Sri Lanka v Australia | 2nd ODI | Adelaide

[TM Riddle]

200 looks possible now .

 

[Justcrazy]

135 / 6 after 38 overs

 

[TM Riddle]

kulasekra into the attack..let's see what he s got

 

[vandokkum]

That was a beautiful shot. Went to the boundary like a rocket launcher- Ravi Shastri

 

[vandokkum]

This match is now win-win for me. If SL wins it would liven up the series , but if OZ wins then I will be a richer man

 

[Kwremb]

It's tracer bullet

 

[Justcrazy]

11 overs left , Aussies should aim another 50 runs here.

 

[vandokkum]

It's tracer bullet

I am pretty sure I have heard him make some rocket related analogies too. I doubt he thinks twice before he says something on air.

 

[TM Riddle]

gone ..Malinga strikes..

 

[vandokkum]

Cutting out

 

[TM Riddle]

good innings from cutting.

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[TM Riddle]

another one ...Malinga you beauty

 

[TM Riddle]

Richardson is out...Malinga on a hattrick

 

[Justcrazy]

SL have a great opportunity to keep aussies down to a low score here

 

[TM Riddle]

140/8

 

[TM Riddle]

and he misses it

 

[Justcrazy]

140 / 8

 

[TM Riddle]

cool signature JC bro!

 

[Kwremb]

Why was that out? Nothing was there on hotspot

 

[vandokkum]

Retarded use of DRS.

 

[Ravi.]

DRS fail lol

 

[khalil1986]

DRS fail lol

Expected from an Indian however would you please elaborate how DRS has messed up here?

 

[khalil1986]

Why was that out? Nothing was there on hotspot

Who hires these so called elite umpires, decisions like this what causes problems, the third umpire Richard Kettleborough should be fired for such a stupid decision.

No idea, I dunno why snicko isn't used in DRS

 

[rooster]

DRS fail lol

Umpires failed, not DRS.

 

[khalil1986]

No idea, I dunno why snicko isn't used in DRS

I think it takes around 20 minutes or so for snicko to generate a result, don't know why but remember one commentator mentioning it in a test in England

 

[SL_Fan]

From 80 odd for 6 to 170. SL should have done better. Should have kept Aus to under 150. It won't be an easy chase for sure. Still a bit of juice in the wicket.

Don't think it's 20 mins but yeah apparently it takes a while.

 

[OZGOD]

Well we will see how good our bowling depth is in the 2nd innings. Disappointing batting effort but let's see what we can do with the ball.

 

[cricket sport]

170 all out . B team will always be a B team

 

[MarkCooper]

 

[rooster]

Wow Tharanga gone cheaply again

 

[SL_Fan]

Wow Tharanga gone cheaply again

It would have been wow if he was still there lol got to be the worst opener going around. Top class fisherman. The best out there.

 

[SL_Fan]

This should be Tharanga's cricinfo profile pic

 

[khalil1986]

Tharanga has also batted in middle order hasn't he and from what I recall he did ok too.

 

[SL_Fan]

Hopefully that's the end of UT. Can't seem to shake the guy off. Just keeps coming back into the team.

 

[SL_Fan]

Tharanga has also batted in middle order hasn't he and from what I recall he did ok too.

Yeah not too bad in the middle order when the ball is not doing any thing. But we already have too many middle order nudgers and nurdlers. Hopefully Karuna gets a go soon. Looked good in the Tests.

 

[SL_Fan]

MJ needs to open. He's a genuine match winner at the top. Otherwise he's useless. He seems to go into his shell in the middle and ends up gifting his wicket away most of the time.

 

[SL_Fan]

These new ODI rules will hurt the spinners I reckon. Two new balls and max 4 fielders outside the circle will make it very tough for the spinners. Part timers who dart the ball in will probably be preferred.

 

[Random Aussie]

Neither Cutting or Richardson look very impressive to me, Cutting looks a little better but both meh.

