Hi, is anyone else watching this?? The Sri Lankan bowling is totally tearing the Aussies apart.

Currently 40 for 9!

Too bad they didn’t last a few more overs. I won’t get home in time to watch Sri Lanka finish it off

Last wicket put on about as many runs as 1st 9 wickets. As a % that must be some sort of a record!

Clarke: “A horrible day. Probably should have bowled first. But if you bat like that in any conditions, you will lose. Our defence let us down more than anything. No excuse for the way we performed. Shot selection was poor. I understand the public wants us playing consistently. Honestly, if we played like that (today) then the public wouldn’t want to see us playing at all. Our bowlers did a good job.”

Clarke was clearly peeved with himself for the way he and his team played. Nice to see a captain be so honest about his own team. Not all captains in world cricket today can say ‘yes we messed up real bad.’ You have to admire Clarke for that.

Nuwan Kulasekara is the Man of the Match. A no-brainer. Sometime later, see if you guys can catch the highlights on Youtube or TV and see how he squared everyone up with his inswing.

Sri Lanka are 2-1 up ahead of the 4th ODI, They won’t be so happy about the way they chased this, but that’s a worry for another day. They can afford to savour 74 all out today. Great performance in the field.

Some Captains get the MOM for such performances in order to boost their morale.

Re: Aus v Sri Lanka 3rd ODI Jan 18

^ Catchis win matchis. And NZ took all the Catchis.

I hear Dhoni was Man of the Match.
