Aus v Sri Lanka, T20 WC, Cape Town, 20th Sept

SL bashed minnows (apart from NZ) in this tournament and when they came up against real teams, they sunk without a trace.

To be fair if they batted first against Pak in the last game then they would've had a chance.

Apart from first 2 innings, Jaya had absolutely forgettable outing in this WC.

SL selectors may need to think fast about finding his replacement, he can't play forever.

How awful were Sri Lanka. I fear for them post Jayasuriya and Murali.

Well, that was comprehensive. Excellent stuff from the bowlers and fieldsman, and nicely finished off by Hayden and Gilly. But once again Mr Celery Hammy snaps another one. Surely the selectors can not risk Watto again in the near future. What a liability.

Disappointing game. We'll be quite happy to hand over the mantle (or is it choker chain?) of Aussie
to Sri Lanka.

Only one Sri Lankan batsman(Jasasuriya) got out to a good piece of bowling. The rest of them threw their wickets away.

Jayasuriya got out to a bad piece of umpiring.

Phurt. SL got smashed due to a bad piece of application of cricketing talent.

Its T20 - there is only runs or throwing your wicket away.

So cricinfo editor Sanbit Bal has a massive sook about how unfair it was on SL to start the game early . . .
