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

[chicane]

Insane knock! Insane run chase, 321 in 36 overs is ridiculous. How woeful were SL though? Malinga bowls yorkers at will and here he served up full toss/length junk, and not a single bouncer to Raina.

All that aside, KOHLI! OUR CHAMP!

 

[Cevno]

Mate, if they're fair dinkum, he ain't in your best ODI XI right now.

He isn't ?

 

[Burgey]

Who is then? Cos he's better than Sehwag.

I think they're as meh as each other ATM aren't they?

 

[Jono]

Haven't seen a knock like that since R Connor took out 4 pigeons on his way to an unbeaten century against F Lesley and co on Super International Cricket.

Malinga needs to have a look at these highlights of the Sri Lankan great, deSaram to inspire him how to bowl

Mahela should've brought on D. Samara during the power plays.

What wasn't an outrage was by the time you told me Sri Lanka at $1.35 was good value, their odds had fallen to $1.20, so I didn't get on

Phew

Retired to play Bangaldesh Premier League ftr.

Was always interested in the cash.

A magnificent run chase from the Indians. It had a strange sense of inevitability about after the quick start in spite of the fact they had to maintain it for 40 overs. And stranger still Dhoni's batting wasn't even required.

Haha indeed, was reflecting on that call after 5 overs of India's innings.

 

[Jono]

Crucial factor other than bad bowling, good batting and flat pitch was the fact there was so little expectation for India (hell they didn't even know they could still qualify a few days ago lol).

In a funny way that may have been an easier chase than if they had to get 260-odd in 40 overs. It was so implausible that every batsman could just come out and bat naturally, and if it was in their zone, they had free licence to hit whether its ball 1 or ball 180.

Sehwag never really need that licence I guess but still there was freedom to bat.

Kohli in the press conference.

Waits for him to say some douchey thing.
