Australia won the toss and will field, Mathews is out and Chamara Silva is in, another change Shaminda Eranda for Herath

 

[Fireworks11]

Aussies have looked good. SL need to really up their game.

 

[ahamedirshad123]

When will Sanga and Mahela give chance to young players like Chandimal to come at no3?

 

[ahamedirshad123]

Moist and over cast condition

 

[ahamedirshad123]

Sri Lankan bowlers have taken a total of just 5 wickets in 2 games.

Sri Lanka's top 7 batters averages so far : 34,26,25,23,10,7 and 6.Can you win matches with that?

[Fireworks11]

250+ should be the aim for SL.

Russell Arnold has got to be the most boring commentator in the universe, he is so full of sh*t he speaks as though he is 100 percent certain. He is messing up the game for me.

azhar mehmood is cringe worthy

[Justcrazy]

Good thing is that so far they have not lost a wicket. ..........One of the openers must look to bat through. Thats a mistake they did in the first two games.

 

[Justcrazy]

Tharanga looking good after a long time.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sri Lanka....... must make this partnership count. They are looking so far.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sri Lanka 36/0 after 7 overs. .................

 

[Justcrazy]

Tharanga on 3961 runs 39 short of 4000.

 

[Justcrazy]

Tharanga 35 runs short now.

 

[Justcrazy]

.......... smack.

 

[Lara400]

Tharanga looking good after a long time.

He is all over the shop playing and missing, he has missed 8 deliveries and the commentators are scrathcing their heads thinking how he has not knicked it!!!!

 

[Justcrazy]

Tharanga 18 short ..........

 

[Justcrazy]

Sri lanka so far have done well, not to lose a wicket. that is important.

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[Justcrazy]

Tharanga........ has shown grit.

 

[Justcrazy]

77/0 after 16 overs..............


again

 

[Justcrazy]

The series will not end here..........Sri Lanka would do there best to win here.

 

[Justcrazy]

Tharanga 6 short............

 

[Justcrazy]

Sri Lanka right on top at the moment. This partnership is dangerous one. Australia need to break this, if this goes on for another 4 - 5 overs , Australia would be chasing 300 plus here.

 

[MVP26]

Australia need a breakthrough now

 

[Justcrazy]

Tharangaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa


4000 runs

 

[MVP26]

Tharanga is in good form

 

[Justcrazy]

117 / 0 after 21 sri lanka has a great chance of making it 320 here at least or thy would be disppointed.

 

[Justcrazy]

smackkkkkkkkkkkkkk

 

[MVP26]

both openers looking set for a hundred

 

[Justcrazy]

125 / 0 after 22 ........... Dilshan must be pleased so far.

 

[Justcrazy]

Bollinger is a very good bowler and underrated a lot.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sri Lanka have some batting still to come......... they can really have a feast here.

 

[MVP26]

I can see srilanka putting a score over 300

 

[MVP26]

platform set for an knslaught

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Bring on

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Watson pissed off and going at full flow

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

:4 by Sanga, shot boss

 

[ninjafirstslip]

thuranga playing like a champ

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Srilanka are scoring enough runs today, Ponting can get a century today hopefully

Man wish Mathews played today

 

[Amjid Javed]

If Sri lanka can get 260+ then for once we may get a competative Aussie run chase!

 

[ninjafirstslip]

Srilanka are scoring enough runs today, Ponting can get a century today hopefully

Man wish Mathews played today

lower order assault:umarakmal

 

[MVP26]

lots of batting to come

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Charu Sharma messing up everyone's names terrible commentator

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Srilanka can score 300+ the way Sanga is going, Tharanga needs to step up

 

[Amjid Javed]

Aussies will have to go after the Sri lankan spinners today which makes it a different ball game later. Its alot easier when you only have to score 3/4 runs an over compared to 6/7.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

:4 Sanga on fire

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

What do you guys think of Clarke's captaincy?

 

[Noman]

Watson was doing well with the bowl.. Sri Lanka eats spin .. Clarke gone for wrong option I feel:nj

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

I wish we could produce a player like tharanga

 

[Noman]

What do you guys think of Clarke's captaincy?

Clarke field placing has been spot on. And he has looked to attack when he had the chances.. But should not bowl spin to these batsman to much..

 

[Noman]

Leee bowling rubbish here

 

[Justcrazy]

Sri Lanka 187 / 1 after 35

in last 15 if they get run a ball it would be 290.

 

[Noman]

Sometimes I feel Watson is the most clever bowler in Aus team..

 

[ninjafirstslip]

sanga will start uping the anty.........300 very possible

 

[Justcrazy]

:congrats

 

[Justcrazy]

Sri Lanka would be disappointed if they do not get to 32. I mean it.

 

[Justcrazy]

sorry 320.

 

[Justcrazy]

PP taken......... very good decision. Sri lanka must look for at least 40 from this PP.

 

[style_guru]

I guess there'll be some people waiting outside the loo to collect Tharanga's pee after his innings

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

sanga gone

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Clarke field placing has been spot on. And he has looked to attack when he had the chances.. But should not bowl spin to these batsman to much..

Good observation

 

[MVP26]

300 strong possibility

 

[Justcrazy]

Bolllinger on a hatrickkkkkkkkkkk

 

[MVP26]

sangakarra deserved a fifty

 

[Justcrazy]

ooppppsssssssssssss mistake

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

chaddimal gone

 

[Justcrazy]

Australia backkkkkkkkkkkk

 

[Noman]

good catch by Clarke......

 

[MVP26]

good bowling by bollinger

 

[Noman]

I feel there was no reason to take the batting powerplay. Past experience have been batting power play is best at last 5 overs...

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Bolly bowling brilliantly

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

I feel there was no reason to take the batting powerplay. Past experience have been batting power play is best at last 5 overs...

True I have seen team losing 2-3 wickets in batting power play and at the end falls 20-30 runs short of their initial target.

 

[Noman]

300 strong possibility

Yeah,, Sri Lanka still have a chance or scoring 310 runs here...But Aus are looking sharp right now..

 

[Justcrazy]

Tharanga needs to bat through......

 

[Noman]

Sri Lanka should reach 300 here .. Otherwise poor afford by the lower order.. Tharanga need to go all out here..

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Tharanga scored his century should go style now
