Nov 25, 2011 - Even though Srilanka lost the worldcup ... i must say is was an brilliant effort from the amazing srilankan team ...especially by Mahela Jayawardene finest Century on the very high pressure match .... his century was one of the finest which remembers 1996 world cup finals in Lahore where Aravinda De Silva dounted an century vs the mighty Australians !.

Apr 4, 2011 - glad to see this video. Murali you are the greatest offspinner in the history of the game. Thanks for entertaining us for a decade. Lankans played a great match at Mumbai unfortunately it was not your day. Anyway the Asian teams thrashed biggies like South Africa and Australia. I'm so happy about that too. Greetings from India
