The VB Series 2006

[Sando]

Hahahaha another ridiculous run out! It's very unlike the Aussies to toss an important game away but I suppose it is one day cricket, and isolated moments of maddness can be crucial.

This is just pathetic. New rule, don't run on Dilshan throw! What a pathetic looking scorecard. Also to Ponting how do you like the supersub rule now

 

[genghis_khan]

my god...i would laugh except for the fact that im an australian fan, and they are making complete arses of themselves!

what's the record for the most runouts in an ODI innings by a single fielder?

 

[aussie1st]

Some guy at another forum told me a NZ guy has 7 run outs. I'm sure if Andrew were here he would know
Ok new rule, just stay away from Dilshan hes just freaky tonight.
By God I hope we win the toss in Sydney as I can't see us winning if we don't. But cmon Clarke you can do it!

Oh dam, someone stay with Clarke!

 

[irottev]

Sri Lanka should win now.

Supersubs suck.

 

[genghis_khan]

if Ponting loses the toss at the SCG thats just about it...because i cant see the australian attack bowling out the Lankans for a low score there...particularly if Jaysuriya fires

 

[irottev]

Lee should bat above Hogg.

They could do it but the odds are definatly against them. Clarke and Lee are capable, 1 mistake and its over though. God Healy is the biggest sook.

 

[James219]

No I think Hogg is better before Lee. Hogg is quite a good lower-order bat, and despite Lee's improvements, can usually be more effective in terms of rotating the strike and staying at the crease.

wow sri lanka have done well to get this far never thought i'd see them in the finals but now they even have a chance of winning the series. i dont know what was wrong in the NZ series they are getting back in form and hopefully will keep it up. sangakara playin well too thats his 6th 50 in 11 matches

 

[barmyarmy]

Big advantage batting first again in this match.

 

[aussie1st]

Hogg is the better batter of the two and is more reliable usually. Aus will need some big hitting somewhere as the gap between runs requried and balls left is +23. They also need to do it without getting out which will be tricky. Clarke I feel needs to do the hitting.

 

[genghis_khan]

Yes its all up to Clarke now although its looking nigh on impossible

we all know Lee can be a big hitter but i think Clarke is better equipped at this stage.

 

[pali1]

they dont seem to be geting out but they have to start hitting it if they want to win

.....lee has to get out when i say that lol, they cant win now

 

[irottev]

Bracken should of been out for a duck, bad umpiring decision that.

And all over, it didn't cost them anything.

Wow pressur eon Australia. I still back therm to win.

 

[aussie1st]

Same result SL win.
Katich needed to carry on with his start but like half our team, we need to learn how to run. Our bowlers didn't do much better, we didn't get the early wickets and SL made us pay late on.
