Wao!! What a final you cannot ask for the better final then this but you have to say that Pakistan was always on top of Srilanka in that Final.Lords proves to be the best for Pakistan when Srilanka won the toss and elected to bat,1st we all thought that Srilanka might be the bigger in that contest best Muhammad Amir set the tune for Pakistan when he got the wicket of Tilikaratne Dilshan in that 1st miden over, then Abdul Razzaq take over from there and got the wicket of hard hitting Jahan Mubarik at in the 2nd over of the match at that time Jayasuria threat still remains the same for Pakistan .Then in the 4th over Jayasuria started to show himself by playing his aggressive shots against Abdul Razzaq but Jayasuria Storm ended very shortly when he Abdul Razzaq bowled Jayasuria. As Sanath Jayasuria leaves the groung the hopes of Pakistan raise higher and higher. Mahela Jayawardene joined the party sooner as we are aspected but Abdul Razzaq proves better then Mahela and he caught in the slips by Misbah-Ul-Haq.Sangakara was watching all that at other end and he realizes that he has to play a captain’s innings if he wants Srilanka to get around a respectable total and he started to build his innings slowly but effectively, Wickets was the biggest matter at that time Chamara Silva also got out against Umar Gul then BOOM BOOM done the magic again and bowled Srilankan 6th batsman. After 6 wickets Sangakara and Methews carry one the score and reach a incredible score of 138 which was looking impossible at one stage.Sangakara played a captains innings and score 64 notout and Methews quickfire 37 not outPakistan open the innings with Karman and Shahzaib Hassan both played strongly to provide Pakistan a solid start of 48 runs. Kamran got out by playing some big shots which was required at that time then came the BOOM BOOM Shahid Afridi who started to playing sensibaly and keep moving the score board. Sangakara tried every weapon of bowling but this time Pakistanis were determined to win the world cup after the 17 years when Imran Khan took the world cup.Shahzaib started to show his intent to Mendis but got out doing this then came former captain Shoaib Malik. Both the batsman started to took over the Srilankan bowlers and started to score freely.Afridi hits muralitharan for a huge six over mid wicket and made srilankan to think a bot then srilankan came back strongly and bowled some tight overs.After 17 overs Pakistan really needs some big hits if they want to skip the maligna over and get the victoru guess who’s done this THE BOOM BOOM Afridi again done the trick with the bat and hit udana for a hugeeeeeee six and confirms Pakistan win in that historical ground then in the next ball which was a no ball BOOM BOOM again hit this ball towards the boundry and get four runs so in last 2 overs Pakistan need only 7 runs to win the world cup BOOM BOOM take the single and give it to Malik and Malik gets a fine touch towarts the fine leg to get 4 runs then Pakistan need only 2 runs all the heartrs of Pakistani s were on a high every body was praying for Pakistan’s victory.Malik took a single a give the magic run to BOOM BOOM and malinga hits BOOM BOOM on the food with a fast fuller delivery and every single srilankan appeal at that time but at the other end BOOM BOOM was at the other end to lead Pakistan to a great victory.Players were ruuning towards the BOOM BOOM ,all the players go into the SAJDA to thanks our dear ALLAH. Younis Khan also march towards the players and jumps all over them.Wao!! What scenes at lords Pakistan taking revenge of last world cup final in great style this will gonna help great for the survival of cricket in Pakistan.\

Wao!! What a Bid Ronaldo!
Manchester United have accepted a world record bid of 80 million pounds for Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid.
United confirmed this morning they had accepted an £80million bid for the world player of the year, with a world-record deal expected to go through by June 30.
The news had been expected given Real stated last night talks were under way and now it is only a matter of finalising the player's personal terms before he completes a dream move to the Bernabeu.
Real president Florentino Perez had already vowed to do "everything possible" to sign the 24-year-old and, unlike 12 months ago, Sir Alex Ferguson did not even attempt to talk Ronaldo round, knowing the former Sporting Lisbon player had his heart set on a move.
A United statement read: "At the request of Cristiano - who has again expressed his desire to leave - and after discussion with the player's representatives, United have agreed to give Real Madrid permission to talk to the player.
"Matters are expected to be concluded by 30 June. The club will not comment until further notice."
The news is bound to be greeted with some scepticism by United fans, who have repeatedly been told no deal had been agreed for the sale of FIFA's World Player of the Year in the face of regular statements from Spain the former Sporting Lisbon star was bound for the Bernabeu.
It was even suggested Ronaldo would be due a £20million compensation fee from Real if the deal did not go through by June 30, the date United now state themselves as when they expect matters to be concluded.
As it now seems a matter of when, rather than if, a world-record transfer will be completed, Ferguson might wish to explain why he has gone back on his famous comment in December last year that he would not "sell that mob a virus".
It is the first time for many years United will have allowed a player to leave they were not happy about losing. Yet some supporters may be pleased that at least another drawn-out transfer saga, such as the one 12 months ago, is not played out in public.
And at least the money could be reinvested in a squad that almost, but not quite, proved good enough to win back-to-back Champions League trophies, in addition to a hat-trick of Premier League titles.
And, in reshaping a squad that looks almost certain to lose Carlos Tevez as well, Ferguson might be able to offer Wayne Rooney a more permanent central striking role and fulfil the promise he has shown on the international stage this season.
The name of Bayern Munich's Franck Ribery is bound to crop up as a potential replacement, although the 27-year-old seems hugely overpriced at the £40million figure being bandied about in some quarters, with Wigan's Antonio Valencia also in the frame.
Ferguson will certainly be making plans already to ensure his new faces are on board before United head to Asia for their pre-season tour five weeks from today.
Amid the frenzy over Ronaldo's impending departure, it is bound to be asked whether the current debt hanging over United of almost £700million has played any part in the decision to accept Real's huge bid.
While Ferguson has always backed the Glazer family for the support he has received, supporters will now be interested to see whether their manager is handed all the funds received from Spain, plus an annual transfer kitty said to be around £25million.
With Edwin van der Sar, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Gary Neville all reaching the end of their careers, it promises to be a far more testing summer than Ferguson might have realised.
And, for all the petulance and pouting for which Ronaldo is so famed, filling the void created by the loss of his immense talent may prove difficult.

