Sri Lanka were never in that chase. A very good overall performance by the Australian team espically there spin bowlers.

So here we are this is what the standings look like half way through this 20/20 Series. Australia after their win against Sri Lanka are still on the bottom of these 3 sides, with just 3 points seperating them.
Sri Lanka and South Africa have both played 3 games, and with Sri Lanka beating South Africa on both occasions is why their sitting 1st between the 3 sides. Australia are to face Sri Lanka again in the up coming match at Adelaide, and if they can pull off a win their, it sets up to be a tale finish against South Africa, and Australia could pull their way through. Australia have one bonus point next to their name during this time, and if they can beat Sri Lanka on Sunday, the could move up into 1st spot.

It's very tight but Australia have got to win if they want to go through. Australia v South Africa is the final I wanted but oh well, Sri Lanka are on course to get there. Brilliant presentation mate, keep it up.

Wow this is a tight series. I think Australia can still have that game in hand which means they can still hit the top.

Awesome presentation mate kiu!

Australia have got the Saffers exactly where they want them although the Sri Lankans have a few wickets in hand. They need to blast through these last overs and put up at least 100. You said the pitch isn't getting much better which means if Australia get to the score and bypass it, it won't be an easy affair.

Great presentation as normal, Roo, enjoying this story very much.

Remember to spellcheck your work before posting. I see a few spelling mistakes.

Anyway, a win is important for Australia but a good batting performance is also vital to take some good form into the match against South Africa. They should chase it down easily, but I reckon they'll lose 4 wickets and win by 6 wickets. You never know though, South Africa aren't totally out of it.

Loving the presentation, mate, very good writing also.

Phil Jaques was simply fantastic and batted extremely quickly whilst Brad Haddin was more of a support player. Nice opening pair, Australia have there. Australia versus South Africa will be an awesome game and one I look to very much.

Brilliant presentation and good looking scorecard. Hopefully you'll start doing them more often and improving this already quality story.
