Australia/India/Sri Lanka ODI Series

[CoverKing]

Sri Lanka very ordinary said rely on only a couple of players who are truly international standard, as i have said previously a very overrated one day side.

Won't missing for a while, they played one bad game and now your back

Can't believe people are even saying something is fishy, enjoy it for what it was, one amazing game of cricket where some special talent stood out

[whufc]

never said there was anything fishy.

sri lanka have 5 world class players the rest are very ordinary and wouldnt play shield cricket except in the redbacks

We don't need the Sri Lanka rejects..... we have Gary Putland

[FlyingHigh]

Are India even guaranteed a place if they get the bonus point?

Sri Lanka would still have to lose to Australia on Friday. It will then come down to who has the superior run-rate.

Nevertheless, an unbelievable innings from India. I'd like to see what they could make if they had the full 50 overs!!!

From what I heard it comes down to head to head.
India 2
Sri Lanka 1
1 tie

Can never understand why in a 3-side comp, because it means the side with the worse record against the top team, who obviously they have to play in the finals, gets through.

[smac]

It net run rate that decides who plays.

[FlyingHigh]

Are you sure smac? Channel 9 commentators were adamant it was head-to-head.

[smac]

Why does the table have nrr then? Wasn't listening to the commentary, could well be the case - a strange move.

[FlyingHigh]

Don't know.
Used to always be the run rate, which may not be perfect, but makes more sense.
Hopefully it won't matter by the Sri Lankans winning Friday.

[carey]

If there is a tie on points it goes to a head to head results if these are the same it then goes to net run rate.

[Jim05]

Clarke doubtful for Friday's match, his back isnt 100% and the selectors wont risk him if he isnt right.
Not sure who will be called up, Bailey would be next in line but is playing shield cricket

It has NRR in case the head to head is even (which is doubtful considering you play 4 matches against each side)

[CoverKing]

Bailey is without doubt next in line, which is shown by him being picked in the WI squad

[Media Park]

Forrest and McKay out, Lee and Clarke in, Aus batting first.

Very stiff for Peter Forrest.

[CoverKing]

Forrest and Clarke in the same side are a worry I would think. Warner is lucky but they have invested a lot of time into him so I don't think he was ever going to get dropped.

I think McKay is unlucky to be dropped for lee

[stampy]

if warner doesnt make runs today he needs to go back to domestic

[Media Park]

0/75 (11)

Warner 34 (36)
Wade 36 (30)

Till Dill bowling

[Media Park]

0/116 (22 overs)
Warner 52, Wade 59

[Motorboat]

Herath takes an absolute ripper of a catch to get wade out!
Aus 1 for 140
Warner on 67
Wade out for 64

[locky801]

Herath takes an absolute ripper of a catch to get wade out!

put down your glasses, is the catch of the year by miles

Great catch but turned a sitter into a gem by his poor judgement
