Australia vs Sri Lanka | 3rd ODI | WACA | 10/2/12

[OZGOD]

OZ on the rack 8/203 after 45 overs. If they fail to bat out the 50 overs it will be disgusting.

 

[OZGOD]

Tail is wagging! 8/213 now with the bunnies at the crease

 

[velu]

Aussies 231 - allout

 

[Justcrazy]

SL have done well , but they need to finish it , there batsmen have to score those runs.

 

[adnan yasin]

hardly aussies dont play full 50 overs... first good achievement by Sri lanka

[Inziquicksingle]

Sri Lanka 165 all out.

 

[Justcrazy]

SL need a solid start here.

 

[Justcrazy]

5 /0

 

[Justcrazy]

If SL bat out 50 overs they should win.

 

[Justcrazy]

SL need to win this one ..... that would make a win for each team !!

 

[Justcrazy]

:4 smashed

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Starc gets Tharanga!

 

[Justcrazy]

If Dilshan stays there for 25 overs , he will hurt the Aussies.

 

[Justcrazy]

WU Tharanga c Clarke b Starc 5 (13b 1x4 0x6) SR: 38.46

 

[Amjid Javed]

Aussies will win this game by 60 runs atleast i reckon.

 

[Amjid Javed]

SL lose 1st wicket, no surprise there!

 

[Justcrazy]

Sangakara is another class act .......

 

[Justcrazy]

SL need Dilshan to play long , to win.

 

[Justcrazy]

16 /1 after 5

 

[OZGOD]

Time to see how good this bowling attack really is. Will they live up to the hype?

 

[Justcrazy]

Sangakara is one of the best timers in the world.

 

[IAJ]

Seems like any score over 230 is competitive after the introduction of the new rule of new ball at each end.

 

[velu]

19/1 after 7

 

[Justcrazy]

24 /1 after 8

 

[Justcrazy]

[Justcrazy]

Starc continues here.

 

[Justcrazy]

This is a good pitch, fast outfield. You get value for good shots.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sri Lanka require another 201 runs with 9 wickets and 40.0 overs remaining

 

[Justcrazy]

So far Aussies have kept it tight ....

 

[Justcrazy]

[doctordamor]

Seriosuly wats wrong with SL? N mahela said aussie dun have bowling attack man oh man

 

[RamLakhan]

I think Sri Lanka should revive their team. They have some good bowlers (but they need to be carefully utilized) and they have some good fielders. They have to change their batting line up. Dilshan and Taranga are too inconsistent (especially outside Sub-continent). They should bring back Chamara Silva, Samaraveera and Kandambi who can at least be consistent and give solidity in the middle order. And they should go aggressively by opening with Sangakara and Jayawardena. They anyhow have two more good players in the middle order (Matthews and Chandimal) if there is a downfall. So I don't see any reason why they can't be proactive and take up initiative. That will give them maximum chances of winning (especially outside sub-continent, more so because other international teams these days are also not too great and have one or other weaknesses)

[IAJ]

Come on Mathews, you can win it!

 

[velu]

Anyways good fight in the end

 

[JibranAnsari]

, good fight by mathews though.

 

[shakil]

Brilliant Match...........

 

[Fawad2010]

Good result at the end. Mathews can't rescue SL all the time. Lesson for middle order.

Plus its nice to see a last over thriller going bowler's way. Seen too many go batsmen's way in recent past.

 

[RamLakhan]

Good result at the end. Mathews can't rescue SL all the time. Lesson for middle order.

I have posted what's wrong with Srilankan team

 

[Amjid Javed]

Excellent Inns from Matthews. Aussies luck at the end! What an awful ball to get out to at end!

 

[1137moiz]

Brilliant game. Mathews is a brilliant finisher and has rediscovered his accurate nibblers with the ball too.

Also nice to see Kulasekara perform with the ball, he's been through a rough patch in that facet over the last year
