Sri Lanka vs Australia-3rd ODI

[Gozu]

The 3rd ODI starts tonight at 6:30pm with the pre-match show from 6pm.

[NFC]

Ohh tonight? Cool! Thanks for the heads up!

Any changes to the team? Doubt it considering how we'll they've been going, but Haddin must be on thin ice, get Paine in there.

[Gozu]

We won the toss and have elected to bowl, no changes to the team.

[Jim05]

Douggie and Johnno are bowling some unplayable pearlers. Douggie has been very impressive.
SL 0/41 (9)

[NFC]

We're getting tonked now.

[Jim05]

Yep.
The openers played and missed dozens of times. Quite a bit of juice early on in the pitch due to overnight rain. The openers rode their luck and are cashing in on our ordinary slow bowling options.

[RustyCage]

1/182 off 33.5

[RustyCage]

2/220 of 38.1

Sangakkara gone for 49.

Tharanga on 108*

[Squids]

We are going to see how good we are here with a big chase.

[NFC]

Can someone explain to me what Steve Smith adds to the side??

[NFC]

Nice ball Johnson, I will give him credit, ordinary attempt at the shot though. I’m not entirely convinced this good form from Johno will carry over to the real stuff though.

to ensure that there's 11 on the field ..

[RustyCage]

Can someone explain to me what Steve Smith adds to the side??

About 35 runs to the opposition

[NFC]

Good call guys.

[RustyCage]

Haddin gone for 5 (20)

Really looked bad

[Squids]

Its time to go Haddin, you simply cant eat up so many balls in a chase like this and go on and fail. Hasn't batted well all series, Tim Paine its your time!! preparation for the WC must start now.

[NFC]

Yep, Haddin needs to go.

And Punter gone, real shame as he was looking superb.

[Gozu]

Steve Smith should've been run out for a diamond duck, was out by a mile.

[NFC]

The sooner Haddin, Smith and Dussey are out of the ODI side, the better.

I just realised White isn't playing, and assuming he played in the T20's, I'm assuming they finally dropped him after his woeful past...well, 2 years virtually.

Yeah he got dropped from the ODI team for this tour but was captain of the T20 side.
