***Official*** Sri Lanka in Australia

South Africa or India
Um, India? You're kidding right? They just lost 2-1 in SA, and fought a close series against England. South Africa lost to England, got wiped out 5-0 in six matches vs. Australia and lost a Test to India on home soil for the first time in history. Even Pakistan went and won a Test there.

When India visit Australia and are demolished 4-0, such delusions will have to be discarded I'm afraid.

Yeah Sri Lanka would love to bowl with a wet ball, don't you agree mate?
Exactly my point ...they certainly should've waited instead of getting play started prematurely ...the same interpretations should be made regardless of the Team holdng advantage ...it took lot of arguing from the Sri lankann skipper to make Rudi see the point...

The crowd want and have paid to see cricket, just like they would in Sri Lanka.

Although they're probably all in on it, too. 8-)

No it isn't, unless you have some proof. Most countries governments aren't as involved in their cricket as much as subcontinental ones are :). That post just sounds like trolling for some confrontation.
I find it very very strange that ICC appoints officials 2 -3 months in advance but only on the day of the Test new officials turn up and we're told designated officials did not get visas...I find it very strange and Mate, I am not going to repeat this if you think its Trolling...

Even if it means one Team is unfairly disadvantaged by the conditions...:dry:
Tough ****....perhaps all games where the wind changes direction/speed, or the temperature alters should be canceled because one Team is unfairly disadvantage by the conditions....8-)

Well bowled by Fernando, but another Great innings from Hussey, well played. Symonds to fail...

This Australian side is no longer number 1 and I am certain that they will be shown that quite clearly when they tour subcontinent or SA next time around .....
Might want to leave these comments for when Australia isn't in the middle of the second longest winning streak of all time.

These type of posts over the past few pages certainly aren't on and I would love to dismiss them as a one off, but they're eerily similar to those previous Test and the WC final.

Wet ball or not, there's more than enough cloud cover for swing bowling. And the outfield is slightly slower.

This strikes me more like increasing desperation to force a draw, when there's positive outcomes for both sides.

That's because Dar filled the wrong form while applying for the visa and what makes you think that the Australians need to do such cheap things to win games! :@

Will have a license to come out and score quick you'd think, should be great. Anyways, Hussey and Clarke, what more can you say? Never looked troubled, so calm, so confident. Great to watch for an Australian.

Love Symonds. Dealing in boundaries at the moment. 14 already. Best shot of the day for mine the six off Murali. What a gun Symonds is. :)

Probably get out now...:ph34r:
