CB Series | Australia vs Sri Lanka | 12th Match | | Melbourne

[velu]

Aussies have better chance against india than against lanka

 

[IAJ]

97 runs requrired from 18 overs.

Australia still have the batting PP to come. All they need is to play out Malinga.

SL on the other had just need one more wicket to really get into the tail.

Interesting match.

 

[velu]

another wicket

 

[Justcrazy]

I am back, 2 wickets ........ Aussies 151 / 6

 

[Romali_rotti]

Time for the Indians to start getting ready for the Asia cupp...

 

[Justcrazy]

88 more required ......

 

[spaceshot]

Good stuff.
SL should ideally proceed to finals than India. SL can prove to be a better competitor than India atm.

 

[Justcrazy]

SL can sniff something here.

 

[jattafridi]

easy win for Australia

 

[Justcrazy]

Still there is chance for both teams, all 3 results possible.

 

[Justcrazy]

It will be a close match.

Aussies need another 80 runs in 15 overs

Wickets are key here.

[velu]

:4 for hussey

 

[velu]

Aussies need another 67 runs

 

[IAJ]

Only 13 runs in 3 PP overs. Come on SL!

They are missing two key bowlers in Perera og Mathews.

 

[IAJ]

Come on Kula, 5 good balls, don't give away a boundary now.

 

[IAJ]

Maiden!

 

[Romali_rotti]

HAHAH Hussey plays out a maiden and has a big smile on his face, prolly a hint to the Indians to pack their bags lol...

 

[velu]

Aussies need 61 from last 10 overs

 

[IAJ]

Aussies are still favourites.

SL need Hussey's wicket. This Pattinson lad looks good with the bat too.

 

[Strike!]

Some guy holding up a sign saying "Dhoni, Stop crying"

 

[IAJ]

bye bye Pattinson

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[Munna]

this is now more in favor of Sri lanka!

 

[Justcrazy]

Malinga overs will be key ......... If he gets it right he will be lethal.

 

[Justcrazy]

Good over by SL

 

[Munna]

one got to give credit to Jayawardene... one of the most shrewd captains in world cricket today! he is still attacking with catching positions at this stage of the match whereas many other captains would have opted to save runs and then put pressure!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Whilst Hussey is there Aussies have a chance.

 

[Amjid Javed]

How come this brilliant captaincy wasnt on display in last game?

 

[talha3]

The Sri Lankan support is just amazing.

 

[velu]

200 up for aussies

 

[Fireworks11]

cricinfo:

"If Hussey pulls it through for Australia, the Indians will forgive him for the ball handling incident!"

 

[velu]

Aussied need 34 in 5 overs

 

[Amjid Javed]

34 needed from 30, all down to Hussey here!

 

[Down2Earth]

sri lankan bowlers are so rubbish, probably worse than india's attack and that's some achievement!

 

[velu]

29 needed in 4 overs..

 

[shortbread]

Its amazing how the art of chasing has changed.
Teams now a days have a sniff of hope despite being 6 or 7 down. The idea is to play out the overs with singles and twos, then look for a couple of big overs.

No score is big enough now a days.

 

[Munna]

How come this brilliant captaincy wasnt on display in last game?

huh? even imran khan had terrible days in his career! remember those embarrassing defeats in the group stages in 92' world cup?

and abt the last match, it was one of the most flattest of pitches in one of the more smaller grounds of cricket... and then your best bowlers having the worst of days and going 10+ rpo .... things wouldn't be too much in your hands as a captain!
