Australia vs Sri Lanka Result| Australia win by 64 runs to qualify for Quarter Final

[Enforcer]

SL is not India to choke vs good bowling, SL is 9-6 vs Australia in Australia

You lost this match when you lost the toss. Simple as that. No team can chase in Australian conditions against Australia.

 

[Thivagar]

He's not a bad analyst. Much prefer him to the dross about pizza toppings and nerds v julios that I was subjected to earlier in the summer.

His voice is annoying and he pauses between sentence.

[Anfield]

They have to decide whether they have to face Devilliers maniac .. or pakistan lethal fast bowling in the quarters

They had choose Pakistan but if Pakistan batting gets some more momentum I tell you we can be a dangerous opponents but it's a big IF unfortunately.

 

[adnan yasin]

I would prefer South Africa.

Thats why pakistan wants to face SL

 

[Pantani]

His voice is annoying and he pauses between sentence.

That and the bias are definitely his drawbacks. But he's not James Brayshaw, Arnold does offer some constructive commentary occasionally.

Momentum in the batting might not come. I hope it does but i am not seeing it coming due to 1 reason.. but i dont want to talk about it here

Inshallah Pakistan will do better now .. they are on high now

Pray that India win toss in Knock outs every single time. I am sure we will win the world cup, if we play our Knockouts in Australia and bat first every single time.

 

[adnan yasin]

is shane watson ok with batting at number 5 .. how many times he has done that

This is dense, we are playing with four batsmen, one of which is crippled.

REview taken ..

 

[Thivagar]

WTH ? bad review

 

[adnan yasin]

height?

 

[Pantani]

Awful review

 

[adnan yasin]

what are they checking .. the impact on front pad or back pad? its not edge

 

[Thivagar]

Stupid stuff from Mathews

 

[Pantani]

He didn't hit that.

 

[hamzie]

HOWWWWWWWW are the umpires so idiotic

 

[Justcrazy]

Review Time.

We haven't got the pace to trouble Clarke's back

What kind of logic is this ? Do you know how pathetic sounds ?

 

[Random Aussie]

Oh Watto is at five. OK then.

 

[Thivagar]

Finch is going to murder Prasanna

 

[Random Aussie]

Lol leg spin to Finch. If it turns he's gone.

 

[Pantani]

Got him!

 

[Random Aussie]

) finch you suck

 

[hamzie]

wooooooooooooooooooo

Finch is going to murder Prasanna

Proved me wrong

[Suleiman]

Aaron Hack gone. Should stick to swiping the ball, defensive strokes don't work for him.

 

[Thivagar]

This is dense, we are playing with four batsmen, one of which is crippled.

He is a dangerous customer and the potential is always there

 

[Pantani]

Got to break the next partnership soon, Australia's best players of spin are together. If we can get either Smith or Clarke shortly, Australia are likely to rout. Panic spreads quickly.

 

[akamaka]

both hacks gone

 

[Random Aussie]

Alright let's see how fit Clarke really is.

 

[Thivagar]

Clarke is smarter than Warner and Finch. No mediocre bowler is going to trouble him.

 

[Justcrazy]

finch gone

 

[Enforcer]

The logic is simple, except hobart, no grounds in Australia you can chase a total (especially in MCG, Sydney and Adelaide) The ball do a lot at night. If SL manage to win today, i will consider him the biggest contender to win the WC.

 

[desi_launda]

finch gone

wow,your stream is really lagging behind

 

[jattafridi]

Smith looking good for century

 

[Thivagar]

38 years old and still the best fielder on the team.

 

[OZGOD]

finch out like an absolute dunce that type of dismissal deserves a dropping

If we can restrict Australia to < 240 then I back the top order to complete the chase. Got to make this good start count and keep searching for wickets.

Clarke off the mark with a single to the offside

 

[Random Aussie]

See, the leggie was nervous at the start but now has his confidence up and is flighting it nicely.

It's been done in the past man, we drew the last odi series in Australia all chasing, won both of the t20s chasing as well. It is not impossible, it can be done.

240?? I don't think so. That is the beauty of Australian batting. They just bat too deep, deeper than mariana trench

 

[Thivagar]

Every SL player apart from the big 3 batsmen and Malinga always look nervous. SL players need serious serious self development therapy.

Need a good tight over from a spinner, then try bringing on Thisara to induce a loose shot.

 

[Thivagar]

Mathews will no become very defensive.

 

[Thivagar]

No use of wrist nor run up from Prasanna.

True. But this Australian team bat too deep. Starc coming at no.10!! This is surreal! How many wickets will you take?They will some how reach 300. Then?? Nz had boult, you have to find someone

 

[Thivagar]

Clarke looks like he is going through depression or something.

 

[Thivagar]

New gloves after playing 15 balls for Clarke.

 

[Thivagar]

Thisara Perera to lose the momentum for SL

 

[FreeBird]

Why can't Misbah play like Clarke and rotate the strike ? Clarke is also trying to rebuild the innings

 

[desi_launda]

Perera in

 

[Pantani]

Ominous signs for SL

Why cant the complete Pak team play like their AUS counterparts?

Because of the captain.

 

[adnan yasin]

wrong end malinga .. should have thrown at batting end

 

[OZGOD]

250-275 should be a decent score on this wicket. Doherty may actually do some damage

Becoz Clarke is miles better bat than Misbah lol

Man, please.

300 is ok to chase now days. If SL can restrict Aus to 300, they'll take it don't need Boult if we can restrict Aus to 300.

 

[adnan yasin]

Aussies are 2 down but rotating the strike

thats the key

it will release the pressure automatically

one more fielder should be in the circle .. they are not looking for boundaries

Australians tend to be very good at drop and run to get singles

If you believe you can chase 300 in sydney, then good on you. Here we are talking about Australian conditions not Nz pitches where Toss hardly matter. Australian pitches i.e.(especially in MCG, sydney and Adelaide) has been unfair to the team that chases. That is reason why Australia always bat first. Ask any australian posters.
