SL demolish Aussies

Friday, 18 January 2013 11:15

Sri Lanka put up a stupendous bowling performance to bowl Australia out for 74 runs, in the 3rd One Day International played at the Gabba.

The bowling attack spearheaded by Nuwan Kulasekara (5/22) demolished the Aussie batting lineup, which crumbled to their 3rd lowest score in One Day Internationals.

welldone kula!!!
Pity couldnt finish them off when they were 40-9.missed a record thats around since 1977!!!

If they could achieve that feat, roshan, the record would have stood forever. Anyway we should be grateful to our boys for the awesome display of disciplined bowling, and rising up from the " Test ashes " like the proverbial phoenix. Well done boys.

Maybe the team got worried when they saw what is happening to the CJ and lawyers of this country.

Without enjoying these sort of performances and moments, some fellows somehow try to find a link to every damn thing with politics.

He is just a maniac. Never mind.

How do you know? Have you ever met me?

Hey guys, cool down. Can't you recognize a sarcastic comment when you see one ?

-4+4 # Kalubanda 2013-01-18 14:18

But you forget that it is politics and politicians that have crept into everything !

-1+7 # ICCStats 2013-01-18 12:54

aristotle said humans are political animals but you sir are overdoing it - dont try to see politics in everything unless you are a politician yourself.

-7+1 # Chow Chow 2013-01-18 17:39

This is an excellent comment. Eventhough this person disagrees with me, he has done it in a very civil manner. I gave your comment a thumbs up, Sir.

-4+5 # Ranjith Suriyakula 2013-01-18 13:37

May be its for the Joy the New CJ as a welcome celebration.!.

-5+26 # Lobo 2013-01-18 11:56

Well done for playing to your potential.

-2+5 # Nodrog 2013-01-19 08:09

ado dhak mate, you sound like a spoil-sport aussie supporter. must have hurt like hell to lose like that no? and if you're looking for a retard...just look in the mirror, mate!

-3+0 # dhak 2013-01-20 15:27

nah when i see your comments it shows to me what retards like to say

-0+2 # Nodrog 2013-01-21 06:32

dhak-mate, your comments confirm your moronic and ignorant state.

-31+11 # gudy 2013-01-18 11:58

Mahela, pls retire. why can't u think different. otherwise aussies were not to get past 70!

-1+27 # gudy 2013-01-18 11:58

well done kula.

-5+1 # Criclover 2013-01-18 13:18

who was the negative(poor) comment for this....

-4+13 # Kondebendapucheena 2013-01-18 11:58

Awesome feelings This would have been much better if they all out below 70 there lowest total ever. Congrads from Durban,South Africa

-3+17 # MirakRajBanda 2013-01-18 12:00

Over confidence pays a price. That's what happened in last world cup final against WI.
Wait till end of the game! We are all following the match wherever we are.
Good Comeback Sri Lanka.

-2+17 # Sammy 2013-01-18 12:05

Awesome bowling performance indeed but don't get carried away. Bat sensibly & bell the kangaroo in its own den.

-11+9 # kane 2013-01-18 12:19

Are Sri Lanka going to bite the sand? They are now 4 wickets down for 42.

-1+4 # parippu 2013-01-18 12:51

All the good work done by the bowlers are eaten by the change in batting line up. If they dint have confidence in Tharanga why did he play in the first place. Mahela come on man is this how you want to end things???

-3+2 # kane 2013-01-18 13:37

I am happy we have finally won this game by 4 wickets, due to the ozs dropped catches.

-6+2 # ind 2013-01-18 12:20

Now I don't mind even if we loose next two matches after this fantastic show !

-13+1 # E 2013-01-18 12:26

FIXED

-6+0 # Anura 2013-01-18 12:34

Now SL get all out for 70 and be rich. its all part of cricket guys.good luck.

-3+12 # Bandula 2013-01-18 12:37

Its too early, Sri lanka should get 75 to win this match.

-4+1 # aliya 2013-01-18 12:45

Govt also must be celebrating the same way..but you just wait!

-0+2 # Kan 2013-01-18 13:17

keep it up

-4+1 # budhika 2013-01-18 13:36

man of the match " pitch of the ground "

-0+3 # shan2 2013-01-18 13:45

wonderful bowling from Kula....... and we almost lost the match...... our incapability to bowl out them when they down 48/8 shows our lack of dept in bowling.
and we batted as if we were going to catch the next flight out. winning is not always good to be perform consistently, its how you win or lose......

Congratulations for a Job Well-done. (Mahela should have used Malinga's full 10 overs and bowled Ausies out lower than 74 though)

-0+4 # mail_guy 2013-01-18 13:59

we should have won wothout losing any wickets or losing 1 or 2 wicket. Ausies won't feel so bad at the end of the day but we should be ready for 4th ODI because it is going to be a massive Aussie attack.

-10+4 # Lobo 2013-01-18 14:11

Lost all the matches in Aussie...just one win...look at the heading..s.l demolish Aussie....
People. This is good to fool the majority Buddist in this country ,like our racist government is doing...

i wonder where the guy was who was saying article should read Sri Lanka beat Australia A....when we won the last match...

time for jeevan mendis to be replaced. he is not comfortsble eith quicks

-1+8 # Mohan 2013-01-18 14:25

Good win for Sri Lanka thanks to the bowlers, who bowled with good line and length. Drop Jeewan and Tharanga and bring in Chandimal and Ajantha to win the game at Sydney.

-0+5 # ICCStats 2013-01-18 16:11

chandimals injured hope he recovers if he does he will probably replace tharanga.

-1+8 # Gon Aliya 2013-01-18 14:30

They nearly chocked. Thanks to Kusal Perera.

-3+2 # Ranil 2013-01-18 14:53

MR starting looking his files fast for quick action to make use this victory... hey ministers!!! Wake up.., what is next in our list... act fast..make use this opportunity.. any price hike or sacking...hurry up....

-4+9 # Pragmatic Porak 2013-01-18 15:24

Where are all the Malinga haters?
Once again he bowled as fast and as accurately as he can, but this time he was able to get some good rhythm and get 3 important wickets.
I expect a few thumbs down for this comment, only because I know how bitter many Sri Lankan "fans" are. All they see is negativity

-0+3 # patriot 2013-01-18 16:18

oya ela porak!!

-0+1 # Himal 2013-01-18 16:28

Yep. right on money. Only thing i hate is the way we choke at batting! 2003 semi finals, 2009 finals, 2011 finals and then 2012 finals. Only in 2007 finals( its was Gilly's cup - remove him and we would have won) that the bowlers couldn't deliver.

-1+1 # sabana 2013-01-19 08:35

It is because of "once in a while hero worshippers" like you that we are not a good cricketing nation. We use outdated ammunition expecting them to fire once in a while by luck or by chance. We dont have the backbone to use sure fire ammunition in the form of young performing players. If Upul Tharanga gets a 50 next match, I reckon you will be saying the same. I cant remember the last time he did. But one 50 from him will be OK with you to play him for another 50 matches.....Shows that you never played any sport nor have the guts to accept change.....

-4+2 # Abdul 2013-01-18 17:57

i thought we demolished aussies by economie when i saw the news title
