6.30 pm A fairly in-between kind of total, Sri Lanka at one point looked good for 250 with their Nos. 3 and 4 hitting fifties. But neither Kusal Mendis nor Dinesh Chandimal found the going easy on a dry pitch which gave plenty for bowlers willing to slow the pace down. James Faulkner is just that kind of bowler, and he ended up with four wickets on his comeback. Have I missed anything? Hmm.. I keep having this voice in my head saying I've made a glaring err... oh yeah, Mitchell Starc coolly became the fastest bowler to take 100 ODI wickets beating a 19-year old record held by Pakistan offspinner Saqlain Mushtaq. Join us in half an hour for the chase, and brace yourself for lots of spin. Sri Lanka have at least seven who could roll their arm over...

"@rssampat I partly blame the commentators. Every time a batsman scores with that silly scoop shot, they go gaga with comments like, "You beauty", or "That's innovative", or "Cute"." Ouch, that hurts, Jagan. That cuts deep. That... eh, I don't really care.

DanielAlexander: "Australia took 4 hours to bowl the 50 overs, what are the chances of Smith visiting the match referee?"

rssampat: "3 Sri Lankan batsmen got out trying to play that stupid scoop/glance/tuck round the corner shot. When you can Hoick or hit well, wonder why they want to play such a silly low percentage high risk shot??" Especially when the bowlers are offering very little pace to work with. That shot needs the ball to come on so that the little bit of bat lobs the fielders
