2nd Final: Australia v Sri Lanka @Adelaide Oval (Tuesday D/N)

[beez]

We look 70-80 runs short, gotta give credit to the Lankans

You won't hear being 80 runs short when you post 270 too often.

 

[red+black]

Lack of "Warner batted too slow" posts is disappointing.

7th slowest century by an Australian. Clarke's was the 12th fastest ever.

This is going to be just the 12th time a team batting 1st has had two centurions in their top order but lost the match:

What he do?

Not watching.

Nothing, really.

Alot of mouthing off, but most of it is "C'mon two quick wickets and anything can happen!!" stuff.

He's pretty cranky with how things are going, but that goes for pretty much everyone in the Aussie team tonight.

 

[Tomnat Tigers]

He was like that in the big bash when the stars were fielding like crap and were doing him no favours.

I must admit some of the stuff he says is pretty funny...even though he sounds like an idiot occasionally.

he's certainly copped some shocking throws over the series. Ian Healy went off a couple of games ago at the number of finger-breakers that were getting hurled into him.

inb4 everyone complains about Bing with the big smile.

ALL keepers are mouthy little smart-arses. Probably notice it more with Wade cos he stands up to the stumps alot.

Settle down gents. I haven't seen this episode of Air Crash Investigation before.

but implementing the recommendations have made Australian victories a safer bet for everyone

I feel like this match shows just how badly we're missing a wicket taking spinner. Don't get me wrong, Doherty is really good at what he does and has been good this series, but I really think a wicket taking spinner is what separates the good ODI sides from the great ones.

I started watching Border Patrol in one of my bogan moments. The repetitive "Sir you have to fill out Section C" to a non English speaking Asian makes me kill myself laughing every time.

That's all well and good but what has it got to do with the game of cricket? I know it's hosted by Grant Bowler....oh...

Was in response to Air Crash Investigation.

Thanks for saving me with Grant Bowler though

Patto's come back well actually after being 0/22 off 2.

SL wanted to make sure he stayed in for next game

Well played

Warner copping flak from ABC commentary team. I am astounded he played. We have little chance of winning the 3rd game with our injuries.

Warner should have rested and played Game 3 if needed.

I guess Drew Morphett and Damien Fleming, then?

No way the NSW boys club of Jim, Kerry and Geoff would bag Warner for anything.......

 

[Arbuckle]

Christian, McKay and Pattinson currently involved in a bowl-off to see who keeps their spot.

think i'll go watch the tenerife collision to go cheer myself up

Not sure if serious?!

Doherty ain't the problem in the Australian team at all. In fact, he has been australia's best and most consistent bowler in the series. By a distance.

I'd suggest directing all complaints to the pace bowling department instead.

I also suggest having a go at whoever the goose was who decided Hilfy should be dropped for this game, on a pitch and in conditions that would have suited him better than all of our other pace bowlers tonight.

Nasty mess up that one.

LOL, Mahela interviewed about being fined and said something like "10% off nothing isn't much."

Again catch it word for word?
