Boy, they played well, in fact really well!
Windies had won the toss and opted to bat first... First 50 of their inning's came in 74 balls, they did manage to put a decent score of 138 but, I for one seriously thought it was "TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE"
Little did I knew then; it was just a start, the real magic unfolded in second innings, when Lankans came to bat. Batsman came and went and yet barring their Skipper no one managed to surpass the magical individual score of 30.
The moment of rubbing salt on the wound came in Eighteenth over when Samuel who was about to bowl
suddenly took a halt and celebrated - AS IF THEY HAD WON!
Hindsight is the best teacher.... and one can only say in the hindsight: it was Lankans who PAID PRICE FOR THEIR OWN SINS!
Knowing weakness of Windies against spin, Lankans opted for big turner and in the end... well now it’s History!
No team, no nation would want to be on losing side, for Lankans now its Fourth time in a row.... they have been runners-up in world championship....
