[Justcrazy]

Forrest looks a composed player, should be in the Test Team as well, worth a try.

48 /2 | 11 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

Spin time now, Hearath comes in.

[VolcanicAsh]

Nice job Justcrazy, who do you think will win? This is just crazy but my bet is on Sri Lanka. Awful decision by Aus not to play their best player Watto.

 

[Justcrazy]

70 / 2 | 17 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

@Volcanicash Do not know who will win..... by the way watson not fully fit I think.

 

[VolcanicAsh]

TUK TUK TUK TUK Misbah has even influenced the Aussies, the power of the man, ASTONISHING.

[velu]

After a long time Pointing not in the Team , new beginning for Aussies here.

good news for us

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Peter Forest strike rate of 60 This is 2012 not 1992

 

[Justcrazy]

Aussies have some sort of Plan here..... They are keeping wickets in hand for the final assault.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

With 25 more overs to go, Forest should just throw his wicket away with David Hussey and Christian to come. Forest has played 50+ dot balls

 

[Justcrazy]

100 up here

 

[Justcrazy]

Mendis should be in the team ...... herath is too predictive.

 

[Justcrazy]

105 / 2 |26 ........

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[Justcrazy]

With wickets in hand Aussies can push to 275 here

 

[Justcrazy]

SL need wickets .....

 

[Justcrazy]

:6 smashed .

 

[Justcrazy]

If SL do not get wickets soon, they will be chasing a big target

 

[Justcrazy]

118 / 2 | 27 overs

 

[Lalafied]

132/2 | 31 ov.

 

[Justcrazy]

132 / 2 after 31

 

[Justcrazy]

@welcome Lala to PP

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Shouldn't have taken powerplay with Forest here, they should have saved it for David Huss and Dan Chris

 

[Justcrazy]

Very very good batting by Aussies here.

 

[Justcrazy]

There is no way SL can win this game........ I will bet my house

 

[Justcrazy]

138 / 2 | 32 overs

[Justcrazy]

Aussies looking at 280 again.

 

[Justcrazy]

Good , solid batting by Aussies here, SL bowling looking toothless at the moment.

Forrest looks some serious talent.

 

[Justcrazy]

SL selectors must find better bowlers..... they are just looking to pack the team with all rounders.

 

[Justcrazy]

Foresst can easily get into Test Team, deserves a try.

 

[Justcrazy]

The pitch is a beauty , 300 can be chased, if a batsman sets himself up here, a hundred is there for the taking.

 

[paulkatich]

Foresst can easily get into Test Team, deserves a try.

He is definitely better than marsh.

 

[Justcrazy]

:6

 

[OZGOD]

Good knock from Forrest, showing Australians why he deserves a spot in the side on form at the moment.

 

[OZGOD]

He is definitely better than marsh.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. The bloke's had a few matches so far. He's in good form but consistency is where it's at.

 

[OZGOD]

SL selectors must find better bowlers..... they are just looking to pack the team with all rounders.

It's pretty much the same side that rolled the OZ for a pittance in Sydney though. What they need is consistency.

 

[OZGOD]

With 25 more overs to go, Forest should just throw his wicket away with David Hussey and Christian to come. Forest has played 50+ dot balls

Why would he do that? He's a set batsman who is now hitting at a strike rate of 73. I'm sure if he's around at the death it will be closer to 80. Once you are set you can milk the runs and then set up for an assault in the death overs, rather than letting new batsmen have to do it from the get go Afridi style.
