Australia have had a week’s rest since thumping New Zealand, so they will be no need to “manage the workload” of any of their players. They are almost certainly going to stick to the same XI.
Australia (probable) 1 Shane Watson, 2 Brad Haddin (wk), 3 Ricky Ponting (capt), 4 Michael Clarke, 5 David Hussey, 6 Cameron White, 7 Steve Smith, 8 Mitchell Johnson, 9 Jason Krezja, 10 Brett Lee, 11 Shaun Tait.
Sri Lanka have a couple of decisions to make regarding their bowling. Do they persist with Nuwan Kulasekara or bring back the pacy Thisara Perera, who also provides a big-hitting option lower down the order? Also, the second spinners slot 'remains a toss-up between Rangana Herath and Ajantha Mendis.
I expect it to be a really good match. In my view, this match will display to what extent Aussies are ready for defence. It wont be definite but will give us a fair idea.
Bhai match 3/4 bajey shuru hota hai. I sneak out of the bed-room at 3 and around 8/9 when its her time to wake up…I walk to kitchen and then turn around towards bedroom and shout ---- “Array bhaeeee…bataoo …nashtey main kia khooo gee. main bana raha hoon nashta”
