The Mendises script big win for Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka 182 for 4 (Sangakkara 44, Mendis 43*) beat Zimbabwe 100 (Masakadza 20, Ajantha 6-8, Jeevan 3-24) by 82 runs
Scorecard and ball-by-ball details
Ajantha Mendis marked his return to Sri Lanka's national side by achieving the best figures in T20 internationals. He puzzled and prised out the Zimbabwe batsmen to contribute to a comprehensive victory in the tournament opener.
After Sri Lanka posted an imposing total, Ajantha tore through Zimbabwe. He took three wickets in his first spell to kill off any thoughts of a chase and returned to take three more to end Zimbabwe's limp challenge. Mendis served up deliveries that held their line, those that turned in, the carrom ball and the googly from the back of the hand, leaving Zimbabwe with a sour taste in their mouths and befuddlement in their minds.
Another Mendis, Jeevan, too was major weapon in the home side's armoury. He starred in a 94-run fourth-wicket stand with Kumar Sangakkara and took three wickets. Together, the two Mendises dominated an overawed and outplayed Zimbabwe.
Despite not bowling badly, a shoddy showing in the field and being completely at sea with the bat left Zimbabwe looking like the underdogs they were labelled as. They conceded heavily in the second half of the Sri Lankan innings when Sangakkara and Jeevan asserted their authority over an attack whose spinners held their own while the seamers fell apart.
Kyle Jarvis found swing and bowled an impressive two-over spell upfront, after he loosened up with a full-toss. He should have had an early wicket, too. Debutant Dilshan Munaweera hoicked a delivery to midwicket and Malcolm Waller could only grasp humid air. Jarvis' opening partner, Brian Vitori, suffered the same fate. Tillakaratne Dilshan got a leading edge over Brendan Taylor's head and even though the wicketkeeper moved quickly, he could not get to it in time to take the catch.
Sri Lanka's opening pair flirted with danger twice more in their 54-run stand. Dilshan escaped a run-out when he stole a single to point and Munaweera was dropped a second time by Waller. Along with risk, came reward. Munaweera went on to glance Mpofu's low full-toss to the boundary after Dilshan brought out his scoop to make things worse for the bowler.
Luck finally went Zimbabwe's way in the seventh over when Munaweera was run out, after he dropped his bat in search of a run that was not there. As luck came, it went. Graeme Cremer had Mahela Jayawardene given out lbw of a back-foot no-ball. But, two balls later, Dilshan tried to cut Cremer and was caught behind.
Zimbabwe hauled Sri Lanka in temporarily. The hosts went 27 deliveries without scoring a boundary but Zimbabwe could not build on the pressure they created. Jeevan, who was moved up the order, broke the boundary drought when he drove down the ground off Mpofu, who was too slow to get down in his follow-through. The ball sliced between the long-on and long-off who both tried but failed to cut it off and Zimbabwe's morale had been dented. Jeevan picked Cremer better than his predecessors and hit him for back-to-back fours to bring up the Sri Lankan 100. He also sunk his teeth into Elton Chigumbura who bowled a poor over, giving away the first six of the match.
Zimbabwe unravelled in the last quarter while Sangakkara kept a cool head and collected runs in twos and threes, along with a gorgeous drive over point, which went for four. Their lapses would cost them, as they faced a tall target and Ajantha ensured they were never in a position to reach it.
Hamilton Masakadza and Vusi Sibanda put on 37 for the first wicket, with Masakadza even having the gumption to take on Lasith Malinga. When Ajantha came on in the seventh over, he ended Zimbabwe's hopes of running their own race of achieving a decent score or ending the match without being bowled out.
A magic box of tricks came from Ajantha's hands: the ball that held its line to bowl Sibanda, the carrom ball that had Brendan Taylor stumped and the googly to bowl Masakadza. With their top three dismissed, Zimbabwe needed fighters but Craig Ervine and Waller succumbed to Jeevan's googly.
After 10 overs, Zimbabwe were 59 for 5 and Ajantha could return to play some more. Zimbabwe reached three-figures but no more, as Mpofu spooned an easy catch to mid-off off Malinga to end the game.

I feel very proud whenever a fan of the "worlds best team"(WBT) calls our Sri Lankan team minnows for few reasons.
once these minnows dismissed the WBT for a pedestrian 54. once the worlds best odi bowling figures 7/30 was against the WBT by a bowler from the Minnows.
minnows have won a world cup. A batsmen from minnows hit 189 in an ODI and 340 in a test. worlds highest score in a test innings 952 is by minnows against the WBT minnows has the bowler with most number of wickets in tests and ODIs. minnows has the highest totals in every format of the game. we minnows are the only team so far to have two t20 centurians. we have the best bowling figures in ODIs and T20s.
we have a bowler who has 3 hattricks including the only double hattrick. he is also the only bowler to have two worldcup hattricks and there are more and more to say.
so don't get annoyed when someone call us minnows. because we have achieved a lot in a very small time and if they still wanna call us minnows let them
Htc-Android on September 20, 2012, 16:10 GMT
@Narbavi. fastest indian not fastest bowler to take 50 wickets in test. do you know something mendis was the fastest bowler to 50 wickets in ODIs.
Sinhaya on September 20, 2012, 15:58 GMT
@golgoal, we won the Bangladesh tri series in early 2010! Where were you then? Also we won the Zimbabwe tri series in June 2010 and the Dambulla tri series in August 2010. We have achieved plenty of incredible results and that was why we won the Asia Cup in 2008. What did Bangladesh do in the 2007 50 over world cup???
Narbavi on September 20, 2012, 12:03 GMT
@gabrialgihan: i never rated bhajji higher than murali, and its so funny that u guys think that if mendis can pick 6 against aussies in a t20 then he is a better bowler than a guy who has been the fastest indian to pick up 50 test wickets!! That shows it!!
Narbavi on September 20, 2012, 11:50 GMT
@Charith De Alwis: Just think if Afghanistan came so close to beating us then surely if your team had played them surely lanka would have lost, how?? Because we all know lanka has been losing to india all the time!!

Indian fans and cricketers arrogance... What ever said and done abt the SL team we beat Zimbabwe with a 80 odd run lead, while India couldnt even beat Afganisthan with a decent margin. This a minnow team, and the high and mighty world cup winning indians got a shock of their life from the Afgans... Do not diss SL's performance cos we did well... Post all the crap you guys have to say on articles about your team... And all the Indian Commentrators and fans can belittle Ajantha's awesome bowling and the record, but for all SL fans and the rest of the world that was a truly great performance, regardless which ever team they played against... Well done Lions, go full steam ahead, we are with you...

