Sri Lanka v Australia, 1st ODI, Pallekele, August 10, 2011

No Rikki'd thread for an Aussie ODI?

You guys have really lost it. Terrible forumming.

As only a french qunt and a smelly pom have rikkiability its garquen ridiculous to blame the ozzies

You know the drill: start a thread, it'll get Rikki'd.

Same as it ever was.

Aye, Dello. Pretty weak overall. Even worse, it's a squinty, nasal sort of weak.

didn't even know this game was on

This is it, though... dread.... oh we're not very good... let's pretend it all isn't happening. Shambolic. Check out 2007 here - a match thread for every gash England match that gash England played. You lot should seriously be ashamed of yourselves.

It's hard to put up a match thread on the right day when you don't know the game is on ... plus non-Gilly ODIs are rarely more interesting than paint peeling at the best of times

Is there a game on? Fark! I rely on the Rikkis to keep me up to date. FFS...

Sri Lanka 191, it says in the margin. Should be enough against our work experience mob.

Midge, sixth bowler into the attack, and gets six wickets. Ever happened in an ODI before?

Lee's been first bowler, and taken one wicket. So yes.

Pisswek effort lardy.

Not worth an 'a'.

It's a fair cop.

Drab Haddit enters the twilight stages of his career, surely.

And when Haddin was out, it was 59 Runs off 9 overs. Let's see if Ponting is still the fatal anchor to the run rate he has been in the past couple of seasons.

Hello, did Frommie split this? BD and I were happily conversing about the game last night in the SL tour thread. Seemed to do the right thing by the Aus team and have them play some good cricket.

Now we're screwed. The real Midge with his dross pies will surely show up in the next match.

as will the fatally flawed dubbers
