"Sri Lanka tank", Waqar and Rameez wank

Waqar Younis, 24, and Rameez Raja, 31, have said that Sri Lanka tanked in their match against India to ensure Pakistan did not make the final.

Some unnamed sources were heard to say, that they had been on the cough medicine all night and were remembering games from the mid 90's that they played in.

Sri Lanka wouldn’t be the first team to change results in a tournament by dodgy play, New Zealand and Australia have done this beautifully before.

The only reason I could see they would do this is if they though India would be easier to beat in the final.

That doesn’t really stack up as India are by far the better team, and Sri Lanka had already smoked Pakistan in this tournament.

Rameez said “So many batsmen got starts, but no one really carried on to play a big innings.” I looked up the game, yeah a lot of batsman got starts, 3 of them made half centuries,. I think Rameez you will find that is the case in 9 out of 10 one day international matches.

And they made 308, who tanks and makes 308.

Seriously.

No really, 300 runs, what sort of tanking is that, 150 runs is tanking, 220 is suspicious, but 300, what if your bowlers take 4 early wickets, tank over.

Rameez had further “Sanath Jayasuriya in particular looked a little bored at the crease, when he was looking good he threw away his wicket.” 43 off 37, how bored he must have been. Perhaps he could hear your commentary…

Younis, another astute commentator had this, “I haven't seen Mahela Jayawardene really being proactive in Thursdy's game. He is really on his heels .the manoeuvring of the bowlers I thought was below par - He himself is always on his toes going to the bowlers.” The dude is a probotic captain Waqar, proactive isn’t his programming.

In India’s reply 3 batsman made half centuries, and then they just threw their starts away.

But they looked far less bored I am sure.

Fancy Pakistani players making assumptions about Sri Lankan’s throwing games.

Then again, if any cricketers are going to know about match fixing, it would be Pakistan players.

Waqar, how was that car you got in ’94?

Your mate Javed wanted to know.
