[Ashraful_Rox]

I guess no one watches the Srilanka matches. They don't have entertaining players like Malinga anymore

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Maxi on a roll, what a shot :4 :4

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

more Maxi my boi

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

6 overs 73 runs, anything over 140 Srilanka won't be able to chase, they don't have the firepower

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

more, we missed maxi

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Srilankans appeals for everything, even if it hits the bat

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

50 for Maxi of 27 balls, what a sixer :AAG:

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

ANOTHER SIX

 

[Zeshan547]

Don't know what special talent Aussies seen in Khuwaja, Very average player.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Maxy doing crazy stuff here.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

by Maxi, what a talent this kid

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

I think Maxwell should open in ODI's as well, the guy is such class. Most entertaining batsman at the moment

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

wow even head can hit them big

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Can SL find some decent bowlers please?

Why?

Block scores a yorker with the new ball and is stumps a flying.

Keep him in the lower order and set up a platform for him

He is the Big Show, in form. Can make any opposition cry, take the game away from the opposition within first 10 overs. Legend on 98*

Who would you pick? The Finisher or the Big Show for One Day?

I think Finisher is pretty much finished

In terms of opening batsmen I wouldn't pick either.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Hundred for Maxi,

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

In terms of opening batsmen I wouldn't pick either.

How about for an all rounder spot?

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Chameera and Eranga?

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Heyyyyyyyyy is the Big Show :AAG:

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

omg the constant noise at the sri lankan grounds are so annoying, i have a headache now

 

[Zeshan547]

Can Aussies break the world record, hard but possible I guess. What a rubbish bowling performance by Sri Lanka. Utter rubbish.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Maxi is a Greek God

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

hahahaha Ranjith Fernando almost had a heart attack

what a drop

 

[Convict]

How about for an all rounder spot?

Well yeah. Maxwell will return to the side soon enough

 

[Zeshan547]

Two records on the line.

 

[Thivagar]

Is it the pitch or the bowlers ?

 

[Thivagar]

This means Mathews will now play with 4 spinners and no fast bowlers

 

[Zeshan547]

Highest individual and highest team score. It's seems like EA cricket.

 

[Zeshan547]

My guess is Australia will get highest team score but maxi will miss out on individual score.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Is it the pitch or the bowlers ?

Both man, Every ever a bowler has bowled 1 or two full tosses every over , especially Senayake and Perera

 

[Thivagar]

You need Leggies in T20 as they turn against most of the batsmen. SL needed Vandersay. On the other hand. Maxwell is on fire. He really contributes, when he does.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Hahahahahaha misfield omg

 

[Thivagar]

3 more in 2 balls to break records.

 

[Thivagar]

Record broken !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Highest T20 score by Aussies Aussie Aussie Aussie :AAG:

 

[troodon]

LOL

Lankan bowlers.

 

[Thivagar]

Cricket is good tons of good hitters recently.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

What a farewell party for Dilscoop

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Australia have taken revenge from Srialanka for Sir John

 

[Adijazz1706]

Since Smith has left, Australia have looked invincible. Could he have been the problem?

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

I think he used to play politics

 

[Watsupdoc]

Oh my I looked at the score of Aus and tought that this was a OD. Turns out its a T20!

 

[Justcrazy]

It will be difficult for lanka to get this score in 50 overs , let alone 20

 

[Smbhayi]

What happened?

 

[Justcrazy]

Chandimal is looking good again here .

Well made

 

[Justcrazy]

chandimal gone

 

[Justcrazy]
