Perera does it again

3 runs required in last over 
[TABLE=“class: commsTable”]
48.5
Christian to Perera, SIX, Thisara!!! Sri Lanka are roaring home after a six followed by a four. Thisara plants the front foot across, gets clean under the length ball and bombards it deep over the midwicket boundary for a six. Sri Lanka can't possibly lose from here.
48.4
Christian to Perera, FOUR, Thisara doesn't need two hands to get the boundary. Full length slower ball on the leg stump line, he was lining up the loft over the leg side, but the ball came on after he was into the stroke. No matter. The top hand came off, he continued with the swing and ended up slapping it square rather than through midwicket.

Lee to Kulasekara, FOUR, Sri Lanka are on top of the table! Take that says Kula. He stays beside the line to a length ball and cracks it through the covers for four. Sri Lanka have been undefeated four games in a row, and I daresay they look the best side in this tournament.

Jayawardene should be MoM

This was a well-constructed run chase by SLA. Chasing 280 against Aus in Aus is a tall order by any standards. Although the guys made a slight mess of it towards the end, SLA were always up with the run rate. The younger players Chandimal (a great find for them), Thirimanne and Thisara Perera are also playing their part in the wins
Re: Commonwealth Bank Series, 9th Match: Australia v Sri Lanka at Hobart, Feb 24, 201
SLA have three genuine one-day allrounders in Matthews, Thisara & Maharoof, and another near allrounder in Kulasekara

Saw the Australian half of the inning. As always, the Husseys were oustanding. I have not seen anyone better than these two when it comes to stepping up the run rate effortlessly the moment they come in to bat.
Malinga was terrific - bowls yorkers at will. Herath also did a good job. Both bowled some tight overs towards the end when the Aussies were trying to amp up the scoring rate.