Plz feed us the mystery bowler.We will make him out of SL team for another year. But i believe this is partiality.Why Mendis is not getting the same treatment as Malinga.
We have destroyed him also still He is in team.So i believe this time even though We destroy the mystery spinner you will not be out of team as SL dont have good replaements.And also SL understand the fact that in Cricket India is far ahead of them.

SL fans are celebrating like they won a world cup.Plz understand that winning against ZIM will not make you better team.I still believe ZIM is as strong as SL and Just one off day made them fail.

@Nothingness You lankan guys say such big things man, but when it comes to showing results you are ZERO. Mahle and Sanga are only shown holding tea cups, and no other cups. These days you guys aren't even able to win in Bangladesh.
EmperorDravid on September 19, 2012, 22:53 GMT
I am still waiting for an answer from the Sl fans. But I know they can't answer because they are nothing in front of India.
gabrialgihan on September 19, 2012, 20:00 GMT
@Narbavi dude do you even know what you are talking?you asked what mendis has done???he has taken 6 wickets against your so called india...And now you talk about y he has been out of cricket???he didnt play the finals because we had the great murali playing in that game,and of course Mndis is way better than ravichandran ashwin who is highly overrated..i still remember how you indians were talking about Harbhajan sing breaking muralis record when he reached 400 test wickets.what happened to him?he prob need another three life's to become a murali and same apply to your ashwin too...
gabrialgihan on September 19, 2012, 19:48 GMT
@ Super_Cricketer yep it was 6 for 13 against india.......
Nothingness on September 19, 2012, 17:52 GMT
@ Yogesh Rajput;
The first upset rather came in the 3rd game of the series when India won a very hard fought game against Afghanistan.....Afghanistan were always the favorites; if only they had held on to their chances, everything would have been as expected then.
Super_Cricketer on September 19, 2012, 16:25 GMT
@gabrialgihan, his previous best(6/16) was against Australia not against India.

Narbavi on September 19, 2012, 12:45 GMT
@gabrialgihan: in that case where was he these many days?? why did lanka not play him against us in the world cup final?? i wil tell you why, he was damn good when he came in, but we worked him out later bringing his odi and test career to a halt, for now he has to be content with t20's
FLIPPER_99 on September 19, 2012, 11:28 GMT
india has a brilliant batting lineup barring rohit who acts as the 12th man of the opposition team giving them a free wicket but indian bowlers are worse than the club bowlers of zimbabwe. zaheer khan looks like least motivated and looks as fragile as glass, yadav is a packet of runs, balaji is slower than a spinner and ashwin learned his tricks from A.mendis when he toured India but still cant bowl like that great man and its pathetic to even speak about the rest.. India would be blown away in the face of greater teams
FLIPPER_99 on September 19, 2012, 11:18 GMT
lol lot of indians think that mendis's world record match figures is useless cause it was against Zimbabwe well all teams have played against associate teams one time or another but still indians can barely contain teams forget about wickets & records.. & you want mendis to purposely bowl bad against Zimbabwe just because its lower ranked?
harshini1980 on September 19, 2012, 10:40 GMT
India-The-ultimate-winner, But, Pakistani's dont think like that.
gabrialgihan on September 19, 2012, 10:38 GMT
@Narbavi you are spot on mendis allways peforms against minnows and helpless teams... and ya his previous best was 6 for 16 against india...
sidh78 on September 19, 2012, 10:30 GMT
why sl fans call there batsman STREET LAVELS.when they called?see sl fans called indian bowler club lavels then what you called the batsmans which are not performing against club lavel bowler out for 120 in warmup game and 5-1 lost in their home flat pitches.

SL fans - India are the current World ODI champions, current U-19 champions, have been the no.1 test side till recently and have already won the T20 world cup. What have you won? Answers on a postcard please.
yorkslanka on September 19, 2012, 8:18 GMT
@srinideva- so wont you be celebrating if you beat Afghanistan today?Or are you one of those part time indian fans who is not interested about cricket when your team is not winning?all a team can do is win against whoever they are facing and if you dont think it was a convincing win then maybe you need to learn a bit more about cricket..
Pappu_bhai on September 19, 2012, 6:58 GMT
KevinSL: So well done.World cup started with a mirracle.Well done SL Lions. Hope We see more from you.As We need to see strong games like this which pleases the fans.
srinideva on September 19, 2012, 6:46 GMT
Zim needs to b depromoted for their poor display against a equal poor team. on any day, ireland is the best compare to this zim...atleast they have the players to play a competitive cricket..
Hareendra on September 19, 2012, 6:44 GMT
Thirimanne was listed to come in at No 8 in the batting lineup. What's the point of playing a full time batsman at No 8? What happened to the SLPL Player of the Series, Shaminda Eranga? I think there should be a rethink on what the best combination should be in this ultra short format.
India-The-ultimate-winner on September 19, 2012, 6:39 GMT
I wish to see the semi final line up as India VS Bangladesh & Pakistan Vs Afghanistan......bcoz all of us are brothers....
bravetigersmustwin on September 19, 2012, 6:38 GMT
yeah srilankan are too good when the opposition is weak and they make full use of it. Create amazing records.... But when the opposition is strong they meakly surrender and lay down ... especially to india... they accept that they are toothless lions against mighty India ... and indians are really bored of beating these toothless lions...
KEVINSL on September 19, 2012, 6:37 GMT
Today is a big match . Afgan vs India.. its interesting to see Indian bowlers bowl full tosses at the death stage of the innings. because no instance found from the other teams could do that. its reasonable to teach how to bowl full tosses at the end of the innings. probably after loose to England, these club bowlers can do this job for cricket world.
on September 19, 2012, 6:35 GMT
@Narbavi dude if srilanka are minnows, just imagine what india is? they are icc level 5 associates, been ranked 7th or something, way below srilanka lmao
on September 19, 2012, 6:34 GMT
A magnificent start of SlL team. Once again Ajantha Mendis proved his talents. Ajantha made him very confident which should reflect throughout the tournament. Sanga's usual steadyness showed lots of expectaions. Jeevantha from another corner showed his marvaleous talents. It's indeed a teamwork. Go guys go...
srinideva on September 19, 2012, 6:28 GMT
@lion69sl, I can`t control my laughing. pls stop this ... dreames forever guys...go meow go..
srinideva on September 19, 2012, 6:22 GMT
@yorkslanka , oh yeah,you have to proud of yourself.. next time try to play with SL A team so that you can score 300 runs and also bowlers like a mendis can able to take all wickts for 2 runs..ROFL
yorkslanka on September 19, 2012, 6:05 GMT
@cpt.meanster- we are celebrating because a) it was a win, irrespective of the opposition, a win is a win, b) we scored our highest innings score in T20 at this ground=improvement and c) Ajantha Mendis has the best T20 international bolwing figures now...simple...
siri12345 on September 19, 2012, 5:53 GMT
good start guys but i think we should play another bowler instead of thirimanne bacause i think we dont need 8 batsman for a 20 over game.so i think we should replace thirimanne with dhananjaya against south africa.
India-The-ultimate-winner on September 19, 2012, 5:49 GMT
Congrats Srilanka.... u done wat u deserve.... now ur T20 WC is over as u r going to loose all the upcoming matches....
Nehans on September 19, 2012, 5:39 GMT
too early to comment but by seeing the bowling performance of the opening matches and warm up matches it seems that the pitches are too spinner friendly if this is the case than again we see all three of the sub continent team making it to semi finals....and little chance for Australia, England or Newzealand

