Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2017 12:57 pmBut a single takes Guna off strike. Three off two actually now, but SL are relying on Malinga at the death, and he's holding a bat.
SL looked dead and buried

That they did - but it was a fine rearguard action from the SL lower order.
SL have a 100% record against Aus in Aus (in T20). I think that makes it 5 out of 5.

Posted: Mon Feb 20, 2017 12:07 amIs the Aussie cricket fraternity wondering why they're playing two series at the same time? Clearly some of the side in India would be playing SL. If Australia don't have the back up to win this series, maybe you can justify criticism of it happening at all?

Its the third series since SL in November that Australia seem to have scheduled for the money and not for the good of Australian results. After SA ODI in November and the recent concluded NZ ODI, it seems the ACB are all about the money.
