HB'r matha kharap hoye gese. Final bole Thursday te.

CM dekhle thread lukay falabe

But whatever it is...WISHING MY FAVORITE TEAM ALL THE BEST...go Sri Lanka go...ala pala pandeyyyy hula hola hondeyyy...pela mola mandayyyy...

[AsifTheManRahman]

So now that my first, second and third teams are out of the world cup, and the finals are 90% fixed (by fate, not by bookies), I'm lacking motivation to watch this game. Then again, it's the world cup finals, you can't miss it.

[al Furqaan]

have no desire to watch it...

rooting for OZ just to see a 3-peat...but an SL win would also be nice...i just don't like supporting other subcontinent teams except pak (on occaision).

what conflicting emotions!!!!!!

[Kabir]

ATMR and al Furqaan: time to get a girl friend. That'll make your lives much more lively...right now both of you are vegetables :p

[Rumz_01]

Sri Lanka Gonna Win!
Malinga Gonna Bowl Them All Out Lol!

No Bangladesh no South Africa moja ta nosto hoe gelo. WC winner e akta change khub dorkar.

[BangladeshCricket]

100% sure that Aussie will win (based on their WC performance)
I will change my name if something else happens. Aussies are just too good and balanced team.

ALA = AminoLevulinic Acid (ALA) is a kind of amino acid found naturally in organisms.
PALA = PALA is an international academic association for those who work in stylistics, poetics, and associated fields of language and linguistics
Pandey=Its a countdown show with Mr and Mrs. Pandey from Kareena Kareena

Hula= Hula is a traditional Hawaiian dance well-known for its gracefulness and expressiveness, which you may have seen highlighted recently in Lilo and Stitch.
Hola=It means “hello” in Spanish
Hondey= Its a place in Niger.

Pela=It is a test to determine the proficiency in English, at an agreed minimum level.
Mola=A textile made by sewing layers of colored cloth together to form patterns.
Manday= I think its Monday

I think what Bhaigna meant is:

Its Friday, already the countdown and 'chilla -pilli' started ... amino acid running through the viens... fills like dancing with Kareena Kapor....now all those bombardment of all bold prediction will start, fans will start arguing with each other will start compaining about their opponent's lack of stylistics and poetics expression. Then during the match Mahela and Murali will start their Hula dance...... and then just after the game is over....the winner will celebrate and say "Hello' and on the other side the looser will hide in Niger in shame. But one thing is for sure: the winning captain have to be very proficient in English, on the other hand the loosing team will have a national flag looks like a textile made by sewing layers of colored cloth together to form patterns. And from Manday, It's the 1st day to talk about WC2011.

Are you sure game starts at 13:30 GMT?

Both semis started an hour latter.

[Nocturnal]

Hope SL will win. Good luck SL team.

[Sovik]

damn it. aussies are gonna win this final. i will hate to see that

[ialbd]

oh khela ajke chhilona???

bhablam jhamela shesh hoise, ekhon dekhi.....

[OZGOD]

I think this will be a very close match - Tom Moody is a good coach and he will have primed SL to peak for this tournament. These two have clearly been the two most consistent teams in the WC.

I suppose we're the favourites - but that doesn't mean anything. Past form doesn't count for anything anymore either. It will come down to who plays better on the day, over the 100 overs.

Next match: Final: Australia v Sri Lanka at Bridgetown - Apr 28, 2007
Match scheduled to begin at 09:30 local time (13:30 GMT)

All matches in the tournament proper start at 0930 local time (1330GMT except Jamaica which is 1430 GMT). - CricInfo


Now if you ask me if I'm sure the match will start on time, and if Manchester United will win the treble, I shall look into my crystal ball.

no one is appreciating this classic by fazal bhai. Brilliant..

[Farhad]

Good Work on the Template HB The only way this tournament can be salvaged is an extremely EXTREMELY close match... Id love to see something like the Javed Miandad six off the last ball...Theres a 0.0001% chance of that happening though. Lets hope for a close match irrespective of who lifts the cup.

[Russell2k7]

Lol I can guarantee that We will see Mike Hussey in action tomorrow.

[Ganguly da]

i hope it is a repeat of 96 WC, SL will dominate OZs...........last match SL played, they didn't play 3 of their best bowlers. This tactic might go in favor of SL

[Buddhika]

i hope we can win it and it will be a repeat.

but i wouldn't be sad if we don't cuz we have done so much t o come to this place when everyone else picked other teams, india, pakistan etc... no one tought we could and we did. i'm proud of sri lankan and sri lanka cricket. and how they run it recently.

tom moody awsome coach gonan miss him

Yep! 100% agreed.

[Imteaz]

Best of Luck to Both Australia and Srilanka.

An australian win would make cricket dull and boring.