completely agree tatail, should have been a big match to start it of, perhaps two test nation
colombo_SL on September 19, 2012, 5:25 GMT
I think, Kumar Sangakkara should play the anchor role in this tournament. If he can retain one end steady, others can rotate their bats & guide the ball all over the park. That would be a key for Sri Lankan success. Sangaa played only a dot ball yesterday & rotated the strike so cleverly.
srinideva on September 19, 2012, 5:23 GMT
It was bore game of this decade. better to gave a oppurtunity to a ireland vs australia. atleast they have the fighting spirit compare to this minnow teams. Now SL will live with this remarkable victory for a decade. bravo guys.. Really boring guys..

@tatail - its not Srilanka who make the fixtures. Blame to ICC.

Jeevan Mandis Deserve man of the match.
colombo_SL on September 19, 2012, 5:03 GMT
My opinion is Thisara perera should be given opportunity to play between 15-20 overs. It is his duty to convert the solid foundation given by top order to a commanding total. It is better if he can bat 20 balls at least per match. But the foundation should be laid down by the top order batsman, because little mistake can lead to a severe defeat. Yesterday's innings by Kumar Sangakkara & Jeewn were fantastic. But i feel, Thisara should be given opportunity to play mor balls than that.
colombo_SL on September 19, 2012, 4:58 GMT
@Harshani Pereira; I feel munaweera's selection is ok. We know chandi is good player. But the quick & steady start given by Dilshan & Munaweera help us lot to post a big total. My opinion is Munaweera should take lessons from others, how to convert good starts into big fifties. Then he may be more valuable asset.
lion69sl on September 19, 2012, 4:38 GMT
hey cricket lovers,you didnt see malinga's toe crushing yokers yet.u didnt see mahela's reverse pull yet,u ddnt see right hand version of sanath jayasooriya,dilshan munaweera fire yet,u didnt see worl's best finisher mathews in action yet.u didnt see pereras all round skills yet,bashing n wicket taking,u didnt see akila dahananjaya's mystery yet.lot to come guys.keep waiting.they are coming.u only see classic sanga,mendises magic n dilscoop..
kunalx on September 19, 2012, 4:23 GMT
SL and SA must be very lucky to have Zim as their group mate. The weakest and worst team in this WC. Looks like by mistake they have reached here to play cricket, no commitment at all. Lets see how SL performs against SA.

on September 19, 2012, 3:59 GMT
Bangladesh fan here... Love Ajantha Mendis as he is genius, SL really knows to nurture talent and grow them. They know how to appreciate individuality and grow their grown personality unlike other South Asian country where everybody wannabe somebody. Murali, Ajantha and other unorthodox bowlers were not a fluke. SL has really good system
MotherLanka on September 19, 2012, 3:58 GMT
@Kishore Selvanathan: You will see the worst ever t20 today btw your over-rated india vs better Afghan team.

congrats to SL brothers....but if Zimb team been a good fielding match can be a interesting.......but SL alarmed for other teams too.

WE LOVE INDIA. Go & show your colors today. WE, as Sri Lankans, never celebrate your defeat. Your win is ours toooo. You are our neighbor forever. You are one of the favourites for this cup. I am eagerly waiting for a big 80+ from Virender Shewag. Go India goooo! We love to see you remain in this competition untill end.

@cool2cool & @Narbavi: I really agreed with both of you. It is the big upset of the tournament. But it is not for the entire world. Only for few people including both of you. It is a big upset for you who were eagerly waiting our defeat. HOPE YOU WERE SLEEPLESS last night owing to jealousy (By the way we had a wonderful sleep). We are not going lost our words to show the quality of our win. Our players has done it more than enough. I'm happy because of victory.

@narbavi can you explain me what is an upset means. it seams like you dont know the meaning of that word. based on your comment wat ur telling is "Zim is better than SL". it just makes no sense. can you please explain?
Htc-Android on September 19, 2012, 3:16 GMT
@Narbavi.please dont post any rubbish comments.on what basis are you telling me mendis took wickets hapless teams. last year he took 6 wickets against Aus in a t20 game. took 6 wickets agains your indian team and took 26 wickets against your team in a test series. in his odi career he 28 wickets at average of 25 against india. so are you telling me india is a hapless team? cricinfo please publish.
Mr.Khb on September 19, 2012, 3:14 GMT
Its good to see Ajantha Mendis back in action. He was superb out there and Zimbabwe had no clue about his bowling. Wish he will do the same against the big teams too. And that Sri Lankan team is the perfect team to select. Jeevan Mendis prooved why he deserves to be in the team. The only thing Sri Lanka need is to prevent their simple mistakes.
tatail on September 19, 2012, 3:08 GMT
First I would like readers not to take this comment in the wrong way..
Absolutely all the credit to Sri Lanka for the way the played, but the opponent they chose for the opening ceremony was very disappointing..
I mean everyone knew from the beginning that SL will take the game without a doubt, but what I wanted in first match of the T20 WC was a nail biting match between two, equaled, formidable teams.. Not a one sided match..
AMAZINGFAN on September 19, 2012, 3:07 GMT
it's really is a great upset......i don't know how ordinary sl beat zim.......mendis and maling fit to bowl only against minnows.....but they r hopeless against ind.
DaCricketFan on September 19, 2012, 3:02 GMT
@ cool2cool, man I can understand your tension. Awaiting for the biggest upset of the history of the game at India vs Afghanistan match. Don't worry mate. Cricket is not all about winning.
Ramansilva on September 19, 2012, 2:59 GMT
Some startled Indian fans have jumped to discredit Ajantha Mendis's remarkable feat. Yes, we know Indian batsmen smashed him at one time. Yes, we know Indian batsmen are good at handling any spin bowler. But Ajantha's record is difficult to emulate by any Indian spin bowler in the current team. His 6 for 16 against mighty Australians was even better than 6 for 8 againts Zimbabwe.
DaCricketFan on September 19, 2012, 2:59 GMT
@praveen4honestremark & sachinkhairnar5983, Many thanks for your warm wishes my friends. At least people like you are still there to give the credit where it's due. Although our fans are tend to bash the comments posted by some of your fans, we(SL) still love to see Indian wins(not against us ;) ) as our neighbor. All the best for your team & as well as for Pakistan too.
Narbavi on September 19, 2012, 2:51 GMT
@Frank Anushka Sachith AbagNale: lol, Ashwin has already done a great deal in test cricket with loads of wickets and a test century, what has your great mendis done other than picking wickets against hapless teams and ofcourse that wonder at the beginning of his career
Narbavi on September 19, 2012, 2:46 GMT
Now, that's what i call a huge upset!! i mean, lanka beating zimbabwe was considered an upset, but none expected huge margin like this, this is what i call a real real upset, that's what this format and competition is all about, remember the same happened to england in 2009 in the first game!!

