ICC Cricket World Cup 2007: Decisive Dismissal of New Zealand
Today has been another one of those good and bad days for me, and had a rough experience involving the Colombo Hilton which I will be taking up with the General Manager in the morning.
This has by far been the most intense and enjoyable match in the cricket World Cup 2007 series so far. A match-winning 100 off 104 balls by our captain Mahela put a large score on the board and even though New Zealand built up a good foundation early on [on par or better], they lost around five wickets in a couple overs…and were 180ish for 9 wickets….who drew the game out a bit, but were cleaned up pretty nicely.
Dilhara Fernando’s performance was terrible today - 20 runs in one over, quite shocking! I was quite annoyed at that Michael Atherton, he even asked Murali if he thought that he caught the ball properly - c’mon, what is he expecting the poor guy to say? We’ve all seen the replay, he caught it - there is room for doubt - but the umpire trumps all. Likewise there were a couple more bad umpiring decisions in this game - but my favourite match so far.
The 2nd Semi-Final of Australia vs. South Africa will be held in St. Lucia tomorrow and will start at the usual 13:30 UTC/14:30 BST/19:00 LK, while the finals will be on Saturday the 28th in Barbados….I say that it will be Sri Lanka vs. Australia =)
