***Official*** Commonwealth Bank Tri-Series 2007-08

Since Gilly is the VC for this series, so if Ponting doesn't play then i think Gilly would lead the team.

In a sense, that would be perfect. Gilly gets to lead the side in his final series and Clarke gets a head start to the vice-captaincy.

aussies 5 down now, hussey gone. They need to be careful now, need runs but don't need ot get out.

Hmm, close call. I'd say they need to get out as well.

 

[dinu23]

good period for the lankans.

 

[dinu23]

good score. will be difficult to get, hope sana fires.

 

[JBH001]

Haha i too love andy's avatar, i guess he could be a Pamela anderson or Jenna jameson fan too.

Hah. Or maybe Keely Hazell or Lucy Pinder!

(but then everyone loves massive mammaries! )

Yes, this is a good score. I am glad Vaas came roaring back after some difficult overs initially, and Murali seems to have bowled alright too (although I did not watch the session). But yes, I think it will be a difficult chase. Have an awful feeling that Lanka may implode.

 

[Craig]

No-one's watching.

So it would seem

I agree makes no sense for him to play when he is not 100%, all he could do is aggravate his injury.

AWTA, and if he needed a runner he wouldn't get one since he came into the match injured.

If Sana goes early, u can kiss goodbye to the match

Been in and out all day but it seems like a pretty good match so far with the lead changing a few times in Australia's innings. You wouldn't know it from the volume of responses here, it really does seem like it's irrelevant and looks like it was a good choice to pull the plug on the tri-series after this year.

 

[Johnners]

Johnson bowling so well, just 9 runs from his first 5 over spell.

 

[Jamee999]

Is there some reason why Silva has scored three off TWENTY-FIVE balls?

 

[Silver Arrow]

Bracken gets Sangakkara lbw

 

[Matt79]

Jason to decry a horrendously biased ( ) LBW decision against Sanggakara in 3... 2... 1...

 

[Jamee999]

Game over.

 

[Jono]

Sangakkara should go into the change room and slap Jayawardene across the face.

Seriously stupid shot at the worst time, gave Sri Lanka little to no chance of winning.

Why do that when your partner is smashing the bowling to all parts?

 

[pup11]

Bracken gets Sangakkara lbw

Bracks is such a gun, that was a vital wicket of Sanga and that could very well be game-over for Sri lanka.

 

[Silver Arrow]

Hogg gets Silva, edged through to Gilly

 

[duffer]

This is pretty funny, I know just about every Lankan in the ground today.

Onto the match, the Lankans can thank Jayawardene and Silva for the loss. Stopped all the momentum Sanga was building dead in it's tracks.

Oh well, great result for Indian fans as far as making the finals is concerned.

 

[Silver Arrow]

Bracken gets Kapugedera!

Fantastic bowling from Bracken

 

[duffer]

This is now a rout. Was a good catch by Haydos, looked to have collected some of Gilly's glove on the way through.
