Playing Scenario: If Australia bowl out Sri Lanka to 200, they will need to chase it down in 27.1 overs. However, if Sri Lanka score 150, Australia will go through if they can overhaul the target in about 24 overs. The smaller the target, the easier it gets for Australia.Sri Lanka on the other hand, just need to win.

 

[WebGuru]

Bazid Khan played 5 ODI's for Pakistan and scored 2 fifties...He got the test cap also played 1 Test for Pakistan against WI in 2005...

Nah, I still see SL making 200-240 and Australia won't be able to chase it down quick enough.

Australia v Sri Lanka ICC Champions Trophy | 17/06/13 | SL Innings

Aussie commied a few good coaches(talking about SL coaches )
SL commie :A few dodgy ones as well
Lol

 

[WebGuru]

It's a pleasure to watch Mahela & Sanga in full flow...

 

[shah_1]

Bailey is such a pathetic captain, you need wickets and he is bowling part timers[Maxwell and Marsh]

 

[syedtumair]

and here you go!

 

[Mobashir]

Poor captaincy by Bailey. Should have bring back Jhonson and McKay before. Can't understand why he did bowl part timers when it is not even needed.

 

[shah_1]

mitchell johnson is bowling beautifully , undoubtedly the best fast bowler in this tournament. What a return for him, I back him to play for Australia in Ashes.


He looks lethal with his new haircut

I will still keep him just for LOI's.
He can play a major role in the next world cup.

not sure,McLenaghan,Malinga and Clint McKay have done better

 

[shah_1]

not sure,McLenaghan,Malinga and Clint McKay have done better

Johnson is creating trouble on a pitch where there is no pace on the pitch, I am not sure other you have mentioned could bowl such hostile spells like Johnson on such a pitch.

 

[Kianig89]

RR is very slow but still NZ are more Favs than Aus.....

 

[klklkl]

pitch looks to be a blinder

 

[Robert]

Looks like the Aussies are throwing a lifeline to their Hobbit cousins.

Can Kula Shaker come off again?

 

[Justcrazy]

229 / 6

 

[Justcrazy]

SL should win this one.

 

[Justcrazy]

Aussies batting now good enough to chase a 250 against SL.

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[Justcrazy]

14 balls left

SL need at least 20 more runs

 

[Ahson8]

SL are gonna win I reckon if they rack up 250

 

[Justcrazy]

237 / 7

 

[Justcrazy]

243 / 7
7 balls to go

 

[RexRex]

Watson and Bailey will go wild today.I back Aus to win today's game.

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[Justcrazy]

:4 250 up

 

[Justcrazy]

254 is Target

 

[shah_1]

254 target in 29.1 overs for Australia to Qualify

Watson is the key

 

[asifp]

Man I wish target was around 200 would make for great chase, now this looks like a very difficult ask to do, given the NRR situation. Australia might just be happy with a win

 

[asifp]

254 target in 29.1 overs for Australia to Qualify

Watson is the key

Not gonna happen!

 

[Ahson8]

Scenarios again:

If Sri Lanka win this, they are through to the next round

If Australia win this in 29.1 overs, they are through to the next round.

If Australia win this after 29.1 overs, New Zealand are through.





Aus needs to score at round 9 rpo to qualify. Gonna be tough

 

[shah_1]

nothing is impossible but mighty difficult

Australia have big hitters like Marsh and Maxwell, they need to fire as well with Watson

[klklkl]

ive seriously never seen a weaker australian team

 

[Madplayer]

Aus could do with an "IPL version of GAYLE" right now

 

[klklkl]

Aussie Aussie Aussie...........Oink Oink oink..........Aussie.......the Kangaroos are talking right now

 

[Justcrazy]

45 / 1

 

[battler]

Here is the big show!!will the 'big show' make it big tonight?

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Hughes managed to find a stupid way to get out

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[PB]

Where are Shaun Marsh, Callum Ferguson, And Cameron White?

 

[Justcrazy]

Poor shot

 

[Justcrazy]

Things will get tougher from here

 

[battler]

Hughes giving catching practice to sanga

 

[klklkl]

Bailey needs to just shup up and give strike to Maxwell........If Maxwell plays a Blinder here....who knows..

 

[Justcrazy]

Aussies should not loose any more wickets here for next 10 overs
