***Official*** Australia in Sri Lanka

I love how Clarke is saying he is expecting a tough series. No ****. We couldn't beat SL in Australia last year, so we really don't have much of a chance in SL. We need some guys to really step up, I just can't see it happening but will be happy to be proved wrong.

7pm iirc.

as for the team i want...well i don't actually know. I want Pattinson playing and would like Dougeh too but I'd say neither of that will happen. Only one of Smith/Dussey please.

So good to get away from this one-sided rubbish Test series in England and get into some real cricket - ODIs.

My Aussie XI would be...

#Watson
#Haddin
#Ponting
#Clarke
#Mussey
#Dussey
#Johnson
#Smith
#Lee
#X
#Dougeh

Picking Johnson in the team more for his batting than his bowling and its the opposite with Smith. Leaving out Hastings is probably harsh given how well he bowled the other day but the game is likely to be played on a tired wicket so its kind of important to have more spin options in the side.

Anyways not very optimistic about our chances today especially if we have to chase on that surface which would probably be even more slower and lower after two T20 games, guys like Ponting, Clarke, Hussey and Dougeh are coming back after a long break so I guess we might see a rusty outfit out there today.

SL win toss bat first

SR Watson
BJ Haddin†
RT Ponting
MJ Clarke*
MEK Hussey
DJ Hussey
SPD Smith
MG Johnson
B Lee
XJ Doherty
DE Bollinger

would have played hastings over lee and marsh over dussey - not because i think marsh is any better but just so we know whether marsh will be an option for the tests - but fairly acceptable
