legend today!

wtf? Jayawardene takes Malinga off?

If he can get us a win then that'll be a good start towards legendary status. Fulton looking solid.

 

[silentstriker]

Crazy over-stepping, and TWO warnings.

 

[JBH001]

Hope Til Dil does not bottle it here.
He will never play for SL again.

 

[Majin]

I think Mahela will bring on Murali soon (or another spinner) for a short spell.

Not going to have much of a choice if Fernando carries on the way he is.

 

[Fiery]

Do you get 3 warnings for running on the pitch and you're off?

 

[Majin]

Chaminda you legend!

 

[Smudge]

See ya, Taylor.

Ah well, on the upside of this likely loss, my multi is still alive surprisingly, as I had Sri Lanka to have the highest opening partnership...

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Wtf???????

Flemings was marginal, Taylors was an absolute shocker. Definitely not umpiring worthy of a Semi

 

[JBH001]

I think so, yes.

Is Fernando really transgressing, or is Koertzen being harsh on him?

Any more of this and Dilhara is gonna have a attack of no-ball-itis.

/Edit: Vaas gets him! You beauty!

 

[Majin]

Do you get 3 warnings for running on the pitch and you're off?

Yeah, if he gets another he can't bowl for the rest of the day.

Dodgy decision again here...umpiring going crazy. Still, Vaas deserved a wicket with how he's been bowling.

 

[Fiery]

Dummy. Why not just play these 2 out? Vaas nearly finishing his spell ffs. Another dodgy one from Taufel this time

 

[adharcric]

Taylor gone!

 

[Majin]

Fernando round the wicket now, which is what I thought he might do. Hopefully he'll be alright.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Styris to score a big hundred!!!