Outstanding inning by Sangakkara… just one dot ball in it... owsome!
dariuscorny on September 19, 2012, 2:02 GMT
this was clinical performance from SL.in t20s and odis SL has good depth in bowling,if they post even 150-160 in these pitches,it can be winning one,i can see a lot of teams strugging against SL in this tournament.they have good mix of allrounders in the team.they are definitely among the top 3 teams to qualify for Semis.well played SL.....
GIRIchamp on September 19, 2012, 1:58 GMT
well done ajantha. hope u keep the same performance going. and well done sri lanka. i was hoping for a brendan taylor magic but not to be. by the way m an INDIAN . JAI HIND ........ :D
AMAZINGFAN on September 19, 2012, 1:35 GMT
when mendis arrived everyone said he is going to be the next sensation.but after one or two series ind bastmen found a way out and they smashed mendis all over the park......when mendis could play q/f and s/f in wc then why can't he play wc final against india.mendis is afraid to play against ind batsmen...
on September 19, 2012, 1:30 GMT
@cool2cool:- Sanjay Majrekar put poor effort to compare Ajantha Mendis with R. Ashwin. I couldnt able to stopped my laugh. Ajantha Mendis is a totally match winner . ashwin only performs warm up games and domestic level matches. even he has not variations as mendis has. this world cup desperately need Mark Nicholus, Richie benaud and co to commentating. other wise minnows become heroes. heroes become minnows.
AMAZINGFAN on September 19, 2012, 1:27 GMT
ajanta mendis bowls well only against minnows.he is ineffective against ind batsmen.the so called best bowlers like malinga and mendis gets tonked for runs by ind batsmen.
Karnain on September 19, 2012, 1:20 GMT
Ajantha Mendis has sealed the ICC award for the best T20 performance for the next year which he marginally missed out this year.
Karnain on September 19, 2012, 1:10 GMT
SL into the super 8s (despite the result of their game against SA).
Opponents: 1. England 2. West Indies 3. New Zealand / Bangladesh
BG4cricket on September 19, 2012, 1:10 GMT
Hope someone had Ajantha Mendis is their fantasy side as he would have got an incredible score for that performance
on September 19, 2012, 0:48 GMT
Good show Ajantha. You are back and we pray for you.
Guess what ???? All expected Mahela to act as an interpreter for Ajantha in the award ceremony but Aja was so confident and spoke in spotless english. It shows that this humble man is a good learner and it is very good sign of a man who goes distance.
Ameega on September 19, 2012, 0:47 GMT
I remember SL started WC2003 in same manner with Vassy's 3 in a row in first three balls. Don't loose the way this time guys. btw, someone is saying "This is biggest upset in my life!".
praveen4honestremark on September 19, 2012, 0:38 GMT
@SLCric-DHFan on (September 18 2012, 21:43 PM GMT)...Brother, Just read another book on how many great professionals India produces and it is way more than any other country. Professionals like Doctors. Scientists in NASA. Why don't you read them too. The only fact India is lagging behind in sports is that money is actually not going to welfare of other sports person. So, let's better avoid ourselves from talking too much about talent which we have plenty and no thanks for your suggestions. Period.
Maduka43 on September 19, 2012, 0:30 GMT
@Juan_Fernando I do agree with you Bro. Maybe SL has changed their mind with Reebok!
Sinhaya on September 19, 2012, 0:19 GMT
@sachinkhairnar5983 and @praveen4honestremark, I appreciate and fully respect Indian fans like the 2 of you when cool2cool is posting nasty comments as usual. Good luck to India indeed. They have the best batting lineup among all teams. But I doubt if Harbhajan's selection was right. Kohli will definitely play a major part in any of India's wins. Main obstacle for us winning the T20 world cup will be India and Pakistan for sure.

@ mgr125128 -- Battle of Minnows - First Upset of the tournament ? LOL LOL LOL LOL - Good one !! Can't stop laughing !!!! Classic.. :)
theonemorpheus on September 18, 2012, 23:51 GMT
heights of redundancy...Ajantha Mendis' 6 for 8 is the best bowling performance in Twenty20 internationals surpassing his own 6 for 16 against Australia in 2011. Mendis' figures are also the best ever in the World T20....ROFL
Meety on September 18, 2012, 23:31 GMT
Well I will love to see the bowling performance that tops 6 for 8 off 4 overs! Yet they say it's a Batsmen's game? LOL! The small rider is, it was against basically a minnow, but still it is a good/great performance.
Htc-Android on September 18, 2012, 23:08 GMT
sangas strike rate was very impressive.hit only 2 fours and a six out of his 44 and yet he managed a strike rate of 169. who needs big hitters if he can play like this. i hope he plays the same innings in every game.
Juan_Fernando on September 18, 2012, 21:58 GMT
A convincing victory is always good but do not overly laud over individual performance like that of A. Mendis. Zimbabwe hardly plays any international cricket. Must prove himself against tougher and more experienced opposition.
This btw, is my second post to this article. Cricinfo not posting the first one maybe cause there was a small curse word regarding the new SL uniform. I mean, am I the only one that has a problem with it? Such horrible colour... Not true lankan blue. Shame cause I wanted to buy a new team jersey, not going to be this one.
Hope the moderators post this. Kept it as polite as possible.
Vibhanu on September 18, 2012, 21:51 GMT
@sampi72:The score 182 scored on a ground where the avg score was 120-135 Talking about kula his spell was economical and he was the highest wicket taker for srilanka in warm up games...chandimal doesn't perform well in srilanka...oh man Munaweera was in his debut..just need to give him more chances..Improve your knowledge of cricket and the past performences of players before commenting...Today after sometime SL played their best combinations...

