It does, as I said anything under 240/50 is more than obtainable. Although, Sri Lanka have rebuilt well and they will be looking for at least 260 plus.

Monty bowling poorly, has to be said, I await SPs gloating with bated breath
Honestly though, this is a 280+ wicket really, not sure why the Lankans went so conservatively for a while, they could of racked up a much more formidable total, if they'd gone guns blazing.
I guess it just shows how important the saj wickets were, with two top players out, they felt they needed too consolidate.
Of course according to some, wickets don't matter in ODIs

Funny you would say such a thing on the day Collingwood give his worst performance with the ball (up until his second spell
).

Couldn't agree more, games like this bore the hell out of everyone. I'd quite like it to be mandatory that at least one of the PowerPlays be taken after the 20th over, TBH, seeing as captains haven't cottoned on yet to the reasons why they were introduced.

Tharanga gone, makes his innings a whole lot less effective. Onya Fred.

I'm resigned to "watching" through the Grauniad and Cricinfo 
It seems as though the outfield's pretty sandy, with lofted shots just stopping short of the boundaries.
Bugger. You see? That's why Tharanga was playing it cool

Yeah, we all know how bad they are.
He's not made a single-digit score in one-day cricket since England A toured the subcontinent in March 2005 (and averages 57, slogfests or not). He's clearly grown as a batsman since then, but his OD average is still dire (well, 29) because a) Essex wouldn't consider him in 2005 due to the runs he didn't get in early April 2004 and b) Essex couldn't play him in 2006 because he was playing international cricket.
Can agree that he can't hit singles though. (Which doesn't stop them selecting Bell and Vaughan.)
