Sri Lanka vs Australia-4th ODI

[Gozu]

Up 2-1 the 4th ODI starts on Saturday night at 6:30pm with the pre-match show from 6pm.

- Kumar Sangakkara will play his 300th ODI, the sixth Sri Lankan to reach the milestone.
- Upul Tharanga needs one more century in 2011 to equal the Sri Lankan record for most ODI hundreds in a calendar year for the second time. The record is jointly held by Tharanga and Sanath Jayasuriya, who made five each in 2006.
- Australia fare better under Michael Clarke when he loses the toss. They've lost four of nine ODIs when he's won the toss, and only three of 21 games when he's lost the toss.

Chandimal the young batsmen.


I really like the Aussie team, probably the best we can put on the park with the people we have over there.

Sri Lanka currently 2/27

91/2

Haddin must be the worst keeper ever, every time he takes a decent catch he appeals like crazy. We just wasted our review there with a shocker. The follow up 4 runs and a wide.

edit then a dropped catch by guess who, Haddin.

Australia 2/26 (6.5)

Marsh 14*
Malinga 2/2 (2.5 overs)

[Squids]

Two very weak dismissals.


After watching Malinga bowl, why did they give Dilshan an over?