"Australia has twenty million people. Yet they win almost every match. We have fifty times the people, so fifty times the talent.

@cricinfo..What is wrong with the match report? I see an incomplete report. The match got over hours ago.
kc69 on September 18, 2012, 21:06 GMT
Even though this was a "BIG" win i still believe Sri Lanka has a reality check against SA and other teams(in next round).
on September 18, 2012, 21:02 GMT
Ajantha must play the whole tournament. If he had played in the WC final things may well have gone differently. I have been a big supporter of his throughout his career, and found his recent exclusion inexplicable. Welcome Back A.M.!
sabbor on September 18, 2012, 20:59 GMT
awesome come back mendis.....but i m soo sad not to see AMIR
sampi72 on September 18, 2012, 20:52 GMT
Wwe can not happy with our batting performance...182 for 4 against minors is not sufficient enough...And we have not utilised power hitting of Angelo and Thisara...Though Jeewan scord runs...I am not agree to send him at number 5...Thisara perera power hitting should e used at number 5....We can bear that risk since we have angelo,Jeewan & Thiri after that.....For the next match against South africa...I suggest two changes.....Wunaweera should be replaced by chandimal asthe opner...Since chandimal has handled the South African fast bowlers very well in africa ,it can bea advantage to us...Further since South Africa is not playing well against spinners.....Kule should be replaced by Hearth or Dhanajaya...and Malinga nd open the bowl with thisara........Hope Mahela with bat with bit agressition..
madame_tussads on September 18, 2012, 20:49 GMT
maybe this time sri lanka will go on a step further and win the cup in their backyard... the runners-up of the last 2 odi world cups and 2009 t20world cup might get luck this time...
kandykolla on September 18, 2012, 20:26 GMT
Well done Sri Lanka !! You cannot take anyteam lightly in T20 !! This is just the beginning still a long way to go !! Don`t get carried away ....... !!
Sinhaya on September 18, 2012, 20:26 GMT
@cool2cool, at least Indian fan praveen4honestremark is a nice guy like how I have seen him often behave in forums as he has again posted a true fair comment in this article too. Do you know that Sri Lanka beat Australia 4 times in ODIs so far this calender year. So this win last night is NO SURPRISE!
Sinhaya on September 18, 2012, 20:22 GMT
@cool2cool, biggest upsets??? I am rolling on the floor laughing seeing your comments! You cant admit Sri Lanka winning, simple as that! Sri Lanka has beaten all test playing nations plenty of times in ODIs. So Sri Lanka winning a T20 is no surprise. Obviously you are not following Sri Lankan cricket enough. How can a side which entered the 2009 T20 finals and also the 2010 T20 world cup semis cause an upset like this? You dont even know what you are talking! Dont be so bitter towards Sri Lanka.
on September 18, 2012, 20:18 GMT
Seems Sangakarra was right about the pitches though. Those fast bowling nations like South Africa and Australia will love this.
on September 18, 2012, 20:14 GMT
Come on guys. How many countries can play Malinga and Mendis well? As I recall He got 6-16 against australia last year. Should Australia's test match status be rescinded then? Otherwise SL looks good. Would love to see Chandimal though
Cpt.Meanster on September 18, 2012, 20:05 GMT
I don't know why the Sri Lankans are celebrating this pathetic encounter ?!! Beating Zimbabwe was equivalent of beating a dead snake. Give me Ireland or Afghanistan ANY day over this team. I can't believe how the ICC have maintained Zimbabwe's test status. This team is simply a MINNOW in disguise. No improvement over several decades. How many more years will Zimbabwe need to finally compete with quality teams ? They used to be a decent team with Andy Flower, Alistair Campbell, Grant Flower, Craig Wishart, Heath Streak, Eddo Brandes, Paul Strang etc. Look at them now. I think Zimbabwe should be relegated to associate status. Ireland and Afghanistan both should be elevated to at least ODI status following this tournament.
QingdaoXI on September 18, 2012, 20:02 GMT
Very Good Bowling by Ajanta and Jeevan. Zimbabwe doesnt had any shot to play they look very rusty in this match, Sanga batted well, but still i think Mahela should open with Dilshan, Munaveera in local t-20 type player, he is not ready for international stage. I see SL in semi final after this match as the next opponents are South Africa and than in super eight stages West Indies, England and New Zealand who all will struggle to play the spin attack of SL, but for SL the problem will be in Knock out stages if India or Pakistan to qualifies from there, if they do SL will finish there tournament in Semi finals, if India or Pakistan doesnt come accross semi final than SL win will. I still think all 3 best Asian teams will be in Semi finals and the 4th Bangladesh should do well to qualify for Super eight stages.
rsherath on September 18, 2012, 19:47 GMT
Seem to be most of the ones put a premium on Ajantha Mendis. But a real deal is how he ball against India and Pakistan.
on September 18, 2012, 19:38 GMT
lets hope he perform agaist good teams too....its a nice performance :)
IndianROCKstars_2011_ODIchamps on September 18, 2012, 19:29 GMT
@AMRules ; There is no opening ceremony because SL does not have $$$. Recently I read on cricinfo just before T20 Worldcup started that ICC had given SL cricket board 2.5 miliion dollars as help to organise the tournament. It hilarious and tragic too, a board does not have that kind of money. Even Sir Ravindra Jadeja could have lend that amount money,forget Tendulkar,Dhoni and others. Point is India does not need to play SL on regular basis but its SL who come pleading and requesting to BCCI to play them. This helps them survive and pay basic salary to their team. If that was a fact and I was a SL fan , I dont think I would be talking like you do. I guess you get the hint.An IPL franchisee owner can own your entire SL team and keep them on bench all year round,just to stop your pest existence(franchisee will still make profit). India does not need SL its other way round.
amilag on September 18, 2012, 19:09 GMT
I told it earlier and say it again...Something big for SL cricket is looming...Go lions..go..
on September 18, 2012, 18:52 GMT
Another Poor Performance by Zimbabwe...as expected..Srilanka should also focus their weakness in opening...as both Srilankan batsmen gived chances to an ordinary bowling line up...Mendis was good in bowling...a remarkable comeback...Sanga was also good..and for Zimbabwe..they should open with brendon taylor and vusi sibanda and try to stay on the wicket...or else they cant be stay in the tornament...
LynadThike on September 18, 2012, 18:51 GMT
Yes Ireland look like a better side right now but people need to remember that Zim has not had a proper international series since February! Ireland on the other hand could not have asked for a much better lead up to this tournament. Proper match practice cannot be achieved in the nets.
Herath-UK on September 18, 2012, 18:48 GMT
A morale boosting win surely;this will give Sri Lanka the confidence and the momentum it was searching. Ranil Herath - Kent
RASIKAROX on September 18, 2012, 18:44 GMT
SurlyCynic on September 18, 2012, 18:41 GMT
Zim should have to qualify for future tournaments, let them prove they can beat teams like the Netherlands. That was an amateurish performance, even the fielding was sub-club standard.
on September 18, 2012, 18:41 GMT
Mendis is back, the last game he played for Sri Lanka he took 6 wickets against Australia, so 12 wickets in 2 games for Mendis. I hope SL plays Akila Danajaya for a seamer against South Africa. Mendis and Danajaya would be too much mystery for most batting line ups
whatawicket on September 18, 2012, 18:31 GMT
im still not sure about mendises on watching him, he does not spin the bowl. and if he is that good why does his country not play him in tests.
on September 18, 2012, 18:31 GMT
i dont want to see sl selectors doing mistake by selecting munaweera over chandimal .yes i agree chandimal is not perform well in reason past but he is very talented player than munaweera . munaweera is not mature enough to play international cricket yet, he has to learn a lot about timing and how to go for more singles rather than try to slog each and every ball . i dont want to see sl selectors do the same mistake which bcci did by selecting muraly vije just because of ipl performance

