Australia V Sri Lanka 3rd ODI.

[Twizzle]

Sri Lanka win toss and bat.

1 for 1 after 4 balls.

Kalawithawatever caught Clarke at gully bowled Dizzy, for jack shit.

 

[Alan Shore]

Clarke shouldn't be opening. It's not suited to him.

 

[Twizzle]

Sri Lanka 2 for 24 of 8 overs on a seaming wicket.

Atipatu out.

This is a difficult wicket to bat on and should be a low scoring game.

Kasper finally getting a run at the expense of Brett Lee.

 

[Twizzle]

Silly Wankers lost another, 3 for 34 of 12 overs.

Sangakara out.

Run rate less than 3 an over.

 

[Alan Shore]

What are Kasprowicz's figures like?

 

[Twizzle]

Very bloody good, 0 for 13 off 7 overs.

Sri Lanka after 25 overs, half way, 4 for 74.

Dizzy has been by far our best bowler with 3 for 19 off 8 overs.

Kasper bowling well, but SL batting bad.

 

[Twizzle]

After 32 over, SL 5 for 121.

I would think 200 should win this game from here.

 

[SirShire]

Onya Dizz - go for the 5-for!

 

[Anonymous]

After 32 over, SL 5 for 121.

I would think 200 should win this game from here.

You mean 200 will be enough for SL to win?
