Australia/India/Sri Lanka ODI Series

[The Sleeping Giant]

The difference between the teams is one country hasn't been willing to carry it's fading stars.

Hopefully channel 9 have a 1000 ltd edition signed Tendulkar bats sitting somewhere.

[stampy]

Aust ended up 9/252, how can a clown like Sehwag get 3 wickets

Very poor last 10 overs from Australia, cant see them winning from here

beautiful work locky!!!!!!!!!

[The Sleeping Giant]

Locky is the king of the wrong call.

What a terrible bowler lee is.

What a terrible bowler lee is.

100% agree may get a couple of cheap wickets at the tail and his figures will mask the fact he is finished.

Yep we pensioned off Ponting, Lee is blocking a kid playing
We have an abundance of young quicks would rather see them playing.

[carey]

Are India even really playing at the minute?

Looks like the tour of being pants the whole time has really taken its toll on the indians my guess would be their just keen to get home for the IPL and the $$$$

Did have 6 overs 0/10 remember

[NFC]

Watto had a SUPERB night as captain.

A superb knight you could say...

He struggles in his 2nd spell doesn't he.

[CoverKing]

1/16 off 2 I wouldn't say is struggling

[The Sleeping Giant]

You have the hots for him or something? Did you see his last over and wicket?

[Lightning McQueen]

India have appealed for obstructing the field against Mike Hussey.

I reckon Hussey's in trouble here, but ruled not out.

Should have been given out, he put his hand up and deliberately stopped the balls flight to the stumps.

What Rubbish ! He had his hand up naturally during his running action and the ball hit it. Simple as that. He never deviated his hand towards the ball and it actually appeared that he was withdrawing his hand at the last second. Completely incidental contact. Typical Indians not accepting the decision and carrying on after the decision was made. No wonder they're always going overtime with their overs. No problem with India appealing, but it simply was NOT intentional contact so NOT OUT was the right decision.

I'm with Dutchy, poor attempt at fending the ball. Should've been given out.

1 - Why is Siddle running around for Victoria while Lee is playing for Australia?

2 - Why is Watson bowling in his first match back after 3 months or more out with hamstring/calf issues when Lee,McKay,Christian,Hilfenhaus,Hussey (x2 if required ) and Doherty are playing and Lee is in the team?

3 - Why is Lee in the team when Siddle, Starc and Harris are on the sidelines?

[Squids]

1. Siddle is average at 50 over cricket and is only being used for the real stuff.

2. Watson is our best bowler

3. Starc is average and Harris should be kept for the real stuff

[Jim05]

Get some young quicks in then. Lee wont be around for next WC so piss him off.
Much rather McDermott or Coulter-Nile getting some experience, need to start assembling a side to win the next cup.

3. Starc is average and Harris should be kept for the real stuff

Siddle has been our best bowler of the summer, regularly getting wickets early in his spell.

Watson does not need to bowl, I agree he is one of our best, but he simply did not need to bowl yesterday.

Starc is a better long term option that Lee, surely?

[Killa]

Lee probably retire from international one dayers after the T20 world cup would think.

[hearts on fire]

India's last roll of the dice to make it into the finals today, must win against Sri Lanka.....

Cricket season really coming to an end now, little interest left in it.
