3rd Final: Australia v Sri Lanka at Adelaide Mar 8, 2012

[aussies1st]

Wonder if we would have bowled first, guess we'll get an indication with Watson's speech.

 

[Hallatia]

Australia:
David Warner, Matthew Wade (keeper), Shane Watson (captain), Peter Forrest, Michael Hussey, David Hussey, Daniel Christian, Brett Lee, Xavier Doherty, Clint McKay, Nathan Lyon

Sri Lanka:
Tillakaratne Dilshan, Mahela Jayawardene (captain), Kumar Sangakkara (keeper), Dinesh Chandimal, Lahiru Thirimanne, Upul Tharanga, Chamara Kapugedera, Favreez Maharoof, Nuwan Kulasekara, Lasith Malinga, Rangana Herath

Toss was irrelevant, Watson would have batted first.

 

[IanG]

Id like lime green balls tbh.........

WTF are you on about?

They'll be using white balls of course

 

[Panther_Daz]

Game over already then. If Australia won the toss they may have sent them in so you can't say it was irrelevant.

What are you on about? Watson said he would have batted and Mahela was always going to field. Thus making the toss irrelevant.

 

[Hallatia]

Dilshan opening the bowling again and maiden first up

 

[IanG]

Lickeratne Dilmah opening the bowling

 

[aussies1st]

Much better from Warner, now Wade needs to hit out or get out.

 

[Panther_Daz]

Warner on fire.

 

[hineyrulz]

Warner turning it up a notch, Wade now has to start turning the strike over.

 

[IanG]

Wade crook? Hearing them saying something about the SACA kitchen. Could be linked to the 3 Tasmanians going down with food poisoning.

 

[Hallatia]

I think Sri Lanka's bowling today hasn't been as good as it was on Tuesday, when it really was very good.

 

[hineyrulz]

If Wades crook he should hit out or get out.

 

[aussies1st]

Also comes from the pressure being applied from Warner.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

The pitch is an absolute road, probably more so than the other day. 300 is a minimum.

 

[Hallatia]

If Wades crook he should hit out or get out.

If Wade's crook, Australia's medical team really need to think of the right thing to do by him considering he's meant to be keeping later

 

[hineyrulz]

Warner out, big wicket.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Heals and the pommie git with the kiss of death.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

If Wade's crook, Australia's medical team really need to think of the right thing to do by him considering he's meant to be keeping later

I'd say they already have seeing he's still out there. It's not like he's comotose or his limbs have dropped out.

 

[Hallatia]

I blame the commentators for that wicket.
I think New Zealand commies have given me a lower tolerance for these Australian guys, because they pissed me off on Tuesday with their "if Sri Lanka win today then Australia can't win on Thursday because it's never been done before" bullshit and they are annoying me again today.
