Commonwealth Bank Series Feb-Mar 2011/12

[Radonx]

And lacked the strike to get in to the gear.

 

[Sedition]

Just discovered why Nicholas never represented England after a million domestic games - he'd rather get out for 0, 1, 2 than 20's or so.

 

[aussie1st]

Absolute masterclass by Mahela, this is what we needed from our openers.

 

[Radonx]

Sanga always looks good while at the crease and then get out for a leading edge.

 

[Sedition]

Harris has been such a downer all summer, have to put Starc and McKay ahead of him from here.

Clarke bowling now, should bring Dave on the other end, just to piss Sifter off

 

[aussie1st]

Strange how Dussey is no longer being used.

 

[Sedition]

Yeah, scratching my head a bit, only bowled in one game this series.. even just 2 or 3 overs every other game would be good, especially after batting so well, why not chuck him the ball?

Actually, he's probably just saving him until the finals. Must be.

 

[aussie1st]

His bowling was meant to be the reason he was recalled too.

Doherty is really filling that spinners spot nicely, always seems to deliver in the middle overs. This pitch looks like the one where we could have played 2 spinners.

 

[Radonx]

That was a poor shot from Chandimal. He played well though.

 

[Sedition]

As I said, Harris is such a champion. Breakthrough wicket and held that catch well.

----------

Good call Tubs, Huss should've dived for that with no chance of catching it and gifting a 4.. Mathews gone next ball! Advantage Aus.

Spoke too soon

 

[Biggy]

Can't ever remember Christian being a death bowler...

 

[Sedition]

Some pretty terrible bowling there from Lee, Harris and Christian at the death. SL batted well though, so we were just outplayed really.

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

Well so thats almost end of hopes for us Indians

We have been so tweaking poor post world cup. We need some home games soon

So 3 matches left before the finals and India need to win both which means 18 points and then Sri Lanka to win the last against the Australians which means Sri Lanka and India play the finals.

If we even lose a match against Sri Lanka and win against Australia and Sri Lanka winning the match against Australia, we could still be out of the tournament seeing the poor run rate. so we just have simple thing, WIN BOTH THE MATCHES and qualify for finals

 

[aussie1st]

Christian has always been average at the death. Harris looked the best of the death bowlers, got the yorkers in when needed. Hilfy was okay as well so strange why he went to Christian.

 

[Radonx]

That's four wins in a row! Perera did for us this time. More of the same in next matches please!
