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

[Justcrazy]

Lanka need to keep on taking wickets , Aussies bat deep

 

[PakWC1992]

A real bits and pieces side Australia

Watson, Maxwell, Faulker and Haddin at 5, 6, 7, 8.

 

[adnan yasin]

86-1 in 20.1 overs

 

[Chrish]

run rate is bit low..

 

[adnan yasin]

Stage will be set for Maxwell to unleash his reverse sweep madness

 

[adnan yasin]

They were going good but now bit bogged down a bit

 

[yasir]

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.

That is true, ball does more in evening, there is no dew. It's hard to chase 300.

India was very lucky to win those two tosses. I was down when we loss toss at Adelaide, we needed that luck.

Unfortunately toss is going to be vital in knockout games in Australia.

this will release the pressure

No it's not. The wicket is a bit slow and they don't want to take stupid risks and be out for 180. They don't need to play like Adridi when there are easy safe singles to get. Plenty of time to have a flog later.

Yeah but at least gotta rotate the strike.. Too many dot balls

first for Clarke

They need a solid batsman at 5, not one of them is. Should have selected Shaun Marsh or Adam Voges

 

[adnan yasin]

haha ... good fielding by malinga

 

[OZGOD]

Plenty of time to accelerate later. Unlike Pakistani fans we don't slit our wrists when the run rate drops. These two are pretty good at rotating the strike anyway

good partnership developing here.

 

[Thivagar]

If not careful Smith or Clarke can lose a wicket to Dilshan

 

[Lankan]

Dilly in..must break this partnership

 

[yeh cheez]

Dilshan introduced into the attack

 

[OZGOD]

Dilshan bowling a bit too straight

Lankan bowling is just rubbish .It wholly depends on how much step up.

Step up with their batting I mean

SL back to sloppy fielding

 

[OZGOD]

Horrible fielding from Tharanga gives away a couple runs

[Random Aussie]

Because of the captain.

You have zero clue mate

 

[FreeBird]

The way these two are playing is amazing.

Just a pool of non-stop energy to keep taking singles - just non-stop movement.

 

[Random Aussie]

Very happy Herath the Destroyer hurt himself. He would have been very tough to play on this pitch.

 

[Justcrazy]

Australia setting up platform for final blast here.

You can keep all the clues to yourself.

good going by Australia, RR is almost 5

 

[Buffet]

No wickets in middle overs may cost SL big time. Aus can pile on runs in second half.

Sure, if you keep your posts to yourself. But here's a free clue, our ODI side has had three different captains this summer, what difference did it make to how the rest of the team played? Zero.

 

[OZGOD]

Mathews tries to bounce Smiffy but bowling at 110kmh it's not very threatening

Here is a clue, replace Pakistan captain Misbah with Michael Clarke and see if our batsmen start playing differently?

 

[OZGOD]

280 I reckon that's what they will end at

The reason Aus bats first is we like putting runs on the board early.

Hows Clarkey's been going guys?

Seems to get himself to a decent score so far. Scratchy innings or has he looked fluent?

100 partnership b/w Clarke and Smith!

 

[OZGOD]

I think the issue is more with how your batsmen play than who the captain is. You could have ABDV or Macca captain them and they will play the same way.

pretty pathetic clue.

need to be better in finding your clues

 

[dildilpak]

Good partnership between Clarke and Smith. They are really hammering SL Trundlers. SL bowling has been a big joke this WC.

 

[Iffitheking]

Clark is on fire...

 

[Zechariah]

Misbah should watch these two batting today and learn thing or two. Misbah is such an intelligent player all we need is a strike rate of 80 and not freaking 55.

ABDV is a rubbish captain.. Big Mac can turn around any team it seems these days..

 

[Zechariah]

If Maxwell gets going...350

 

[OZGOD]

Someone earlier was saying we were playing too many dot balls. It's about not losing wickets when you've just lost a couple then when you've consolidated you can flog them around

Aussies looking good and Clarke on song

Perfect time to tune in

Kapil Dev in Hindi commentary called today's lankan attack as time pass one

Why just Misbah, and not the rest of the team?

B-Mac us just flavor of the month,

He just had very good bowlers to work with

My point is that the captain doesn't instruct the batsmen on how to bat...you have to identify players who can rotate the strike and drop and run and nudge the ball around

320 plus most likely if these two stay till the end of power play

our current players are like a herd of sheep that has no idea about its destination - they need a tough sheep dog in the name of a powerful personality for a captain to stay on track.
