Defeat by 107 runs - Oh dear Sri Lanka!! Looking forward to our series against them.

People in Australia have been dissapointed with how the selectors picked an Australia A team to versue Sri Lanka. I would have much have wanted M. Hussey to exit international cricket in style. But this Aussie A team is as strong as the actual Aussie team imo because they still have pacers McKay, Johnson and Starc to spearhead the team. Phil Hughes is a better player in shorter formats and when Finch gets going he can really be another Dave Warner. Khawaja was unlucky to get out in that fashion but i have confidence that he make consistent scores. Bailey is a mainstay in ODIs and Dave Hussey is a freak. I reckon he is Michael Hussey in disguise.

Another leading topic is about Australia's wicket keepers. Matty Wade to me has shown he is a classy batsmen. Haddin might be a clean striker of the ball but he is too inconsistent with the bat. Wade isnt a great keeper so it leads to the fact of which one would you take.

Hope Khawaja can make some runs today. Very unfortunate to get out the way that he did last match. Finch should find his feet this match. Both superb cricketers.

well khawaja has been dropped. silly imo, he's one of the most promising batsmen in the country, needs an extended run in the national team and he'll come good, he's a good prospect across all formats to.

Australia batted poorly. Nothing too mesmorising abt the pitch. Dubious how Khawaja is dropped after making his debut. Deserved another chance considering how he was dismissed.

One World · #**134** January 13, 2013, 02:54 AM

Australian selectors are showing excessive courage in team selections. Last 10 matches or so it seems they did not go to field without one debutant to the least.

Now, risking the team with almost C-level players with Srilanka with their prime 11 (only Sanga not there), was a gamble always to lose. Hope, they at least fill half their team with experienced decent record holders.

Another thought, why don't you risk such teams with BD? If Lions deserve the experiment, why not tigers

. I am sure the match would be much interesting though not so pleasant a news for us fans.

Nadim · #**135** January 13, 2013, 04:08 AM

Exactly. Every time I check their score, I see new players in the Aus XI. They do t need 50 players in a year. 20 is enough

Uzzie Khawaja shouldnt have been dropped after his first match...

deshimon · #**137** January 13, 2013, 06:21 AM

This is the result of excessive courage. I can't understand why they change the squad every day!

Nadim · #**138** January 13, 2013, 06:30 AM

Aus lost 18 odi's at home in last 5 yrs, and 8 of them were against the Lankans so not a upset

After this series is finished they should do Aus A vs Aus B vs Aus C tri series to make the selectors feel good about themselves.

BengaliPagol · #**140** January 14, 2013, 01:32 AM

Clarke, Warner and Wade called back into the team. This makes it interesting. A bit surprised Haddin is dropped after saving the team from complete humiliation.

haddin might be injured, has a hamstring strain and hughes kept in the last match.

Gowza · #**143** January 14, 2013, 05:27 PM

surprised nobody has commented on mckay's wicket, clearly no edge, given not out by the on field umpire, referred and then going through all the evidence there's nothing suggesting he actually was out, yet he was given out. probably would have changed the match very much but still it was very ridiculous.

BengaliPagol · #**144** January 14, 2013, 06:39 PM

^^yeah that was horrendous umpiring from the third umpire.

Zeeshan · #**145** January 17, 2013, 11:07 PM

Not watching the match but...........

Australia 26/4

Zeeshan · #**146** January 17, 2013, 11:14 PM

Kulu on fire!!!!

Five down!

Zeeshan · #**147** January 17, 2013, 11:18 PM

Six down. Kulu got five!!

Zeeshan · #**148** January 17, 2013, 11:33 PM

Furniture destroyed!

This time Separamadu Lasith Malinga

Zeeshan · #**149** January 17, 2013, 11:42 PM

God, if I ever played cricket as a bowler, it'd have to be like Malinga. So accurate and no hanky-panky of setting batsmen up with subsequent deliveries.

BengaliPagol · #**150** January 17, 2013, 11:43 PM

WTF is going on

This was meant to be closest to Australia's best team...
