I heard on the news punta wasnt to happy he wasnt worth more but going on his current form im not to supprised :P

Some of the other prices on players heads are rediculous for sure. Dhonis good but surely not worth the most, doesnt even move his feet properly..
 
I didn't see the NZ match, but it will have to go down as a case of what could have been for NZ. How had some decent scores vs South Africa in South Africa before he went to Australia, but it is a tough ask playing the best in the world at home. He's shown with that knock that he has what it takes at international level, though.
 
Australian Bowlers are doing it, batting has been shocking lately.

Looks like it could be washed out hence, then AUS would win under DL
 
Australia 184/7 (50 ov)
Sri Lanka 77/4 (29.3 ov)
Australia won by 24 runs (D/L method)
______________________________

After 9 Games:

Australia Played 6, Pts 22
India Played 6, Pts 12
Sri Lanka Played 6, Pts 6
