*Official* Sri Lanka in Australia 2010

Did Ponting get a top edge while pulling or hole out to deep square leg? If it's the latter, it smacks of pigheadedness IMO. Should just put it away for a while.

I want to know just how representative it is though. Obviosly dailytelegraph commenters are just scraping the barrel and probably think Symonds's average is six thousand and Clarke's two, but just how stupid can the general public at large be? Some of you living in Sydney/Melbourne/Brisbane and probably knowing more cricket fans, would have more of an idea.

Fat top edge. Probably not there for the pull too, was a fair way outside off. Very similar to the Clarke dismissal in fact although obviously the catch was in a totally different place. Both shots smacked of wanting to get a move on at any cost.

Annoyed about the loss but you can hardly argue that we deserved a win, Sri Lanka were awesome. Malinga was amazingly good as well, had everyone in all sorts with his slower ball and he just seemed to be turning out a production line of yorkers.

Yeh our bowlers (mainly Johnson and Siddle) really need to learn from him.

Not sure what is going on with this Australian side at the moment, but this is pretty poor given the professional standards that we usually expect. Tharanga scoring more than twice as much as any Australian batsman has to be more embarrassing than anything that happened with Pakistan this summer.

Malinga was stunning tonight. Just impossible to get away, deserved more than just one wicket.

Yeah, I was probably a bit harsh on him there considering it's an ODI and run-rate is important.

It's a fairly bull**** article mate. Unfortunately it seems representative.

I'm looking forward to the effigy burning that comes next.

 

[Faisal1985]

Well this is not helping Australia's cause going into the Ashes....7 straight losses....

 

[GotSpin]

Looking forward to Aaronk's unbiased summary

 

[Himannv]

Fantastic win and a great achievement. Wish there was a bit of a test series to look forward to down under as well.

Anyways, great performance by the team.

Yes, Perera got it big on him

 

[Migara]

SL should check on their bech strength next time. If Aussies fail to beat that also, then good luck for them. Sanga, Mahela, Malinga and Murali can rest. They've done very well.

My team for Brisbane: Dilshan, Tharanga, Chandimal, Mathews, Kapugedara, Mendis, Perera, Randiv, Kulasekara, Prasad, Fernando

 

[Athlai]

SL should try to win every match and play the best team they have. #1 ftw.

 

[Migara]

It's more a building process and bech also should have match practice. Since it's a dead rubber it's time to test them. SL should push Mathews to #4 and let him play a long innings in these matches. He's definirtly going to be the next big thing of SL cricket.

 

[Furball]

Is Mathews carrying an injury? Suprised that we've not seen him bowl yet.

 

[Spark]

Why would Murali want to rest?

 

[Migara]

Yes , long term knee injury which was contracted playing for non other than IPL. Before that IPL injury he kept hitting high 130s with regularity. Lost about 5 - 8ks after that.

 

[Migara]

Why would Murali want to rest?

He'll not want to. But better to get the back up also in shape IMO.
