*Official* Sri Lanka in Australia 2010

[Flem274*]

Australia should still win this. The way these two are playing one of them (most likely Malinga) will make a screw up. Only Murali to come who could stick around and hit out but could also be skittled easily.

Australia *should* win.

If Sri Lanka keep playing positively they'll be sweet. The closer they get the more nervous they'll get and they could let the bowlers get back on top. Means not being reckless but still pounding the ball when it's in the zone.

 

[Burgey]

Go Sri Lanka.

Clarke's captaincy is looking pretty flaccid right now.

What do you recommend he does though? Captain is entitled to think that between six or so bowlers one of them might grow a brain. Some of the stuff from Siddle especially has been pus.

I love Sid but he massively over does the "I'm a fast bowler and Imma gonna bounnnnnce youuuuuuuu" ****.

Haha Australia have a history of doing this. I remember Srinath and Kumble putting on 50 odd for the 9th wicket in Bangalore in the Titan Cup to take us home. Sachin got an 80 odd in the same game.

We definitely have had a couple recently, but we're not unique in that.

 

[Ruckus]

There goes Starc's international career.

Yeah, but we said that against India as well. They've also got a fair few overs left, so if need be they may go on the defence.

 

[Matt79]

Hastings doing a decent job tbh.

Yeah, definitely.

Starc isn't playing..

 

[Jono]

Missed a catch as sub fielder

 

[Prince EWS]

Starc isn't playing..

He's fielding.

 

[Matt79]

**** off greigy - -"always spruiking something.

 

[Flem274*]

Ah right.

 

[Matt79]

Siddle doing a **** job here however.

 

[Ruckus]

33 runs, one can only laugh. Unbelievable come back. Sri Lanka have got this.

 

[Furball]

Siddle doesn't have a brain.

 

[irottev]

Clarke shoulda bowled Smith more. He was under used. Still could bring him on...

The plans are awful. Where he let Doherty go and bowl outside leg. That was only going to result in a bunch of wides.

There goes Starc's international career.

He wouldn't have got to it but wasn't the best fielding. Key fielders should be in the outfield and **** ones in the ring. The CH9 commentators are just pissed off Australia are losing (except Greig lol)

 

[morgieb]

How come tail-enders are so hard to get out these days? Is it bad bowling or something else.

 

[Jono]

THE LANKANS CAN PLAY THE PULL SHOT!

Amazing

 

[Matt79]

Siddle costing Aus the match here.
