Sri Lankan Tour of Australia, October-November 2010/11

[aussie1st]

Finally we bring in a bowler that has control and we are starting to build the pressure again.

I can see the selectors using this poor few overs from Doherty to get Hauritz back in.

Even if the aussies do win this (which they still should) there is many concerning signs ahead of the ashes.

Sri Lanka's game to lose now. Siddle and Johnson bowling very poorly, Hastings has been the only one that has any idea this is an ODI.

Who's off the field for Starc to be fielding? Sneak him on for a few overs haha.

I see Malinga hit two sixes. That's pretty tough to do it in MCG.

If Sri Lanka pulls this off, we have seen two amazing runchases within three ODI's.

It's the sort of bowling that doesn't get tailenders out in Test matches either. You see Malinga fish outside off for 4 deliveries and then slog the one that drops short.

Marsh, has some back problems it seems. My God, Johnson just hit for 6,deadset he is a serious gamble these days.

I still cant believe the aussies could actually lose this. This is exactly why they shouldn't schedule these games before an ashes series lol.

Batsman on 64, can't really complain if he has the ability to use his feet at a 90mph ball and hit it. It's everything leading up to that moment that is a problem.

Yeah amaxing he was ICC cricketer of the year last year and Siddle was emerging player. Two most overrated bowlers in the world I reckon, Johnson is a joke half the time he cant land it on the pitch.

This is seriously unbelievable

ferg512 added 4 Minutes and 22 Seconds later...

That really is quite stupid with 6 overs to go to get one run

 

[aussie1st]

Well played SL, Malinga has been top notch in this partnership. Don't see much wrong in his technique and boy he can hit it.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Why did Malinga run on that ball? There were enough overs left.

I don't want to see a tie.

 

[angryangy]

Muralidaran emerges from his blanket like Daniel Craig emerging from the ocean.

 

[ferg512]

That is one of the biggest meltdowns I have ever witnessed

Congratulations to Sri Lanka though

Wow.... So Australia just chucked that game away... No chance for the World Cup.
