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

[Lostman]

Came across this scorecard from 1996. SL needed to win the last game against Aus at MCG to qualify for the finals.
Remember watching this game at the time, and thanks to Rob have Kalu highlights
Nostalgia...

Okay Australia, let's not **** this up.

Glad Melbourne for once isn't giving us the possibility of rain

 

[Burgey]

I've heard Australia is resting Watson, Clarke, Lee, both Husseys, Pattinson, Doherty, Forrest, Bradman and Warne from this one, and that Glen Trimble, Chris Matthews, Simon Davis, Greg Ritchie, Bill Lawry, Bob Cowper, Dave Gilbert, Slasher Mackay, Bruce Francis and Tony Dodemaide have been called in.

 

[Straight Drive]

Yeah its nice and sunny.

Bruce Francis deserves his recall

SL batting. Intriguingly they've gone with 2 spinners. Could be a great match if they set 250-260.

Read the team sheets ya bum.

 

[Spikey]

even better, Lee's gonna kill most of the Aus team and SL will win by default

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Alright, hands up who's watching this just for Pattinson's bowling

*puts hand up*

 

[Burgey]

Boys doing the right thing so far - a few gentle half volleys with a bit of width. Occasionally straying onto the pads.

Good stuff.

 

[Turbinator]

Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssss!

 

[Burgey]

Mind you, if Mahela's going to do that, well you have to do what you have to do.

 

[Sylvester]

Just as SL were looking good they do that.
