AUSTRALIA have thrashed Sri Lanka by 128 runs at the Sydney Cricket Ground with Sri Lanka capitulating for 125.

Nathan Bracken took career-best figures of 5-47 while Brett Lee, Mitchell Johnson and Brad Hogg shared three of the other wickets.

Sri Lanka's only resistance came from Kumar Sangakkara who hit 42 runs off 41 balls before trapped leg before for 42.

Earlier, Michael Clarke was the star of Australia's innings scoring 77 not out off 86 balls.

Matthew Hayden and Adam Gilchrist smashed 65 runs for the opening wicket before Hayden was caught at mid-wicket. Gilchrist went on to make 61.

At least they went down swinging though, it could have been worse...

Bracken was bowling his cutters the whole time at about 120km/h.
 
aussies would have scored 300 if the outfield wasnt so slow bloody rain clarke played well and bracks was fantastic and brad hogg is a champ
 
Calm India cruise to victory
By Adam Cooper

MAHENDRA Singh Dhoni and Rohit Sharma kept their cool to see India home by five wickets, with 25 balls to spare, in the tri-series one-day international against Australia at the MCG.

India breathed new life into the competition by rolling Australia for 159 in 43.1 overs, thanks to some sharp bowling by pacemen Ishant Sharma and Shanthakumaran Sreesanth, who built on the tourists' pre-game confidence.

The tourists' batting was far less assured, but they nevertheless overcame a mid-innings slump to 5-102 to reach 5-160 in 45.5 overs.

The result, just India's fifth one-day win over Australia since the 2003 World Cup final, saw the tourists leap-frog Australia atop the ladder. India top the table, with eight points, ahead of Australia (seven) and Sri Lanka (two).

India seemed to be safe with Sachin Tendulkar at the crease, but they got the wobbles when the veteran fell for 44, caught by a diving Brett Lee at mid-off in the 26th over, and then Yuvraj Singh found the going too tough in the 29th.

But rising star Sharma and captain Dhoni could afford to score at just three an over, and they paced themselves nicely in scoring 39 not out and 17 not out to secure the win in front of the 49,329-strong crowd.

Australia's lack of a fifth specialist bowler hurt them in a match in which the ball clearly dominated on a two-paced wicket.

Dilshan inspires Sri Lanka victory
By Greg Buckle
February 12, 2008

TILLEKERATNE Dilshan's half-century helped Sri Lanka score their first victory of the tri-series with an eight-wicket win over India in their rain-interrupted one-day match.

Dilshan scored an unbeaten 62 to guide Sri Lanka to 2-154 from 19 overs, with two overs to spare, after they were set a revised target at Manuka Oval.

Rohit Sharma hit a career-best 70 not out to lead India to 5-195 from their 29 overs before another rain break meant Sri Lanka's target was reduced.

The win gives Sri Lanka a total of six points from three matches, just behind Australia (7 points from 3 games) and India (8 points from 4 games).

Sri Lankan veteran Sanath Jayasuriya blasted 27 off 13 balls to put on 45 from 3.5 overs for the first wicket with Dilshan.

Good win by the Sri Lankans in what was an unlucky game for them with the rain. I thought the target wasnt going to be run down.

As for the Canberra Pitch, thought it was Fab!
 
Well Stephen Fleming is retiring at the end of the current test series against England (in NZ, not the away series) ... a damn shame, one of the best captains in the history of the game, in my opinion. Hard to believe that he was dropped from the test captaincy after the world cup ... another example of Bracewell killing the game here!

f***, I wanna watch the cricket and they put a current affair on

Congrats to Gilly!!!

Na they are continuing the Aussies innings from where they left off, coz it will be the innings break by the time they start.

Btw, Gilly got out for 118.
 
Australia 7/232 (47.4)

This is a poor effort IMO. The pitch is dead flat and after being 130 after 27 they have only put on 100 in 20 overs since then

Sri Lanka in with a hot chance.

Hussey still in on 25* with 14 balls remaining.

250+ On the cards.
 
Thats dissapointing, at one stage they were looking at 300. Everything slowed down as Gilly went into a safe mode to getting to his 100.
