Wow. What a great series. Hopefully SL get at least Mathews back for the finals and hopefully we're in for a ripping last 2/3 games. Ripping Cricket, can't beat one-dayers. :thumbsu::thumbsu:

*01/02 VB Series was quality too.

Fantastic series, great entertainment. :thumbsu:

Shows you how good it's been when Sri Lanka needed to win tonight to make the final, and in doing so they've finished top.

Five matches went to the last over.

Australia beating Sri Lanka by five runs
India beating Australia by six wickets after needing 12 from 4 balls.
The tie.
Sri Lanka beating Australia by three wickets the other night.
Sri Lanka beating us by ten runs tonight.

The finals are going to be huge! Three of our matches versus Sri Lanka have gone down to the wire and going into the final over, you could've seen either team winning.

The only one that wasn't was that horrible performance with the bat setting a pathetic target of 152 that was never going to be enough to win.

Agreed. I have worked from home this summer. I have even liked the non Australian games.

There has not been much working on cricket days. Great stuff :)

Another one went down to the last over! :thumbsu:

SL are real street-fighters....they've done that to us how many times now??

It's been a great ODI series so far but it really needs to go down to a 3rd final decider to be best ever.

I'll be barracking for the Lankans on Tuesday to take it to a 3rd final decider. Might even barrack for them in the decider too, would be a great underdog story if the Lankans got up.

1997/98 Australia/South Africa/New Zealand my favourite.

Just a pity that this series was scheduled in February so for two-thirds of the matches the majority of Australians are at work or school.
