***Official*** Australia in Sri Lanka

[flibbertyjibber]

Surprised this is still going and even more surprised that Mathews has bothered to turn up. Have to give him some credit i guess that he has got runs in a difficult situation. Thing is Australia only need 1 more wicket and it is game over as the tail will fold quickly.

Man that's a good knock.

Innings of the match by a fair way. Well played Mahela

Well played Mahela. Such a fine player.

He's on. It's a worry.

Edit: Very good partnership. I hope Copeland splits them.

 

[TumTum]

Good to see Haddin back for Copeland now.

 

[Sylvester]

Well played first 100 of the match says all you need to know.

Would have used Johnson with the new ball instead of Copeland because he with his speed would have been much more likely to extract some invariable bounce out of this deck.

 

[miscer]

very good innings. IMAGINE IF THEY..... I dont want to say it.

 

[centurymaker]

expect one of them to get out soon....

fmd, it's because it's a new ball.

srsly, you can't be that challenged, surely?

Well India managed a win from an almost impossible position against them last year so never say never.

He would have been much more likely to gift them fours with rotten four balls on the legs.

 

[adub]

Having them looking to score more freely is actually good for us.

 

[Spark]

Just keep going. One of those will go to a fielder eventually.

 

[Sylvester]

Johnson is too unreliable for the new ball anyway, he'll still have the hard ball when he comes onto bowl.

 

[Speersy]

get him out
get him out
get him out

 

[adub]

Genuine edge there. Just need to stay tight and one will go to hand. Mathews doesn't have the game to bat the 4 or so hours more that are needed.

 

[Spark]

Becoming impatient here. Tighten up.
