the srilanks had to score 7 per over & we have to blame ourselves for allowing them to free their arms.

all our bowlers were a mere shadow of what they were aganist aussie.

was it a bit over confidence after win . . .

it was a very good opporunity to earn more points & we may regret later for this loss may

Hey Jacob:
7 runs per over, but for how long? Just 21 overs. That's nothing in today's world mate.
Have you heard of 20-20? Scores of 150 are routine there.
If the so-called bad Indians can score 105 in the last 10 against Sri Lanka (in their last washed out match), why do you think 154 in 21 is fantastically difficult?
Do you think scoring 16 runs in 2 overs is more difficult (coz its at 8 runs per over) than scoring 154 in 21?
It's all about how much risk can the batters take. SL took the risk, it paid off, they are happy, you are not.
If Jayasuriya had gone Sangakkara's way, SL would have been 50 for 5 or something, and you would have been very happy.
It's just one of those days, move on and enjoy the upcoming contests..
:-)

It was just like a Jaysurya fluke, like Shewag does some time. Any of the boundaries scored by Jasurya may be caught on another day (like Shewag was caught today).
