Not to mention one of the T20s is a day before the first Test against India. I can only assume there is some back history of this series, have Australia cancelled a tour to Sri Lanka previously?

just saw footage of a classic Malinga delivery last night - maybe he will be on fire straight up. Fast outswinging, inswinging yorker that hit the bottom of middle and sent it cartwheeling. A great "highlights" wicket.

Seriously, why Klinger?

If going old White would have been better. And hes even 3 years younger than Klinger.

he's started ok

might have been a good idea to throw in a couple of youngsters given so many regualrs are missing anyway but its also good to see CA recognising performances in the BBL

Moises Henriques has been around for a while. Surprising that he has only represented Australia 18 times. Thought he would have had more ODI to his name.

168 looks a decent score on this pitch, especially with an australian bowling attack that still looks pretty strong for this format even with the absentees

Tharanga out for a duck.

Dickwella and munaweera had useful knocks but they didn't push on.

Gunaratne gets a half century and then gets out.
:d'oh:
Siriwardana suffered a shocking lbw decision.
:angry
Was that reiffel? I wonder if this howler will receive equal media coverage.
