Title: Cricket World Cup Final
Post by: The Red Baron on April 02, 2011, 09:24:21 am
Played at the wonderfully named \"w**khede Stadium!\"

Needless to say, there were some shenanigans at the toss!

\"Sri Lanka skipper Kumar Sangakkara won the toss and elected to bat first in ideal conditions in the World Cup final against India on Saturday.

There was confusion over the coin toss, with match referee Jeff Crowe and neither captain hearing the original call. So it was tossed again, and Sangakkara called correctly.\"

It is a good contest this.  India pinned down the Sri Lankan batsmen in the opening 20 or so overs, but they've stepped on the gas a bit now and should post a competetive target when one looked a million miles away at one point.

Cracking Batting powerplay from Sri Lanka, if Malinga and the 2 spinners can get bowling well and get the honorary Yorkshireman Tendulkar out early, they`ve every chance!

Apparently the official motto of the Stadium Management Company is \"A w**khede helps you work, rest and play.\"
