odi game 6 australia v sri lanka friday 15th

[bayman]

well with the 'eveness' of the comp i'll tip the aussies to bounce back easily & possibly win with a bonus point

[Thiele]

Go the Aussies

[hearts on fire]

haven't had any luck will my tipping so far, i said India would thrash Sri-Lanka today but i was wrong and i said Australia would thrash India on sunday and i was also wrong.

im sticking will my instinct and going with Australia, to win easily.

there will be a good opening partnership for Australia, both Adam Gilchrist and Matthew Hayden making good scores and then Ricky Ponting will come in and make another 10 or so. Michael Clarke and Andrew Symonds will have a good middle order partnership and Michael Hussey will come in towards the end and finish things off nicely. Australia will end up around 250-300.

then Sri-Lanka will be bowled out for around 120-180. Brett Lee will pick up a 4 for, there will be 2 run outs, Mitchell Johnson will pick up 2 and Stuart Clark will pick up 1.

that sums it up, thank you for your time.

[smac]

That's piss-weak... Come on hof, put your balls on the line.

[schimma]

We Bowling. good to see Cleary back in the side

[locky801]

Least the weather looks good, have a feeling the Lankans may just get over the line in this one

[Hazbeen]

Good luck to Gilly for a big one last time at home.

[Pup]

Australia easily IMO.

[Rik E Boy]

While the Aussies have been troubled by India in 2008 (if not in 2007), Sri Lanka are our dead set BITCHES. Their attack holds no fears for our batsman. Malinga the slinger doesn't really generate much swing and Vaas, while commanding respect does not have a record of running through us. Murali also does not have a great record on our shores and is not picking up all that many wickets in this series so far.

Australia still has a destructive batting line up and it is India's ability to knobble this line up that makes them a difficult proposition for Australia to counter. This does not apply in Sri Lanka's case and I expect Gilchrist and co to put on a big exhibition and send the happy crowd home on a winner.

regards,

REB

Or...in another words...what Pup said!

[locky801]

Aust 2/96 in the 19th

Gilly about 60

Pup 7

[locky801]

28 0vers gone

Aust 2/139

Gilchrist 83*

Clarke 26*

[locky801]

Aust now 2/161

Clarke just been felled by one to the ribs, may be a blesing however as is using up too many balls

Clarke 39*

Gilchrist 91*


The question is everyone will Channel 9 Adelaide go to the News at 6pm

[RoosterMarty]

They just announced that 9 will remain at the cricket for Gilly's ton/dismissal.. but I guess that is for the eastern states. Going by that though I'd imagine they will go to the News unfortunately, because it's not already on 7 and 10.

[magpie in the 80's]

there waiting here for his 100 before going to the news here in the eastern states

[locky801]

Might be waiting a while, scoring rate dropping dramatically Gilchrist has scored 7 in the last 5 overs, Clarke not much more, Lankans on top at this stage

[locky801]

Aust are really going to have to put the foot down 2/170 off of 36, batting paradise need at least 280 to 300

[MightyEagles]

Clarke out 43

[locky801]

Thank god Clarke out stumped, one of the worst innings I have seen him play, put so much pressure on the side

Aust 3/171

[MightyEagles]

Symonds out for 4
4/177
