WTF??!!! They chase only 152??? We played over half our overs paced as a "50 over" game. They can set there's as a 41 over game from the start. How does it work that they chase less?

Seems D/L system is worked out for the sub-continent sides too...lol!

My guess is the reasoning is Australia were bowled out in less then 41 overs and instead of Sri Lanka getting 50 overs to bat they only get 41 hence a run deduction.

I didn't think about it like that, explains a bit. However I really see no advantage that the team batting first get in losing those wickets. They have already been punished enough with losing those wickets, if they somehow manage to scrap a total then they shouldn't lose those runs.

I know we need a bowler who can bowl yorkers, but is it really justified playing an over the hill half injured Brett Lee?
Half fit, yes...over the hill, don't think so. He generally the best we have in this form of the game. Given no indication of being over the hill just a bit down in match fitness.

We are playing deadset sh1t all round.

Why does Lee keep bowling? He's getting belted so get him off. You'd think we would bring Doherty considering he can slow down the run rate and get wickets. But no we'd rather bring in Christian...
