Current Scores:
Australia 1/49 (6.5 overs)
Gilchrist 31*
Hayden 13
de Silva 1/1
6.5 de Silva to Hayden, OUT: down the track comes Hayden, trying for the huge heave-ho over midwicket. But he doesn't keep his eye on the ball, which keeps low and straight and crashes into the stumps. The bowling change doing the trick here.
Three quick wickets later....

Australia 8/162
48.1 overs
And it looks like Warney has been stumped big time
And it is out
9/162
Wonder if we can somehow get this to 170

All out for 162
McGrath still cant bat
Good effort to make that much after being 6/98.
Poor effort by our middle order.

Sri Lanka won easily in the end by 7 wickets with around 11 overs to spare. We were caught out on a turning track last night and with very little quality match practice leading into the game.
Aravinda De Silva turned the match for Sri Lanka taking 1 for 17 off his 10 overs and coming in at a time when Gilchrist and Hayden were going at over 8 runs per over. Warne and Lee showed some fight late on, but 162 was never going to be enough to challenge the Sri Lankan batting line up on their own ground.
Cheers!!
