This is Worldcup

What an unbelievable match!!!! 4 runs with 5 wickets in hand should make a captain sit back and have his coffee without any doubt. All the fans of the bowling team would be hoping for something great to happen such as Malinga's 4 wicket haul in straight four deliveries. That should have made Smith spill the coffee all over his trouser. What an incredible bowling!The ball was just less than an inch away from the off stump of peterson, if it wasn't for the lady luck, South Africa could have been in danger of another exit from the world cup keeping in mind they have lost the two points which they could carry from the league stage. Personally I don't rate (I know it doesn't matter) malinga as a good bowler. But his recent performances in India and the world cup make me think otherwise. His full length deliveries at such a speed are a delight to watch, of course when the batsmen struggle. Srilanka might have a chance to win this cup if at all Jayasurya finds his grip back again.

PS: For all those who say cricket is something boring, you should have been there at that moment while peterson was batting and you could sense the adrenaline pumping. Thats cricket.

And why the heck did Jayawardane didn't have a second slip ?!?! even after almost every ball passing the outside edge.

RSA seem to be trembling if the situation is too easy.

any guesses on the finalists?

my supposition: Kangaroos Vs Blackcaps.

mama leave it. few instances here and there r fine. but if u look overall, football beats cricket on purely entertainment basis.

my opinion though....
