My prediction : India Bats first and SL is going to chase down the target easily.. Sangakara wins the World Cup for his team by hitting six...  Cheesy

Back then it was entirely possible. Sri Lanka was a really good team, capable of giving strong competition to big 3 teams and India had a weak bowling attack (especially in the pace bowling department). And back then, Virat Kohli had just started his career, and was being overshadowed by heavyweights such as Gautham Gambhir, Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag.

Haha, nice

Srilanka was a good team back then. They had good bowlers and good batting line up and it was really possible for them to beat India. History cannot be changed, India won that match comfortably.

I guess its league match but yeah i was pointing out to WC Final...

Good Ol days...

Sadly current Sri lankans team is doomed and seems minnow whenever they play against the India. They do have some good young blood who can bring srilankan team back to life so there is still some hope left for them.

I just checked cricinfo and they are showing Live India Vs Pakistan Match ?  How is that possible ?
They are running a program called retro live from what i understand as i have seen many matches replicating old matches and copy pasting the old commentary with a live score card Cheesy, since there are no new contents they need to come up with something to make things interesting for the website so that they will have visitors and thereby have the revenue through advertisement.

Folks.. it is not just Cricinfo, which is doing these "RetroLive" and "Virtual Reality" matches. A few days back, another website was showing the virtual match between the PSL finalists. I don't blame them. There is not a single cricket match ongoing at any part of the globe. On the other hand, football fans have the option to watch the Belarussian Premier League. Too bad that cricket is not a popular sport in Belarus.  Angry

I think ECB uploaded 2015 Ashes series into Youtube and few sport channels were showing IPL (MI vs CSK) and Test match (PAK vs IND).

World Cup Matches those played in March and April as they are celebrating for sack fo this all Locked Down hopefully in next few days we will have Final of Word Cup 2011.

It is really bizarre and people are loosing their minds confide to their homes for weeks without any booze or cigars and i will not be surprised if some bookies open up a betting line  Cheesy.

Peoples are frustrated with this all locked down so they want to do something interesting
Nothing interesting going on, things are getting worse it is frightening to look at the news because the death toll keeps on increasing.

Mental illness is another issue of quarantine.
Even the sane will loose their minds in these situation, the government should open up wine shops and provide home delivery during quarantine so that people will stay at home rather than torturing them Grin. The suicide rate is on the high because of withdrawal symptoms of alcohol and already two took their life in Kerala, German minister Thomas Schaefer took his life because of the pressure and many more bad news to come.

@JSRAW first of all that’s not possible unless the person has never watched cricket, and is dealing with a local bookie who’s clever enough to trick him into betting in this match. @BitSat19 this is not a live match mate it’s an old match so why would people bet on this when they already know how it ended?.

It was joke... and i have utmost respect for dull divines  Smiley.

Having said that we should never underestimate power of dump peoples, they can surprise us anytime.  Grin

Dear @JSRAW already saying its jok but I am saying on other side as we have many desprate punters they are playing games on balls because many have no information what happen on every ball so they are enjoying what will happen in this overs 3 or 5 ball like these games for fun and increase of profit.

Sideeffects of locked down coming out very quickly  Cheesy Grin

Edit: This match was played nine years back on this day so just because of this they are doing this all today.

Not only cricinfo, but star sports was playing this full match (not highlights) on their channel.

Due to this lockdown, many people may lose their jobs like espncricinfo commentators who did the written commentary on all the  live matches, have nothing to do these days (except today  Wink )

Lol

Why add Live and mislead the viewers? Struggling to survive I guess that is why they are using such tactics to lure viewers and calm down the advertiser.

So it means there will be more of such matches ? I do not find them interesting. If anyone want to watch the match, the could better watch the highlights why waste time on watching each and every ball which is already been played. Soon people will be fed up of these old matches, as there is no comparison for the live matches.
Yes there will be more matches like that, the first match they did was the Benson & Hedges World Cup at Melbourne, Mar 25 1992 between England and Pakistan and the second match was 2011 World Cup 2nd SF between India and Pakistan, there is no clarity on what match they will be doing next but they seems to involve major matches during World Cup tournaments.

Even when i saw the first retro match showing as live i was thinking that they are playing the veteran matches during the time of virus scare and when i saw the scoreboard then i understood that they are just replicating the old matches and copy pasting the old matches as live  Cheesy.
