What a PATHANic match...!!

Ohh man.. wat a match it was... 

I started watchin the match (at my friend's place) only after 5 overs of the Srilankan innings.. score was 53 for no loss then.. was a very good score indeed.. n with the form that Dilshan and Jayasuriya were in, they could easily set a target of somewhere aroung 180-190... that too with Pathan having dropped a sitter in the very first over and with some great decisions by the dumb umpires...

Then came a real stunner from Ishant.. a stunnin single handed catch to dismiss Jayasuriya.. (but the NeoCricket a**holes werent even showin the replay of the catch, an ad turned up within 2 seconds of the catch bein taken..) but the bad part was.. even as the wickets kept fallin, the runs were bein scored constantly.. thanks to the great decisions by the umpires and also the not-so-good fielding by the Indians... 

Srilankans were on somethin around 150 in 16 point somethin overs when i stopped watchin the match.. had to go for dinner and then rush home... but unfortunately didnt get to watch the innings completely.. then again after sometime, jus got to see that Indians were on 59/2 in 6 overs after havin lost the openers jus 2 overs into the innings... stopped watchin there as i had some work... 

This mornin, the first thing i did was to watch the highlights on the tv.. i had no idea who won the match n i didnt even wanna know the same frm the newspaper or news channels.. jus wanted to watch the highlights... i wasnt expectin wat i saw.. 5 wickets fell for jus 34 runs.. Yuvi, Raina, Dhoni, Rohit and Jadeja..!!! all of them for jus 34 runs.. i never really thought there were any chances left for India to win the match.. havin required to score 62 frm some 34 balls wen the Pathan brothers were on the crease, i thought India would end up somewhere around 150-160.. 

But the Pathan brothers were just amazing.. brilliant.. watever.. 17 runs frm Bandara's over made me think there were still some chances left for us... runs kept comin quite easily after that.. with Fernando givin away extras n juicy deliveries, there was no stoppin Yusuf n Irfan.. the last winnin six was the best and stylish way to win the match... it was jus the brothers' day indeed... n afterall, we r the world champs..!!
