Australia v Sri Lanka, 2nd T20, Melbourne, 28 January, 2013

Henry wrote:Shoe's on the other foot now from Sydney- Aussies want to get back out there, Sri Lanka don't want to play. Lankans will argue that a precedent was set at the SCG.

Indeed, but shirley there is a simple set of rules?

Dunno why the Lankans would be worried. There is a snowball's chance in hell of Aus making 10 an over to win.

Many of the callers rang up tonight to complain that many left the gates because of inadequate number of staff on duty and because they were steering people with misinformation into the dearer sections.

Hughes will be pulled out of the last three ODIs against the Windies to help him prepare for India.

D./L is unfair in T20. Aus will likely only have five overs to face and need something like 50 runs. A lot more likely for them to get that with 8 wickets still in the shed.

Playing defensive shots in the mirror?

It'll be way more than 50, Trev. More like 70.

There you go. 62 needed in 30 balls with a wet outfield and ball. Sri Lanka very stiff.

don't panic Trev ... they will win easily

After about 15 years of it being used, I still don'know how they work out Duckworth/Lewis. But it's out of date for T20.

So 12 and a bit needed per over. Phurt.

Stop wasting time qunts and farking bowl the ball.

Big scream for caught behind waved away. What will the replay show? 12 off over 1.

Replay seemed to suggest an edge.

Simon Fry- What a clown. Reacted as if the Lankans were silly to even appeal, but Marsh hit the cover off it.

Need a Bog zack per over to have a chance.

I laughed.

Aussie I guess?

Up to 15 an over now.

Another 5 of them would be nice.

Smart full bowling by Koola. Larf should learn from this.

Yep.

17 per over. PMSL.

The Slinga is a bit of a genius in this form.

Need a Chooky Reid over.

Fair hand from Beetle comes to an end at deep mid wicket. 16 needed off 4.
