**Official Comm Bank Series - Aus, Ind & SL ODI's***

Hmmm... Apparently SL just got fairly comfortably beaten by Victoria 2nd XI... chasing 172.

Really? Don't see this anywhere on cricinfo.

Really? Don't see this anywhere on cricinfo.

I do know they were playing today because I saw the press release when Victoria named a squad for it; I haven't seen the result anywhere yet though.

Who the **** is Dinesh Kulasekera? Is that Nuwan?

 

[benchmark00]

Jonathan Fagg took 1/6 hehe.

If Sri Lanka were not involved in the tri series, this would have been a win less series for India.

 

[Himannv]

All out for 149??

 

[vic_orthdox]

Yeah, knocked them over, supposedly the pitch was doing a fair bit. Junction has become rather inconsistent since the MCG renovation was completely finished, without a large ground staff.

Steve Seymour took 5/50-odd #playingforSAnextyear

 

[Nishan]

yeah the pitch was doing a bit in terms of bounce, but Sri lanka playing with 4 batsmen chased woefully full crdit to the victorian youngsters.. was there enjoyed it, specailly talking to sanga for the first time

Lets just hope the Australian fans turn up, a couple of losses and watch the numbers dwindle.

Bowled well and is a solid batsman.

So what do u guys think the line up should be tomorrow??

Sachin
Sehwag
Gambhir
Kohli
Sharma/Raina
Dhoni
Jadeja
Ashwin/Sharma
P Kumar
Zaheer
Yadav

It seems either Raina or Rohit has to sit out this game. Would be interesting see which spinner they choose

 

[Daemon]

Sachin
Sehwag
Gambhir
Kohli
Raina/Rohit - my bias says Rohit
Dhoni
Jadeja
Irfan
Ashwin
Praveen
Zaheer


Don't need Yadav playing LO cricket atm.

Why do the they play so little day cricket in ODI's in Australia?

 

[Spark]

Because day-nighters are better in most respects if possible, timezones notwithstanding (looking at you, Perth)

 

[Cabinet96]

Do you mean for the other states in Australia?

 

[Furball]

Do you mean for the other states in Australia?

IIRC they're broadly similar except for Perth.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Rohit should definitely be in the team for ODI's. Also liked the tall spinner (Rahul I think).

 

[Cruxdude]

Totally forgot that this series starts today. This should be closer than the test series. At least I hope so.
