Forget all the losers for the next 8 hours and get on with the real thing. Hoping for a cracker of a match.

For SL, I think the two decisions are:

Atapattu v/s Tharanga
Fernando v/s Maharoof

I would imagine that Tharanga and Fernando retain their spots ... Malinga comes back to replace Maharoof. Atapattu is a tempting option, given Tharanga's relative lack of runs .. but, difficult to envisage them pushing him in for the first time in such a big match.

tharanga and dilharay set to play. ian smith saw attapatu go by and he signalled ian with a thumbs down.
and dilharay is bowling out there right now while mahacrap is busy giving catches to someone

Maharoof is better than the mahacrap we have that go around being touted as all rounders

Any clues on the NZ side?

I am sure Bond and Oram will come back .. Patel and, maybe Gillespie, to sit out.

SL have won the toss and will bat. their team as mentioned.
Fleming is playing jeetan patel, and bond n oram are back.

turnout for a WC semi as pathetic as the crowd in the stadium

i bet there will be more people for India - Bangladesh

Tharanga just bowled himself after a good knock. its 111-3 in 25.1

in comes leather tanner de silva

2 terrible LBW umpiring decisions given by the Umpires against SL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

justforkix · « **Reply #18 on:** April 24, 2007, 05:57:36 PM »

SL 259/4. NZ need 41 more to win the game in 14 balls. Very tough ask

Jayawardane

This is what great captains are..... awesome Jayawardene... selfless innings

vincent · « **Reply #21 on:** April 24, 2007, 06:39:37 PM »

Well. 289..!!!! NZ will have to make a tournament record to chase that!! SL is almost in finals!!

Zacked · « **Reply #22 on:** April 24, 2007, 06:44:59 PM »

Tournament Record?

England chased 300 that day...

Sorry. Yes, that was an exception. After all, It was an irelevant match.

WC Semis record anyways. 289 is the highest semi final score in a WC 50-over format.

Malinga Bowling PEACHES !!!!!!!!!!

dhruvdeepak · « **Reply #28 on:** April 24, 2007, 07:07:22 PM »

NZ playing like wussies all day. i mean did you see how Bond dropped Jayawardene and the 200 missed runouts, and just awful bowling in the death.
they have a 3% chance (according to fineleg mathematics) of chasing this. SL pretty much sealed their WC berth. Fleming must be thinking %$^#%$#$@ ill never get in a final. and Rudi - #$%^%$^#@ he must have decided to make up for the poor decisions in the first inning. theyre just giving anything out lbw - whether it hits bat, pad, glove, air.

What is the role of NZ top order ?!? - Get the run rate upto 8 for Oram, McCullum, McMillan, Vettori

justforkix · « **Reply #30 on:** April 24, 2007, 07:23:00 PM »

Brilliant bowling by Malinga. one of the best spells to watch in this WC.

Taylor raises his bat to the crowd after they applaud him for finally getting bat on ball

WTF IS GOING ON? ANOTHER BAD DECISION! Taylor gone! 32-2 in 10.3! Rudi handing out warnings to Dilharay - maybe take off the shades and watch the ball, old man!

Poor decision for Dilshan too by Taufel. Bad day for him. Rudi always has bad days.

Raja says "Taylor is as clueless facing Malinga as my grandma surfing the web. He has no idea whats going on and can only grin sheepishly."
