[shahidafridi123]

[Fireworks11]

I want a competitive game, that's all I ask for.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

sri lanka will win...they gifted wickets last time. It wont happen again with people like sangakkara and djayawardne.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sri Lanka should win this one.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

[kingusama92]

I don't care who wins as long as Punter does well.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

i want hussey special tonight those are always incredible to watch

 

[Justcrazy]

Sri Lanka Win the Toss and Bat

 

[Justcrazy]

Ranadiv dropped, its harsh on him really.......... he gets the bounce and rip.

 

[Justcrazy]

Lee starts the proccedings.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

randiv would have gotten carved up by watto when the ball gets older

 

[Justcrazy]

tharanga on 3932 runs can he get to 4000 here

 

[Justcrazy]

Dilshan looking in good touch. Sri Lanka should get to at least 250.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

dilshan prolific since captaincey

 

[Justcrazy]

Dilshan 17 from 14 balls.......

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[Justcrazy]

again....... dilshan 21 from 16.............

 

[ninjafirstslip]

silly captaincey watson only gets wickets against us nowadays

 

[Justcrazy]

28 for no loss after 5 ........ good going

 

[Justcrazy]

Tharanga now on 3942 runs

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[Justcrazy]

Lee strikes............ wicket number 351.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

lee what a beast still going strong

 

[OZGOD]

Dilshan

 

[Seen Sheen]

Reverse swing.

 

[Justcrazy]

Australia have done well so far, kept a check on the proceedings,

 

[Justcrazy]

Its evens stevens at the moment.

 

[OZGOD]

Tharanga

2/41

 

[ninjafirstslip]

good start by sri lanka me thinks a total of 260 + is on and very difficult

 

[ninjafirstslip]

jaya is key get him out early and you have the game.

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[Justcrazy]

This partnership needs to stay there till 25th over. Its a must.

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[Justcrazy]

Lee is bowling well these days.

 

[Random Aussie]

Pulling them back now.

And no Murali to chuck into the attack later

 

[ninjafirstslip]

beastly pace being used here

 

[Justcrazy]

53 / 2 .......... after 13 . These two must stay there for another 10 overs , even if they get another 40 - 45 runs. that would be an ideal launching pad for the rest.

 

[Cricfan4eva]

Going down the same way like 1st ODI, they'll struggle their way through to 200 and Oz will chase it off with ease.

Unless of course there is a Sanga/Mahela special innings.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Going down the same way like 1st ODI, they'll struggle their way through to 200 and Oz will chase it off with ease.

Unless of course there is a Sanga/Mahela special innings.

They look on course for another famous partnership.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Johnson is getting some nice drift away from the right hander.

 

[Seen Sheen]

59-2 (15).

Drinks!

 

[Justcrazy]

59 / 2 after 15...........

 

[Justcrazy]

Bollinger has bowled well so far........... 5 overs for 17..... any captain would take it.

 

[Cricfan4eva]

They look on course for another famous partnership.

Jinxed



What a poor shot by Mahela, if he wanted to hit it should've given it full force, alas just a catching practice. SL look so ordinary over-all without Murali.

 

[Justcrazy]

Doherty strikes a crucial wicket here............

DPMD Jayawardene c MEK Hussey b Doherty 17 (30b 1x4 0x6) SR: 56.66.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sri Lanka need a partnership desperately .........

 

[ninjafirstslip]

beast pace plus good catch Aus are going to win this.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Sri lanka struggling to put up a decent total again for their bowlers to try and defend.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sri Lanka 135/4 (35.0 ov)

 

[Justcrazy]

Sri Lanka looking good for 250 plus, if Sangakara stays there till 45 th over......it can be even more.

 

[Cricfan4eva]

If there isn't any collapse, 240 looks on card. Good total to defend under lights with Malinga and Mendis at disposal.

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[Justcrazy]

Big Blow Sangakara goneeeeeeee

 

[Justcrazy]

142 /5 from 37 overs........ Sri Lanka need to get the run rate up.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

sanga played with good fight respect.

 

[Justcrazy]

Kulasekra can do the damage here with 8 overs to go.......

 

[Justcrazy]

can Sri Lanka add another 40 runs ..........

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[Justcrazy]

Sri Lanka should look to bat out the 50 overs.

 

[Justcrazy]

Kulasekra 25 from 17 ............doing a good job.

 

[Justcrazy]

Kulasekra is pretty effective hitter down the order a under rated player by many

 

[Justcrazy]

Four overs to go can Sri Lanka get it to 215

 

[OZGOD]

Chasing 208 to win

 

[Fawad2010]

In the 1st ODI AUS chased down 191. I think the pitch is a bit worse for batting but AUS can chase it easily

 

[ninjafirstslip]

simple chase aus will win bowling is lacking...malinga not in form.

 

[Fawad2010]

^ never count out Malinga and the 100 spinners they have..

 

[Justcrazy]

sri lanka should be disappointed with this. They are at least 20 runs short of a defendable target.

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[Justcrazy]

Sri lanka need more of those to be back in the game.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pointing on 13459 runs ............

 

[rajan70]

Ponting scoring runs with ease. What a pathetic bowling on display!

 

[ninjafirstslip]

ponting back in form will he mount a late attack on SRT fanboys!

 

[James]

Even England beat this lot 3-2 home and away. Aussies were always favourites contrary to popular PP opinion.

 

[Poison]

Sri Lanka have a very poor batting lineup nowadays ... that Jeevan Mendis guy looks a joke batsman, I'll give Chandimal the benefit of the doubt at the moment though.

 

[Fawad2010]

Ponting scoring runs with ease. What a pathetic bowling on display!

pot...kettle...black?

 

[ninjafirstslip]

pot...kettle...black?

) :kami not very nice.

 

[MRSN]

I have rarely seen Watson failing to give Australia a good start,what a player!

 

[Fawad2010]

what a ball!!

 

[Fawad2010]

reverse swing!

linga

 

[Fawad2010]

Watson goes for 43