Federer pulls out of Halle
Top seed Roger Federer has withdrawn from this week's Gerry Weber Open in Halle.
The world number two claimed his first French Open crown on Sunday after beating Robin Soderling in straight sets.
And Federer, who has won five times in Halle, claims that after such an emotional victory he is not in a position to play again so soon.
"I am sorry to announce that I have decided to withdraw from this week's Gerry Weber Open in Halle, Germany," Federer said in a message on his official website, www.rogerfederer.com.
"I sincerely apologise to the tournament organisers, my competitors, and my fans in Germany.
"I only hope they will understand that I still feel emotionally overwhelmed
and exhausted by the incredible events of the past few days.
"It is hard for me to admit, but I simply cannot imagine giving my best effort in another tournament right away and I don't want to risk injury if I am not 100% prepared. I need to rest and recuperate."
Federer was due to play Israeli qualifier Harel Levy in the first round.
In today's play, second seed Novak Djokovic bounced back from his shock third-round defeat to Philipp Kohlschreiber at Roland Garros by beating Simone Bolelli 7-5 6-2.
The Serbian converted just three of his 10 break points, but it was still more than enough to advance to the second round.
Third seed Fernando Verdasco is out, though, after he was sent packing by Philipp Petzschner. The Spaniard looked on track for a routine when he took the first set, but Petzschner fought back to progress 3-6 7-6 (7/5) 6-4.
There were no such problems for Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, the fourth seed, who defeated Fabrice Santoro 7-5 6-2.
Jurgen Melzer, seeded seven, was a 1-6 6-3 6-2 winner over Arnaud Clement.
There were also first-round wins for Olivier Rochus, who did not drop a game against Fernando Vicente, Andreas Beck, Nicolas Kiefer, Mischa Zverev and Kohlschreiber.

Roddick Flies through
Roddick breezes through
Andy Roddick moved into the third round of the AEGON Championships with a fine two-set victory over Kristof Vliegen.
The American, seeded number two in the tournament, won the first set 6-1 and despite a spirited comeback by Vliegen, Roddick clinched the match 6-4 in the second.
The world number six has suffered only three defeats at the Queen's Club since making his debut in 2001.
He won three of his titles in consecutive years between 2003-5 and collected his last crown two years ago against Nicolas Mahut.
"I feel pretty good," said Roddick. "I thought I served well, I thought I returned well at times. It was pretty solid all around.
"For the first two or three games in the second set, I don't know if I returned great but then kind of found it again.
"I was putting in returns for the last couple of games and I was making play.
"He had a pretty bad volley error in that second set to give me a break point, but if you put enough pressure on, that's what happens sometimes."
Elsewhere Juan Carlos Ferrero progressed into the second round with victory over former tournament runner-up Sebastien Grosjean - his 400th career win.
Wild card Grosjean lost the first set 6-2 and was then forced to retire with the score at 2-1 in favour of Ferrero in the second set.
It was Grosjean's first ATP tournament since October but the player's troublesome right shoulder injury forced him out of the action.
Number 13 seed Ernests Gulbis crashed out to Alberto Martin of Spain despite taking a one-set lead.
Gulbis took the first set 6-3 but the 30-year-old from Barcelona fought back to take the next two sets and defeat the Latvian in his first appearance in the tournament.
America's James Blake made it through to the third round with a straight sets success over big-serving Ivan Ljubicic.
The number six seed, whose mother Betty is English, won the first set 6-2 before finishing off the Croat's challenge with a 7-6 (4) tie-break triumph.
