2nd Final: Australia v SL at Adelaide Mar 6, 2012

They started too slow and finished the final overs too slow. 6 an over in the middle is quite par.

Who started too slow...I'll give you a tip it wasn't Wade!

The way Sri Lanka chased the target from the first over was fantastic. Their fielding was ordinary in this match, but their bowling and batting was superb and it is great to get a third final between these two sides.

I felt like Clarke was a bit impatient with his bowlers tonight, the bowling may have been ordinary, but I don't think the way he used some of his bowlers particularly helped

We were 80 short on that pitch..if Warner batted like Clarke we may have had 60 more runs to defend! There is no point having Dave Hussey, Mike Hussey and Christian in the sheds with 5 overs to go!

Exactly. Unless you've got 50 more runs than those two had last night of course. Clarke played a great knock but Warner was too slow bar a period in the middle of his innings maybe. Only 2 down, should have put the pedal down earlier instead of noodling around for his ton.

It's a bit of a pattern I've noticed over the last few years with you guys actually, playing a bit too conservative when batting first and leaving talent sitting in the dressing rooms. In the past a lot of the time you've been saved by your bowlers but last night the way you guys approached your batting innings was horribly exposed IMO.

Watson 15 from 34 balls yep I agree there is your man.

 

[Hallatia]

Watson was the worst he has been in a long while.

What a pathetic effort from our bowlers. The embarrassing thing is, that would be close to our full-strength attack wouldn't it? Hard to see how we can avoid a 2-1 loss now

 

[Hallatia]

to be fair, I think the Australian bowlers were bad yesterday, they shouldn't be so bad tomorrow. It's their shot at redemption and hopefully they take it and we get a good contest out of it.
