Temujin Khaghan Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Crucial match - IND/SL - 96WC, 07WC, Asia cup final - today India win the toss - YIPEE! India elect to bowl - Uh-Oh SL lose three quick wickets - YIPEE! One Lankan scores a blinder of an innings - Desilva in 96WC, Tharanga 07WC, Jayasurya today Srilanka post a decent target. 240 - 260 usually One of our guys score of an super half century - YAY! - Sachin 96WC, Dravid07WC, Sehwag today Then starts struggle.

The '99 game was a MUST WIN game - India were on the brink of elimination after losing to SA and ZIM. And '03 was a crucial super six match. Link to comment
