Sri Lanka won the toss and will bat first against India. I predict a win for SL as no one can bat against Maslinga. Could someone please wake me up when the SL national anthem finishes.
I really want Sri Lanka to win this just because I don't really like India much... not in a racist way, just in a sort of jealous way. Anyway Sri Lanka's to lose now if they can get Tendulkar.
Sehwag lbw b Malinga 0 Tendulkar c Sangakkara b Malinga 18 ... England would have been in this final if it wasn't for that baseball pitcher.
Ok, India well up on the run rate but Muri still to bowl, Tendulkar gone and the slinger to come back. My money would be on Sri Lanka, but only just.
Important wicket by Dilshan. Is Dilshan the best all rounder in this world cup? Between him & Yuvraj Singh IMO.
Think Ghambir has done enough, but India's middle/tail hasn't done much this World Cup, so a few quick wickets and you never know.
Well played India, judged the run chase well. MOM for me is Dhoni, although Gambihr & Jayawardene came close. Sri Lanka were let down a bit by their bowling, should have made better use of Murali, but the better team won in the end.
I suspect if the final had been played in Sri Lanka, it may have been a different story, but at least the organisers have had the result they wanted.
So, the team that could not beat us in their own backyard are the new world champions. Oh well, we still have our 20-20 crown and let's face it, no one cares about 50 over cricket anymore, 20-20's where it's at. Enjoy your consolation prize India.
