Got slaughtered last time out, tbf.
Last time out Johnston took another massive wicket in his fourth over. Cusack's in the side to bowl at the death, and on the whole he does it to a decent standard. Johnston's there to take early wickets.

Aye. It's how West bowls, but when you've been keeping the score down but not taking many wickets it isn't the time for floating it up.

Crucial wicket for McCallan. Jayasuriya looks non-plussed tho.

Hawkeye has it taking middle and leg and it looked a good shout in real time too.

83/3 off 12.

Jayawardene on 46 off 32. It sums up what kind of player he is that I barely even noticed.

Mahela is batting well out there, Dilshan failed for once, against Rankin (who should of played vs NZ but nevermind).

SL will still win easily, anything above 130 will be too big for the boys in green.

"Medium-fast" a tad flattering for mine.
Hahaha yeah. Bowls slower than Johann Botha itbt.

That's all good in those circumstances though, with no hitters at the crease and a wicket just down. As long as he keeps it straight. Not outside off stump on the half-volley.

Good bowling and all, but the batting seems to be a bit too laid back. Seems they've decided 150 will be enough (which it probably will, tbf).

Was briefly confused by the Cricinfo headlines:

Aus v WI
Australia stay on course
MBE for Edwards

More good bowling, but we really need to back it up with some tight bowling when we get wickets in future. There's no point getting someone out if you let them score just as fast as they were before afterwards.

Hmm Ireland a chance here - How they negotiate the Triple M threat will be the deciding factor

Ireland have given themselves a real good chance here. Should be interesting to see how they cope.

Absolutely delighted with that. It's a lot to chase against such a difficult attack to face, but if nothing else we've kept Sri Lanka to less than Pakistan, Australia or the West Indies did.
