Australia v Sri Lanka | World T20 | Trent Bridge | 8/06/09

[Inswinging Yorker]

160 the target

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

i hear that the aussis just confirmed their flight

 

[hasanb]

good comeback by the tailenders but i don't think it will be enough for them to survive

SL should get these really, but it could get quite close....game on

 

[Zahid87]

160 is a decent target. SL should get it but the Aussies always fight. I wouldn't get carried away just yet. But Sanath can do a Gayle, then yeah the Aussies will be out of the tournament.

But....even then they aren't flying out! They are staying for the biggest, most prestigious, only trophy that matters, anything else is just a sideshow, series; namely the Ashes.

 

[mooz]

I'll take Australia for the win.

 

[Stewie]

So they gotta restrict or bowl SL for how much in order to qualify?

they will get caned

 

[hasanb]

So they gotta restrict or bowl SL for how much in order to qualify?

First thing they need to do is just concentrate on winning rather than cluttering their minds with NRR calculations. Since if WI beat SL then NRR wont even matter. However perhaps a 30 - 35 run margin should be good here?

It's unfair to judge him based on 1 delivery just because he couldn't hit one free hit....

28/1 off 3

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

I reckon if these 2 play like this, the Aussies can't win this match...

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Good aggressive cricket by SL...

 

[hasanb]

one ball away from being a wicket maiden...and the over costs 9 runs in the end, thats t20 cricket for you!

[tdigi]

Sangakkara's fav player is Sir Viv Richards

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

FOUR by Dilshan...he is really beating the Aussies bowlers...

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Sanga should play the anchor innings and give most of the strike to Dilshan...

 

[insaftak]

off side packed with fielders

 

[Da Best]
