[Discussion Thread] 3rd Test, Australia in Sri Lanka, 2011
September 14, 2011 - 12:43
Here is our final chance to save the series and some pride. If we lose this or draw this Test we lose the series to Australia. That means we lost ODI series and Test series and only won T20 series. Lions must win this game!
Match - 3rd Test: Sri Lanka v Australia at Colombo (SSC)
Date & Time - Sep 16-20, 2011 (10:00 local | 04:30 GMT | 00:30 EDT | 23:30 CDT | 21:30 PDT)
SL team dosent play the brand of cricket they are used to,such a shame.
how can we get aus 20 wickets without mendis in a flat wicket drop p jayawardana make sanga as keeper then we can play extra bowler
you want to drop a batsman when we cant score 250???
we are nothing to lose we already 1 down in the series and we dont want to draw this match. if we want to win we should get 20 wicket without mendis our 4 bowlers (herath,randiv,lakmal and welage..)cant take 20 wickets so we should take risk to play extra bowler.then top order should score runs.im sure this time our top order will score big
I don't think much play will be possible during this match as the N/E monsoon seems to have started.
Ravana, do you think play will start on time?

Thilan dropped and thirimanne and tharanga to open.SL bowl first.
positive move but not sure whether this will work.hopefully it does
I like this team ! Wow dilshan batting at 5 and my two openers in. This is the future of Sri Lanka cricket and full marks to the selectors for having the guts to do it and Dilshan for being man enough to agree to bat 5 for the sake of the team.
Eranga in is also great stuff.
