India the first Twenty20 World Champions
What a match it was. It did go down to the wire. But in the end it was India who made their way through to win the first Twenty20 World Cup. The Pakistanis were off to a good start chasing 157 but the run out of Imran Nazir slowed down the proceedings. Lot of singles [...]
Twenty20 World Cup round-up
What a tournament we had so far. It had everything in it. When Gayle thrashed a century where he hit 10 sixes in the opening game against South Africa, I felt West Indies had a chance. But when South Africa beat them in that match the thought changed. Even worse Bangladesh got through to Super [...]
Collingwood Stunner
Last night I was watching the recorded highlights of the match played against England and West Indies in the Super8 stage of the World Cup. For some reason I didn't watch it LIVE on that day it was played. One highlight of that match was the brilliant catch that was taken by Paul Collingwood to [...]
Australia did it again
Australia have become the World Champions third time in a row after beating Sri Lanka in the Final of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2007 which was played at the Kensington Oval, Barbados. After the rain delay the game was restricted to 38 overs. Australia won the toss and decided to bat first. Ruthless Adam [...]
Aussies storm in
Without any surprises Aussies have made their way into the Finals beating South Africa comprehensively in the Semi Final match, yesterday. Australian bowlers demolished the South African batting order with some tight bowling. So now it all comes to that grand Final where Australia and Sri Lanka will meet each other to battle for the [...]
Sri Lanka power into the Finals
Sri Lanka have powered their way into the Finals of the ICC World Cup 2007 after beating New Zealand comprehensively in the Semi Finals, yesterday. Captain Mahela Jayawardena's century and Murali's 4 wickets were the highlights of the match. Mahela's innings was a well paced one. He initially played very defensively chipping in with ones [...]
Wrapping up
The match played yesterday against England and West Indies in the Super 8 stage of the World Cup 2007 reminded me of the match played against these two during the Champions Trophy. I even blogged about that match with the title "Fireworks, too late" and yesterday it was the same case. England's hopes of qualifying [...]
Down to four
As days pass by we are getting closer to witness the Grand Final of the ICC World Cup 2007 which will be played on the 28th of April 2007 at Kensington Oval, Barbados. After my last post I managed to get quality pictures of Channel Eye using a booster. So I was able to capture [...]
Heat is on..
The battle for the ultimate prize has begun. All 16 teams have one goal of winning the ICC World Cup 2007. Few matches have been played and I'm closely keeping in track of the match between England and New Zealand. At this time of writing England are 117/3 in 30.4 overs. Kevin Pieterson just scored [...]
Fireworks, too late
At the beginning of the Champions Trophy Sri Lankan team was considered hot favorites to win the tournament considering their late ODI form after beating England 5-0 during the England tour. As expected the Lankans beat Zimbababwe and Bangladesh in high scoring games in the preliminary round. Also they beat West Indies after dismissing them [...]