Rubbish team deserves to lose this game

 

[khalil1986]

Part timers will struggle the most, top class spinners I imagine will have more chance to put batsman under pressure as there won't be as many easy singles on due to extra fielder in ring ie for example someone who isn't reading Ajmal will find it difficult to rotate strike nevermind trying to hit him for boundaries.

 

[SL_Fan]

Shot Thiri :4 50 up

Ajmal darts it in most of the time so he should do ok. I'm just saying that part timers will probably be preferred over a specialist spinner because of the extra batting option as well.

 

[Justcrazy]

Easy win for SL

 

[Justcrazy]

Sri Lanka require another 109 runs with 9 wickets and 33.0 overs remaining

 

[Justcrazy]

Very good partnership here, taking SL real close of a win

 

[khalil1986]

You are right in regards to Ajmal who doesn't give it much flight but my point stands as recently seen in the Pak V Ind series, part timers will be a liability and could be taken for plenty for example look at Hafeez even with the new rules he must have been the most economical out of all the bowlers and he deffo doesn't dart the ball.

 

[SL_Fan]

Close call

 

[Justcrazy]

Sl need to keep cool.

 

[SL_Fan]

Hafeez I would say darts it in wicket to wicket a lot of the time especially when the batsmen look to go after him.

 

[Justcrazy]

Close , Dilshan survives

 

[SL_Fan]

Warnie's love child comes into the attack

 

[Kwremb]

Hafeez flights it more than Ajmal

 

[Justcrazy]

Smith in now

 

[Justcrazy]

three d0t balls

 

[Justcrazy]

Sri Lanka require another 106 runs with 9 wickets and 31.0 overs remaining

 

[SL_Fan]

Haddin out Hughes takes the gloves. WTH is going on in Aus? Injuries left,right and centre for Aus, SL and SA as well.

 

[MarkCooper]

Tuk Tuk game

 

[SL_Fan]

Dilly missed out on that one.

 

[Justcrazy]

SL on top here.

 

[SL_Fan]

Good glove work by Hughes.

 

[SL_Fan]

Why can't they have Chappell commentating the whole time. Only decent one left now in ch9.

 

[SL_Fan]

Shot Thiri :4

 

[Sherlock]

Cannot believe Australia's team/squad selection.

Yes we know players are tired but they don't have the same players they did say 10+ years ago.

 

[khalil1986]

Hafeez I would say darts it in wicket to wicket a lot of the time especially when the batsmen look to go after him.

Nah I disagree Hafeez does not really dart the bowl at all, he isn't Swann in his flight but he still gives it decent air.

 

[khalil1986]

Haddin out Hughes takes the gloves. WTH is going on in Aus? Injuries left,right and centre for Aus, SL and SA as well.

Ironically CA have been doing their best to bubble wrap their players too.

 

[rooster]

Ajmal darts it in most of the time so he should do ok. I'm just saying that part timers will probably be preferred over a specialist spinner because of the extra batting option as well.

Ajmal is a clever bowler, he may not get many wickets but he'll survive in most conditions and situations.

Both England and Aussies are rotating their bowlers because of back to back ashes but Aussies are over doing a bit it seems.

 

[Kwremb]

Hafeez is a smart customer :ramiz

 

[Random Aussie]

Smith is actually bowling pretty well

 

[khalil1986]

He has been getting his fair share of wickets.

 

[Random Aussie]

Our players can't stay on the park, it's not rotation at work.

 

[khalil1986]

Hafeez is a smart operator :ramiz

Fixed.

BTW absolutely despise Ramiz's commentary, look up the word cringeworthy in the dictionary and Ramiz Raja will be there.

 

[rooster]

I'm not sure but they are definitely over doing it

 

[leatherface58]

Lankans have come back well.

 

[rooster]

Thirimanne got his top score in ODIs.

 

[Kwremb]

Fixed.

BTW absolutely despise Ramiz's commentary, look up the word cringeworthy in the dictionary and Ramiz Raja will be there.

I think it's smooth operator :ramiz

 

[rooster]

Thirimanne got his top score in ODIs.

and List A as well.

 

[khalil1986]

Your probably right LOL
