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

[FRUMPY]

Pretty pitiful performance by the bowlers. Also Clarke's captaincy has been very reactive. Ball was swinging a mile and has only 1 slip, ball goes through 2nd slip, then he puts in a 2nd slip. Dilshan goes the scoop so he puts in a catching fine leg/leg slip.

Game all but over really, means another evening on the couch thursday, everyones a winner

I hope Sri Lanka win to send it into a decider. The bowling has lost us plenty of games all series, this will be another one.

Ryan Harris - I am glad he is playing for QLD but Sri Lanka are happy they aren't facing him.

Ben Hiflenhaus, yeah had a few poor games but overall was one of our better bowlers.

Pattinson needed more game time - love to see him run in but he needs game time.

Lee - time to move on, forget all the marketing hype around him.

McKay.........rocks or diamonds sadly with him.

And the crowd numbers..............can't blame the supporters for not turning up to a Tuesday game when everyone is back at work and school.

Why is Clarke on the field?

 

[ep2018]

Well..... at least in this series we'd have forced the opposition into a third match. Last two times England and India both had us beat in two games.

 

[Cousin Jed]

Can we move the 3rd game to Perth or Brisbane?

 

[vWestCoast]

Bowl M. Hussey too. Honestly feel he could produce a break through.

He does not look good

 

[dajesmac]

This is outrageous domination.

Mind you, how much do the Lankans loving edging boundaries!

 

[MisterMarcus]

Not sure whether we can keep Lee and Patto in the same team. Both are all out attacking bowlers who can go for plenty if they get it wrong or the batsman get a bit of good luck.

In fact, apart from McKay we don't really have a "containing" bowler. All of them can get belted around.

 

[beez]

This is just splendid to watch.

 

[dumb]

flat performance all round. scratchy and merely solid batting (apart from clarke), and bowling that's been off the boil since the first over.

how quickly the commentators forgot clarke was more or less a run a ball for his whole innings during that 'slow middle period'.

 

[MisterMarcus]

WTF Doherty???

 

[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

Wow nice 6

 

[vWestCoast]

Ridiculous now. Seems like we have no answer to them. Am only watching on a shitty stream but between that and cricinfo it's pretty obvious how we're going.

 

[Arbuckle]

In fact, apart from McKay we don't really have a "containing" bowler.

Not sure how or where you got this idea from?

At least half the other bowlers in this attack have better career economy rates than Clint.

 

[danielnajdek]

Pretty disappointing effort

 

[MisterMarcus]

Haha Heals and Taylor desperately trying to talk up fours and sixes to sustain interest (and ratings!)......and Moody isn't playing the game.

"They don't NEED to hit sixes, they can just work it around for ones and twos now Heals....."

 

[jko'neal]

Not sure if to describe this as a Training Drill or Net Session for the Sri Lankans

 

[MisterMarcus]

Heals can be a moron, but some of his thoughts on keeping are interesting. Working through what Wade's doing well and where he can keep improving.

 

[Xtreme]

Not the first person to say it but Sri Lanka are gunning for the Bonus Point as well

 

[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

Rubbish bowling now

 

[dumb]

not just winning, pulling the pants down and destroying the sphincter

 

[Phil McCreviss]

Gotta say I'm proud of the Lankans tonight (having SL heritage). Tend to fly under the radar a bit but they really have a talented team.

 

[Jimthegreat]

Given up now. Just put Lee and Patto on and bowl short and nasty at them. Nothing much else left. Finish with a bumper barrage.

Lee's actually gone ok after that wayward first over. Just 11 of the other 3.

You idiot umpire!!!!!!!!!!Edge was so think how can anyone miss it!

Australia has made them look good with the pathetic bowling.