it will be interesting if akila dananjaya in the next match for thirimanne....will be two mystery spinners in both ends.....cngradzz sri lanka...but far away to go.............

Zee_Waqar_Sheikh on September 18, 2012, 18:01 GMT
better you give chance some good team who can show some promises. its not about losing the game at least play some real cricket. the club cricket team will show a better show what zimbabwe offer. please ICC don't include this standard teams to international stage. I can bet that Afghanistan will show much better effort then what this team has shown today.
AMRules on September 18, 2012, 18:00 GMT
Congrats SL but why there is no opening ceremony for the world cup, very bad.
BangladeshCricketTigers on September 18, 2012, 18:00 GMT
Well Done SriLanka.. Some of them are saying t20 is backyard cricket. When they come to know that their team is weak in this format and less chances to achieve the goal, they keep saying like this. Already some of them are saying "no favourites" in this format. Let see how many matches can minnows win against big teams. I think one day matches have more chances for minnows than the t20's. So i would say people keep saying like this when they see no hope for their teams.
on September 18, 2012, 17:59 GMT

on September 18, 2012, 17:59 GMT

elikana on September 18, 2012, 17:56 GMT
This is what the cricket world is looking for. Nobody wants to play with Zimbabwe so that they improve their game. Good result for the cricket world where you choose whom you want to play with and then be said to be the best. Fixture cricket games so that every body has equal oppotunity to play each other like in football. Our eyes not closed.

The true LION SPIRIT !!! Better be keep going this way ...
Vibhanu on September 18, 2012, 17:56 GMT
An intelligent Mendis' inclusion.....9 batsman with Kulesekara and 7 bowlers with Dilshan....Not BAD!!!
on September 18, 2012, 17:56 GMT
Heard it was too one sided and boring disappointing from Zimbabwe. I expect Sri Lanka and South Africa to go through in this group. No way did Mendis get all 9 wickets...
bigwonder on September 18, 2012, 17:54 GMT
It funny to see 3 Sri Lankan run-outs by Zimbabwe even when their fielding was sloppy.

Really good start to the world cup for Sri lanka, Mendis' were brilliant even though Zimbabwe can't play spin. Batting looks good too, If Thisara and Angelo came out to bat earlier sl would of got more than 200. Congrats SL, good luck for Saturday vs SA

on September 18, 2012, 17:26 GMT
Mahela should have given Mendis the all 4 overs in a row, he should have pickd up 10 wickets. who knows????

High Quality game played by SL today. Congratulations SL team upon your win. I expected a counter-attack from Zimbabwe in batting, but it was not to be only because of some great bowling from Ajanta Mendis and Jeevan Mendis. Good show by one of the favorite which is capable of winning T20 world cup.

I still believe SL could have scored more runs. Brilliant performance with Ball, but Batting is a worry. 180 odd runs at the loss of 4 wickets, certainly not good!!

Swai & Mushroom StewUser Submitted Recipe
Swai & Mushroom Stew served over Carolina Boule
Two slices of Carolina Boule
1 Swai Fillet
1 can of Condensed Golden Mushroom Soup
1 4 oz can of mushroom pieces and slices
1 TBSP unsalted butter
2 TBSP Cholula Hot Sauce
Put a frying pan on the stove at medium high heat. Swirl a couple of tablespoons of olive oil in the pan and set the swai fillet in the oil. Fry on each side for three minutes. DO NOT SEASON THE FILLET!
When finished, place the fillet on a paper towel to drain.
Empty the condensed Golden Mushroom soup into a microwave safe bowl. Do NOT add the recommended water to the condensed soup. We want it to be thick! Add the mushroom pieces with the liquid to the soup mixture. Add the two tablespoons of Cholula hot sauce at the same time. Stir and heat on high for for three minutes and thirty seconds.
When finished heating the soup and mushroom mixture, add the butter and let it melt slowly. Cut the previously cooked swai into spoon size pieces and add that to the thick soup mixture.
Put the Carolina Boule slices in a shallow bowl and spoon some of the Swai Mushroom Stew over the bread.

Article: Allelic Variant in Ctla-4 is Associated with Thyroid Failure and Faster Beta Cell Exhaustion in Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background To investigate the role of the Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte Associated-4 (CTLA-4) G6230A variant on the susceptibility of latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) as a whole and in the subset of patients who share autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD). Methods The study included 202 LADA, 1373 early-onset type 1 diabetes (T1D), 130 late-onset T1D, 188 patients with non-autoimmune diabetes and 1904 healthy controls. Thyrotropin (TSH) and antibodies against thyreoperoxidase were analysed in all patients. The CTLA-4 G6230A variant was assessed in LADA, early- and late-onset T1D patients as well as in the controls. ResultsThe frequency of CTLA-4 G alleles and genotypes in LADA patients did not significantly differ from the other groups, regardless of its association with AITD. We found increased frequency of G allele containing genotypes within LADA patients who had higher TSH, compared with those with normal TSH (p=0.002). Moreover, LADA patients carrying G allele containing genotypes were more likely to require insulin therapy within 4 years from the diagnosis (p=0.002). Conclusions The G6230A CTLA-4 do not confer susceptibility to LADA in Sardinian patients even when associated with AITD. However, it helps to identify a particular subset of LADA patients with more clinically severe disease, both for thyroid dysfunction and diabetes.

