Choking champs....whos that, Pak v Ireland by any chance...

 

[OzPride]

Overall its been a poor batting display by Aus

 

[moumotta]

Not an ideal hitout to prepare for the finals. Talking of preparation anyone know why Hayden isn't playing.

One more gone- 2 to go.

 

[OzPride]

Hogg trapped in front, the fat girl is nearly ready to sing, she only has one hot dog to go.

he said new choking champs

 

[OzPride]

Resting, whatever that means

 

[moumotta]

Just the other day Ponting was lamenting about how Hayden missed his preparations because of the lengthy CA hearing.

 

[OzPride]

he said new choking champs

Nah we are still at the back of the bus in regards to choking, u guys are sitting behind the driver next in line to take the title..

 

[OzPride]

If he wasnt injured then surely they had to play him.

 

[moumotta]

Nothing new today. Australia have a history of losing dead rubber games.

 

[OzPride]

Not an ideal prep though Moumotta, but there usually good for bouncing back

[Luton Bad Boy]

India will be loving this result....or Australia playing that pyschological game with India and giving them a false sense of hope???

 

[DHONI183]

Congratulation to Sri Lanka !!!

Feel sorry for Gilly though .......

 

[12thMan]

And how does Inzis dismissal relate to Bhogles comments here..Bhogle might have said the same thing if he was the commentator then.

it relates to it because these things happen on the field and he makes it that that was some exceptional inappropriate move there. Worse things that have happened .. maybe it was the Symonds factor and Indian audience.

 

[switchblade]

Congrats to Lanka for their superb win against the Oz people.. just now woke up to find this great news !

 

[Sahastra]

Harbhajan was right when he said Aussie's don't look so invincible anymore. An Australian team of the old wouldn't lose after suitting pretty at 107/5 off 15 overs and less than that to score in remaining 35 and all wickets in hand.

Strange things have happened to the Australian team - and while it doesn'tr mean that the Indian team is ready to encash, it does mean that the Aura has evaporated.

 

[OZGOD]

Pretty dismal effort from the OZ. It's funny how people are saying that we don't look invincible post the Indian tour though - the reality is that this team hasn't looked invincible for a while now. It was just last year that we got blanked 3-0 in NZ and lost by 10 wickets in the first game of that series.

I think "invincible" was more from the perspective of other fans than from OZ fans as from my point of view we haven't looked invincible from 2003 anyway.

 

[UP]

Finally...Finally a win for Sri Lanka!

Aye The end is coming

 

[buddhika_s]

This was fixed

Would have been interesting had SL had to win this game to get in the finals

 

[moumotta]

If Australia lost in that situation it would have definitely set the media on fire with conspiracy theories. NZ is often accused of throwing games to disqualify Australia.

There is an interesting parallel between Australia's loss to SL and SL loss to India earlier in the week. SL were going great guns for the first 10 overs of their batting and then fell apart. Same with Australia. Wonder if we are seeing a new trend.
