Yelling at my TV here. Bracken should not bowl around the wicket. Bowls three balls around - 9 runs. Goes over - takes a wicket. ...then goes back around? You knob-cheese.

What was the gaurd of honour for Murali about?

 

[Nate]

Haha, ridiculously perfect wicket-balls by Bracken at the end. Still maintain he should do that from over.

 

[Jnr.]

What was the gaurd of honour for Murali about?

It's Murali's last game in Australia.

 

[sideshowtim]

Bracken is God. Continues his complete and utter ownage of Sri Lanka. 35 wickets at 12.

What was the gaurd of honour for Murali about?

Not sure,but Murali had a grin from ear to ear.

Not sure,but Murali had a grin from ear to ear.

It will be Murali's last game in Australia most likely, hence the guard of honour.

Fair enough, with all the grins the players were earing, I thought they were taking the piss out of him.

They mentioned on the radio that Murali might have cracked a joke whilst going through or something. Nice gestures from the Australian team and also good effort from SL to get the score back up to a semi-respectable position after being in a heap of trouble earlier on.

 

[pasag]

Gilchrist 50 off 35 balls. Was plumb LBW to Murali a bit earlier and nearly got cleaned up by Malinga a few times but entertaining stuff nontheless. Wish I could have gone

 

[Burgey]

Even by Gilchrist's lofty standards, this is an amazing innings notwithstanding the earlier lb shout by Murali. Currently 76 n.o. from 45 balls. Hopes is a spectator (24 from 33).

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Nice to see Gilchrist ending his ODI career on such a high note. Hope he has a big finals series.

Murali getting murdered out there.

 

[thierry henry]

Thank God Gilchrist is out, that was an ugly collection of nicks and lofted slices even by his standards.

 

[pasag]

Sad to see him leaving the greatest stadium in the world, especially with him still able to play like that. Gun final innings there, put the match result out of question.

 

[pasag]

Hmm, that was unexpected. Can't remember Clarke being bowled playing a proper shot in ODIs in ages.

 

[duffer]

OMG IT'S ALIVE!!

Would love to see Sanath and Murali go out on a high.

5 down now!

 

[duffer]

Oh and **** off to Healy for his "Australia looking to do it in 35 overs, they need a challenge" ****e.

 

[pasag]

Haha, oh dear.

 

[Jamee999]

Australia aren't very good

 

[duffer]

Lucky lucky lucky. Sri Lanka messed that up. Aussie batsmen under huge pressure here. Last 5 overs 2/3. Would love to see the trajectory of the worm now
