Australia v Sri Lanka ODI @ Hobart

[stan]

What a top notch gesture from Mahela Jayawardene to donate some Sri Lankan training tops to auction off, with all proceeds going to help the bushfire victims. That sort of thing makes you smile and its great to see visiting teams acknowledge a natural disaster and try and do their bit to help, even if its on a small scale.

Well played Sri Lanka!

Training tops, how generous

Christ they could of gave nothing. Nice to see your gracious. Are you related to Serena Willams by any chance?

[Stumps]

Matthew Wade must have kept well in this ODI series
Silence is golden

Matthew Wade kept ordinarily last night (again) very rarely takes a return cleanly that isn't on the full, and fumbled at least 3 normal takes off doherty. Not up to it unless he is making tons of runs

Heard on the radio they "only" gave training tops because the game tops are to be used in another upcoming one day series. Remember that Sri Lanka is a fairly poor country and the players dont get paid anywhere near what our players do.

Great gesture by the Sri Lankans

Exactly. The Sri Lankan Cricket Board barely scrapes enough cash together to pay their players. Hence why Malinga doesn't play Test Cricket anymore. Better off financially for him and his Family to chase Twenty20 cash on offer.


For what the Sri Lankans have in dollars to run their international cricket team they compete remarkably well against the well off countries of the likes of Australia etc.

Sri Lankans are very nice people.

The Tamils would disagree!!!

[The Sleeping Giant]

I didn't say they were nice to each other.

Raised plenty of money from memory

different circumstances don't you think?

[valleys07]

different circumstances don't you think?

Just a little. How a Tsunami can even be compared to our bushfires on a scale of death, destruction and economic impact has me perplexed.

What a farce the whole series was.... I switched off when I saw Chandimal's dismissal... had fix and bookies written all over it!

Raised plenty of money from memory

In 2005 there was a Asia XI v ICC World XI 50 over game played at the MCG. The ICC World XI won and Punter made a hundred. The match raised approximately $17 million Australian.

33500 Sri lankans died in the tsunami.