ABSTRACT: Background. L'ipercolesterolemia autosomica recessiva è un disordine monogenico presente con frequenza relativamente elevata in Sardegna (1:40.000). Due mutazioni, G65A (W22→stop) situata nell'esone 1 del gene LDLRAP1 e 432insA (E170→stop) situata nell'esone 4 dello stesso gene sono responsabili di tutti i casi finora riportati. E' stato effettuato uno screening di tali mutazioni per la stima della frequenza degli eterozigoti in un campione di popolazione sarda. Sono stati sottoposti ad analisi molecolare 2448 campioni di DNA rappresentativi della popolazione del Nord e Sud Sardegna. Metodi. L'analisi è stata effettuata mediante amplificazione PCR del primo e del quarto esone del gene LDLRAP1 con primers mutagenizzati, seguita da analisi di restrizione (rispettivamente BstNI e MvaI per le mutazioni nell'esone 1 e 4). Per la mutazione G65A il primer reverse è stato modificato nella penultima base all'estremità 3' per creare un nuovo sito di restrizione BstNI, mentre per la mutazione 432insA il primer generava un nuovo sito di restrizione MvaI. Nel caso della mutazione G65A in presenza dell'allele mutato viene eliminato il sito di restrizione e si osserva la banda dell'amplificato di 157 bp. Nel caso della mutazione 432insA in presenza dell'allele mutato viene eliminato il sito di restrizione e si osserva la banda dell'amplificato di 144 bp. Risultati. Sono stati riscontrati 3 eterozigoti su 2448 (0,122%) per la mutazione G65A e 16 eterozigoti su 2448 (0,653%) per la mutazione 432insA. Inoltre è stata riscontrata la presenza di un omozigote su 2448 (0,040%) per la mutazione 432insA. Dai dati suddetti la stima della frequenza degli eterozigoti nella popolazione sarda risulterebbe essere di 1:820 per la mutazione G65A e 1:153 per la mutazione 432insA. Conclusioni. La prevalenza osservata per la mutazione 432insA non si discosta significativamente da quella attesa (1:135), stimata sulla base della frequenza degli omozigoti nella popolazione generale. Al contrario la frequenza osservata per la mutazione G65A è notevolmente più bassa di quella teorica (1:141) per cui l'elevata prevalenza con cui è stata riscontrata in aree specifiche dell'isola potrebbe essere spiegata con l'esistenza di un "hot-spot" per tale mutazione.
Conference Paper: ETEROGENEITA' DELLA COMPOSIZIONE CORPOREA NEL DIABETE AUTOIMMUNE LATENTE NELL'ADULTO (LADA)
Article: Number of autoantibodies and HLA genotype, more than high titers of glutamic acid decarboxylase autoantibodies, predict insulin dependence in latent autoimmune diabetes of adults[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In latent autoimmune diabetes of adults (LADA), the progression into insulin-dependent diabetes is usually faster than in type 2 diabetes (T2D) but the factors influencing this progression are not completely known. In this study, we searched for sensitive markers associated with early development of insulin dependence. The screening of 5568 T2D patients for glutamic acid decarboxylase autoantibodies (GAD65Ab) identified 276 LADA patients (M=131; F=145) and in 251 of them, tyrosine phosphatase-2 (IA-2Ab) and thyroperoxidase autoantibodies (TPOAbs), some clinical features and genotype variation of the main type 1 diabetes (T1D) disease susceptibility loci (HLA-DRB1 and HLA-DQB1) were analyzed. Four years after the diagnosis of diabetes, high GAD65Ab titer was not significantly associated with faster progression toward insulin deficiency (P=0.104). Patients with GAD65Ab and TPOAb or IA-2Ab or triple positivity for both islet and TPOAbs (GAD65Ab/IA-2Ab/TPOAb) showed a significantly faster disease progression (P=0.002). Among 104 TPOAb-positive LADA patients, 10 received replacement therapy (l-thyroxine), 43 showed high TSH levels (62.7% developed insulin dependence), and 3 had hyperthyroidism treated with methimazole. Multivariate analysis revealed a significant effect on disease progression only for TPOAb (P=0.022), female gender (P=0.036), low body mass index (BMI; P=0.001), and T1D high/intermediate risk HLA-DRB1/DQB1 genotypes grouped (P=0.020). High GAD65Ab titers per se are not a major risk factor for disease progression in LADA, while the number of positive autoantibodies and HLA DRB1-DQB1 genotypes at high risk for T1D are significant predictors. Moreover, clinical characteristics such as low BMI and female gender are more likely to identify patients who will require insulin therapy within 4 years of diagnosis.
Article: Severe hypertriglyceridemia without organ complications in an alcoholic non-diabetic patient[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A case report of a non-diabetic alcoholic patient (ethanol intake >220 g/d) who experienced severe hypertriglyceridemia (12.679 mg/dL) without pancreatitis or detectable genetic factors responsible for severe dyslipidemia is described. Following the normalization of triglyceride and cholesterol levels, through lipid-free parenteral nutrition therapy, a regimen of alcohol withdrawal and a well-balanced diet with less than 10% saturated fat maintained a normal lipid profile without requiring any lipid-lowering drug. The absence of organ damage in the patient is likely to be attributed to the short duration of the elevated triglyceride peak. The treatment of this disorder does not necessarily require LDL-apheresis but can be simply managed by parenteral therapy provided that no other risk factors are present.
Article: Latent Autoimmune Diabetes of Adult[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) is a disorder with onset after age 30, insulin independence for at least 6 months after diagnosis, and the presence of circulating pancreatic islet autoantibodies. The prevalence of LADA varies substantially across ethnic groups and ranges approximately from 1% to 10% among patients with type 2 diabetes. In this review we discuss the nomenclature, diagnostic criteria, immunologic and genetic markers, metabolic alterations and therapy of this form of diabetes.
Article: Epitope-Restricted 65-Kilodalton Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase Autoantibodies among New-Onset Sardinian Type 2 Diabetes Patients Define Phenotypes of Autoimmune Diabetes[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The 65-kDa glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD65) autoantibodies (GAD65Abs), commonly found in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) patients, are also found at lower frequencies in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. GAD65Abs in T1DM patients are epitope specific, in contrast to those found in other GAD65Ab-positive individuals, including T2DM patients. Our aim was to assess whether epitope-specific GAD65Abs, or the additional presence of islet antigen 2 (IA-2) autoantibodies, better define T1DM phenotypes among T2DM patients. GAD65 and IA-2 autoantibodies were analyzed in 1436 Sardinian subjects classified with T2DM and in 384 nondiabetic patient controls. Autoantibody binding specificity to the N-terminal, middle (M), and C-terminal (C) portions of the GAD65 molecule was evaluated. Among the T2DM patients, 5.1% had GAD65 (P < 0.001) and 2.4% had IA-2 autoantibodies, compared with 1.3 and 1.6%, respectively, among the controls. GAD65Ab-positive T2DM patients with M+C (epitope-specific) reactivity were found to have the lowest body mass index (P < 0.001), followed by GAD65Ab/IA-2Ab-positive patients (P < 0.01), and non-M+C-reactive (non-epitope-specific) patients (P < 0.02). In GAD65Ab-positive T2DM patients, c-peptide levels were lower in M+C-reactive compared with non-M+C-reactive patients. Sardinian T2DM patients with M+C-predominant GAD65Ab reactivity have clinical features more similar to those of T1DM patients. Thus, GAD65Ab epitope analysis may help to define T1DM phenotypes among newly diagnosed GAD65Ab-positive patients classified with T2DM.
Article: Effect of ovarian stimulation on plasma lipid and apolipoprotein concentrations in a population of infertile women undergoing IVF/embryo transfer[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Twenty consecutive infertile women (mean age +/- SD, 36.9 +/- 5.4 years) undergoing ovarian stimulation with recombinant follicle stimulating hormone (rFSH) were recruited. Serial measurements of plasma total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), triglycerides (TG), apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1), apolipoprotein B (Apo-B), lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)), oestradiol and progesterone were performed on day 3 before starting ovarian stimulation, on the day of human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) administration and on day 15 after HCG administration, respectively. The relationship between lipid and apolipoprotein concentrations and serum oestradiol and progesterone concentrations was sought. All women completed the ovarian stimulation protocol successfully. Plasma concentrations of HDL-C and Apo-A1 were significantly raised on the day of HCG administration and then returned to baseline values within 2 weeks. LDL-C, TG, Apo-B and Lp(a) were significantly increased on day 15 after HCG administration. Lp(a) variation between the first sample and the third sample correlated positively with serum progesterone concentrations (r = 0.472, P < 0.04). No other significant correlations were found between lipid and apolipoprotein variations and either oestradiol or progesterone concentrations. It was concluded that an increase of plasma lipid and apolipoprotein concentrations deserves particular consideration and all women undergoing ovarian stimulation should be monitored for long-term atherogenic and thrombogenic risks.

