I missed an absolute cracker of a 50-over match last night. Sri
Lanka almost scripted an astonishing victory had the Australians not held their
nerve in the end. Dinesh Chandimal’s hundred was like grafter and was largely
responsible to give the Sri Lankan score respectability. While, George Bailey
was the main man behind Australia’s victory as he held the innings together
with his calm and composure.
Suddenly the Sri Lankan spinners spit venom and the
Australian innings lost their way from a comfortable 187 for 4. Adam Zampa’s
enthusiastic display didn’t let any rut happen.
Both Chandimal and Bailey showed how important is it to pick
the gaps and rotate the strike in the 50-over format. You cannot apply
porn-movie-like batting display every time. Such sort of batsmanships don’t
trigger orgasms, but they win matches and that’s what a team needs.
Thank You
