Kim has started bobbing up in commentary now sledge, but it certainly has kept him in the shade ever since.
What I find interesting is it's these so called tough guys that want to be aggressive and give Australia some of their own medicine, Afridi, sreesanth, it proves that it dosen't matter how you dress up a car, unless it's got what it takes under the hood, you will get beaten everytime.

did you know adam gilchrist cried on a cricket field after making a double century .Tabloids or Emotions can do anything to you no matter how tough you are? Pete sampras used to be an emotionless face ,but he cried throughout the match when somone said somthing about his dying coach from the spectators.

I think now Sreesanth needs to be extra careful maybe If he does anything wrong he could get killed not slap. |

Dhoni is looking very dangerous at the moment. As I see it right now, India's going through to the finals! Well Done!

I think Afridi shud be opening becuz on pitches like this even if he does not hit it well it could easily go for 4's in powerplays and it could get his form back also. Edited by mystery - 03 July 2008 at 8:21pm |

Form? Come on! He has no form (or class)! He's hit or miss; simple as that!
Other than that, good luck to Sri Lanka and India in the finals! SL all the way!!! |

I disagree i think he has the ability to become one of the best all-rounder in Odi but Pakistan is not using him well. Edited by mystery - 03 July 2008 at 11:34pm |

Best all rounder? who? Afridi? you got to be kidding me mate!! Hoow do you think he can be used BEST? He has played some260 plus one day games and still is learning how to bat!!! He has played higher in the line up as well but failed. The moment we find a decent 10 over bowler he will (should) be out of the team.
Karachi track is a disgust. But it also has to do a lot with the bowling quality. Last decade bowlers (many of them) did good here.
I also for a while thought SRL took the yesterday game lightly. They played a depleted side and the moment they started bowling they were just going through the motions. Jayawardene also said in the post match interviwe that in a way it is good that we lost so now we can play wiithout crowd pressure

i think T20 cricket have made 300+ much easier now. Its also the pitches but the Batsmen can chase now a run rate of ove 8 an over in the last 20 overs. All the teams are missing there prime Bowlers too. Malinga, Akhtar, Asif, Zaheer Khan. In this tournament there are very few bowlers left with some experience

Indeed it was lad. For all Kim's blabbing , he was a very good bat and on his day tore the best of attacks apart. 143 , I think he could be an asset to a commentary team - he's no idiot. |

well it's great to be with u all again, although i'm still in kerala, and thanks a lot kiran for u'r good wishes...
the tracks in karachi were pathetic and it really is disgusting to see a score of aond 300 being chased with such ease, talking of pakistan, i believe they need some one like yunus khan to captain them, this is a must, i loved it when he scored that century and did those push ups!!! a good lesson for the youngsters that... nasir and salman form a good opening pair and i hope they continue with them, get kamran back in, and get rid of afridi and play ajmal. once asif and gul come back and with rauf bowling well i think the balance will be back... i'm sorry zuhair, but i think tanvir is certainly a future star for pakistan, dropping him will be a mistake.. the last thing i want is for lanka to win this tourney, i hope IND beat them tomorrow, i'm dead sure about one thing though, come the champions trophy and we'll certainly see a very different pakistan side, i hink things are not as bad as they look, it's just a matter of time before they get back to the winning ways. |

What a boring series this has been. I didn't even watch one match and won't even watch the finals and am not concerned about the outcome. It is pathetic seeing 300 getting chased with ease. Yousuf pathan doesn't belong to ODI arena just yet. He has to develop his bowling a bit more and his batting also needs to be developed. He is an average 2020 player and nothing more. That said, even Irfan Pathan is doing no better with the ball. He is absolutely cannon fodder on these type of pitches. Ishant Sharma just needs a bit more experience bowling on these kind of pitches and he will do fine in my opinion.

Ajantha Mendis "the mystery spinner" has well and truly arrived... here is srilanka's answer to life after muralitharan!!!
it really is disgusting to see india perform in a final, these players need to raise to the occasion more often, uthappa doesn't belong to this stage, happy with the way ishant has bowled today, but certainly it's really disappointing to see india lose time and again in finals.

now Srilankan team posses two offies who can give any leg spinner a complex with their leg spins,very difficult to read them both they can send down 6 genuine leg spins in an over under the tag of off spinners ........pretty confusing ,any foriegn team touring srilanka beware ...and i dont think Murlitharan is going anywhere for another 6 or 7 years, cant say their batting is any comparable to their bowling though,if it wasnt for a magical knock from Jayasuriya they wouldnt have been able to set anything above 200.....Sehwag would have done the same but........i sum it up as Mendis proving to be the main difference between the teams today.

Yup,put Mendis out of the equation and India would have won.
Well done Sri Lanka for finding such a great prospect for the future.

Congrats to SL for winning Asia Cup they deserved to win. Mendis was just amazing i think Indians were trying to over attack him from the start and that was the mistake that got them out. I think Dhoni played very well even he was not picking Mendis but he played as well as anyone did in Indian lineup. I think India just need to learn one thing that hitting is not everything i think they will struggle on slow pitches. |

I think it was the inability to pick him that really got the Indians mixed up.
Though we can't go and forget about Jayasuria and Sangakkara. Jayasuria did well in the finals and a few others times but I think he was most needed to get a hundred in the finals. Sangakkara did well a time before the finals and I think it would have been a lot harder to get to the finals without Sangakkara. And Ishant Sharma did very well to upset the top order at the start of the finals. |

Had Vaas and Mendis played in that game vs India before the finals, India would not have made it to the finals for sure. But the, it was more of a tactical move I beleive, as SRL wantted to surprise Indians with thier new Mendis package

Going by that logic, India cannot win any matches against Srilanka in the future as long as Mendis and Vaas play for Srilanka.
Also Pakistan shouldn't have won the second match against India.
One thing is for sure. One can't reach finals by just preparing a unfair schedule. Edited by kirankri - 07 July 2008 at 6:31am |
