Well Hussey is in now. What a freak dismissal for Symonds and very unlucky. Fantastic knock from Symonds and Martyn. Reminds me of the Kabir Ali dismissal in a warm up match against Pak A.
 
i second that Angry.

What a top innings from Australia. Awesome stuff from Katich, Symonds, Martyn Hussey and Clarke.

When was Hussey last dismissed in an ODI?
 
I am also quite optimistic that Sri Lanka won't bat out their overs but hope they will at least show some fight. First I thought Ponting's captaince was bad, then Smith and now Attapattu has to be one of the worst going around. His field placements were poor and didn't support his bowlers at all. The Perera lad looks like a pretty good bowler and was the only Sri Lankan bowler who bowled pretty decent.
 
I was looking forward to seeing some Murali magic,but all i saw was rubbish down leg side. Vaas was aweful too!Get it right guys! Great batting by Symo,pity that Clarke got in the way.
 
Looks like I will be switching to the Simpsons and Futurama now as the game is all but over. Another easy win to the Aussies and pathetic stuff by the Sri Lankans.
 
I have no idea why Sri Lanka fielded. They are now chasing over 300 and have pretty much given up as they arn't even trying to score runs. Lee will get all the credit but its the tidyness of McGrath who has made the run rate impossible. Lee was fantastic in that first over.

This is pretty boring. At least Sri Lanka should try to go out with a bang to get some conferdance. Theres no use just standing their blocking all day.

I still, I just can't understand why they would want to field. Their batting lineup is very weak when it comes to hitting fours and sixes. Not having Jaysuria makes it even worse. Unless Sri Lanka find some players who can hit the ball over the top and over the ropes, they have no chance against the top 6 teams.

I wonder if SL have ever chased a 300 score before. Or how many times they have won a match chasing. I guess hardly ever if ever.

Pssssst. Punter... Hogg sucks. Get Symonds on to bowl whats left. Sri Lanka is good against spin also.
 
The Sri Lankans chose to field so they could take advantage of the super sub. But it balances out because Hogg is Aus super sub and since Aus was gonna bowl second they could use him.
 
Yeah, I am not a big fan of Katich either. Hes been pretty handy lately. He needs to make one of the starts count and make a big score, like a 100. Too many times he goes out in the 50's and 60's. He does the opening job well though.

Australia have 1 hour to bowl 17 overs I believe. hmmmm.

I can't believe they didn't attack Bracken, hes slow and easy to hit over the top.
