Hey guys this series seems pretty interesting now.

EPIC finish. Dhoni needed 4 off the last ball, hit a cracking shot, saved wonderfully by a fielder and he manages to run 3. Draw.

 

[Axver]

The last three overs had pretty much everything. Awesome cricket.

Even Charlotte was paying attention.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Add that to India's victory on Sunday.

 

[CrashedCarDriver]

Black Caviar $1.01
The storm $1.04

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Nice win, Sri Lanka.

 

[Axver]

Very nice.

 

[Axver]

Glorious times! Ponting has been dropped for ODIs!

Staying on in Tests, alas. Can't wait until we see the back of the wanker.

 

[cobl04]

I can, so long as he's playing as well as he did against India! And he retired from ODI cricket, he wasn't just dropped.

 

[Axver]

Well, retiring after you're dropped doesn't mean much.

Baffling how he had that resurgence of form in Tests and yet has played like crap in ODIs.

 

[Axver]

Wow, India really suck today.

 

[bono_man2002]

I think Ricky will hang around the test squad and call it quits next summer. Tried, stressed, he'll feel better in the channel nine commentary box.

 

[cobl04]

Nah, he'll call it quits after The Ashes, provided he's not dropped before then.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Kohli is a brilliant player when on. Destroying everything now, smashing 6s and hitting a 4 off a Malinga yorker. What a joy to watch.

 

[cobl04]

Why was I NOT FUCKING WATCHING!!!! 321 off 36.4!

 

[Vlad n U 2]

It was an entertaining match, that's for sure. No early outs for India, everyone made a start.

 

[cobl04]

And yet they couldn't make 150 in a test

Would have been interesting to see what they made if they batted to 50 overs.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

That's what urgency and hunger do to a team! We saw none of that in the test series.

 

[Axver]

Why are all the dull games featuring the drab Indian team on when I'm at home, and when I go to a gig, the exciting games are on featuring a completely different, fired up Indian team!

I left for the show after Sri Lanka's innings thinking "well India's fucked; welcome to the finals, Sri Lanka" and look what happens.

 

[AcrobatMan]

I watched most of that match..321 in less than 37 ..YAY

Now Australia, please do us a favor and beat SL

You surely cant be losing 3 consecutive ODI matches to SL in Australia...SURELY

 

[Axver]

I'd much rather an Australia vs Sri Lanka finals series than an Australia vs India series. At least Sri Lanka won't go to sleep.

 

[Axver]

The Essendon vs St Kilda NAB Cup game has been cancelled due to extreme bad weather.

And not a single shit was given.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Wrong thread, Slackver.

 

[cobl04]

The Essendon vs St Kilda NAB Cup game has been cancelled due to extreme bad weather.

And not a single shit was given.

Well it was sold out in Wangaratta, so I'd say they'd be pretty pissed off.

 

[Axver]

Fuck. In my defence, I'm goddamn sick today.

As for the cricket though, thank god Sri Lanka won last night!

 

[Axver]

And doesn't selling out in Wangaratta mean that three people and a dog intended to go?

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Maybe there were two dogs.

 

[Axver]

That would mean somebody's travelling up from Benalla, wouldn't it?

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Providing there was a functioning ute.

 

[Axver]

And Davo probably spent the petrol money on VB anyway.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Veeee-Beeeeee maaaaaaate.
