f**k Bing, stop bowling that juicy length.

 

[aussies1st]

FFS Lee stop bowling length balls.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

You've got to try and catch that

Exactly. If he's not careful, it will be a matter of time before one of them ends up in the stands

 

[AlwaysGreen]

A six would be handy for the lankans.

 

[undertaker]

16 needed of the last over. Will it be Allan Lamb vs Bruce Reid all over again?

SL need 3 big hits this over

 

[IanG]

16 needed off the last over

Also did I hear correctly that if it's a tie then there'll definatly be a 3rd game?

 

[Jason Maher]

4 runs off the over...

 

[aussies1st]

No clutch in the fielding.

 

[The Joker]

Is Wade cross-eyed or something? He couldn't hit the stumps to save his life

 

[undertaker]

There it is!!!!!! Australia 1-0!

 

[IanG]

All over Malinga hauls out in the deep


Australia win by 15 runs

Good fight back by Sri Lanka though. Thought it was going to fizz out but that didn't happen

 

[Jason Maher]

Well that was more work than it should have been.

 

[The Joker]

All done, great effort by Sri Lanka to make it closer than it should have been.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Aussies too good but a fine match. Davey MOM. Hopefully they have a translator on standby for his acceptance speech.

 

[Horrie Is God]

Im convinced now SL will win this

Too good..

 

[undertaker]

16 needed off the last over

Also did I hear correctly that if it's a tie then there'll definatly be a 3rd game?

Correct. As it was in 1983/84, when the 2nd final between Australia and the West Indies was tied. West Indies led 1-0 going into that game, but the 3rd final was still played after the tie

 

[aussies1st]

Need to find a death bowler.

 

[Leagueaddict]

Deadly game, Sri Lanka should hold their head high. We really got a bit casual out there. Gotta say i thought we had it in the bag in the middle overs when the run rate was going thru the roof! I was wondering wtf Sri lanka was doing batting so slow but obviously i know jack shit about the Sri Lankians death hitters!!
Nice to see a close one!

 

[JW]

Too good..

Yeah, we heart Parraboy.
