I am gutted. Will post about the loss when I get over it.
But for now, I’ll say this:
- I love you West Indies
- I love you Darren Sammy
- I love you Chris Gayle
- I love you, I love you, I love you, cause no team has made me smile after a loss. You won with style and grace.

BIG MATCH IN 5 HOURS.
I get way too crazed and emotional on game days. Could use a Xanax.

The Final Moments: The last delivery and ensuing celebration of the Sri Lankan team upon their Semi-Final win against worthy opponents Pakistan last night. That last one of Sanga hugging Mahela is probably my favourite.

On a more serious note, Mohammad Hafeez is a class act.

OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR MAHELEEZUS. Please bless us with another victory on Sunday and I will follow you to the ends of the earth.
In honour of Sri Lanka’s semi-final against Pakistan today (with the use of my new found gif-ing skills), here is Sangakkara’s beautiful face:
Ugh, right in the ovaries. Anyway, happy cricket-watching SL/Pakistan fans. Oh and for those that are curious, this gif was made from this lovely video about the time he sledged Shaun Pollock.
Just learned how to make gifs. Here is the first:
For those of you that don’t know, this handsome diva devil is cricketer Kevin Pietersen. Don’t ask me why him saying ‘That’s special’ is my first gif, I just pulled it from an old episode of ‘The Chuck Fleetwood-Smiths’ I had in my podcasts folder. Anyhow, the important thing is that now that I’ve learned to make gifs, I can properly immortalize the perfection that is Sam Collins of The Two Chucks in gif format. Ya-hes.

^ Actually how I feel every time this beast does warm-ups on the pitch. In other news, after that game, my blood pressure is through the roof.
This…bless this sport! A gentlemen’s game that’s too good for the Olympics!
West Indian comments on Cricinfo…best!
Cricket > All other sports.
this tickled me
It’s crazy how many moments like this (from any cricket team) I’ve enjoyed enough to let out a squeal.