ABSTRACT: We sought to investigate the changes in circulating serum lipids and lipoproteins, including lipoprotein (a), and low-density lipoprotein size in women during normal pregnancy. Twenty-two women (mean age, 31 +/- 5 years; 13 primiparous subjects) were studied during uncomplicated pregnancy with normal outcome. Twenty-four nulliparous women of similar age (31 +/- 4 years) were studied as control subjects. Serum triglycerides and total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol increased significantly during pregnancy in all women. Women with changes in low-density lipoprotein during the second and third trimesters showed a more marked increase in serum triglycerides, and this effect was slightly more evident in the multiparous subjects. No other differences were evident between primiparous and multiparous women apart from high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, which were slightly decreased in the latter subjects. Our results show that during normal pregnancy, the increase in plasma triglycerides may lead to the appearance of the atherogenic dense low-density lipoproteins in a subgroup of women. We suggest that the observed changes in low-density lipoprotein patterns during pregnancy might be used to identify those women who later in life will have these atherogenic small and dense low-density lipoproteins.

ABSTRACT: 47 postmenopausal women (spontaneous or surgical) were studied in order to evaluate whether estrogen plus progesterone replacement therapy (HRT) influences plasma lipoproteins levels. 32 subjects served as study group (transdermal or oral therapy) and 15 subjects served as control group. The two groups were followed for 15 months. Fasting plasma total cholesterol, LDL and HDL cholesterol, triglyceride's, apolipoprotein's A-1 and B and lipoprotein(a) were determined. In the hypercholesterolemic (LDL cholesterol > 140 mg/dl) therapy group (15 patients), HRT appeared to be effective in reducing the LDL concentration (p = 0.07). After 15 months, no other significant changes on serum lipoproteins resulted in the 2 groups. In conclusion, HRT appeared to be effective in hypercholesterolemic women and in the maintenance of premenopausal lipid value, levels menopause, in the other patients.
Article: Reduction of Albumin Excretion Rate in Normotensive Microalbuminuric Type 2 Diabetic Patients During Long-Term Simvastatin Treatment[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To study the long-term effects of simvastatin on urinary albumin excretion rate (AER) in normotensive microalbuminuric type 2 diabetic patients with hypercholesterolemia. A total of 19 normotensive microalbuminuric hypercholesterolemic type 2 diabetic patients entered a double-blind crossover study for 2 years, receiving either simvastatin (20 mg/day) or placebo (each treatment for 1 year). Simvastatin significantly decreased plasma cholesterol (total and LDL) after 52 weeks of treatment. A concomitant significant decrease of AER (25% from basal) with no significant changes in creatinine clearance was observed during the same period. Our data are in keeping with the hypothesis that simvastatin might be used as an additional means to preserve renal function in microalbuminuric hypercholesterolemic type 2 diabetic patients.
Article: Cyclical variation of plasma lipids, apolipoproteins, and lipoprotein (a) during menstrual cycle of normal women[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We report herein the effects of cyclical variations of endogenous sex steroids during the menstrual cycle on plasma lipids and apolipoproteins (apo) in normal women. We examined 16 normal women (age range 25-36 yr) with normal menstrual cycles of 28-31 days. The study covered the period from the 1st day of a menstrual phase (basal) until the 1st day of the following menstrual phase. During the study all women maintained a normolipidic diet (30% fat). Plasma total cholesterol and low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol were significantly higher than basal in the preovulatory phase until progesterone started to increase in the postovulatory phase [day +8 from luteinizing hormone (LH) surge]. High-density-lipoprotein cholesterol was significantly higher than basal from day -1 to the day after LH surge, whereas plasma apoAI levels were significantly higher from day -8 to day +8 (from LH surge). Plasma apo(a) increased significantly during the luteal phase in four women characterized by a single S4 band and lower basal plasma levels of apo(a). Our results indicate that endogenous female sex steroids have significant effects on the circulating levels of plasma lipids and apolipoproteins, including apo(a). More work needs to be done to elucidate the significance of the observed apo(a) changes, and the different phases of the menstrual cycle must be taken into account when evaluating the lipidic risk profile in premenopausal women.
