Match Notes

Sri Lanka tour of Australia 2007-08 News

  • When Sanga took on Australia

    The last time Sri Lanka played a Test in Hobart, they nearly pulled off an impossible heist. Kumar Sangakkara looks back at his epic innings there

  • Gilchrist fires but Sri Lanka get consolation win

    Adam Gilchrist provided the fireworks but Sri Lanka's seamers had the extinguisher at the MCG, where Australia's blistering start of 0 for 107 in the 15th somehow turned into their first loss in nearly three weeks

  • 'Our finals begin now' - Gilchrist

    Australia will treat Friday's dead-rubber against Sri Lanka as their first final ahead of the best-of-three CB Series deciders with India starting on Sunday

  • Rain helps Australia to 24-run win

    The slow MCG pitch was causing just as many problems for Sri Lanka as Australia and at the halfway mark of a small chase the visitors had staggered to 4 for 65

  • Ponting's rut grows deeper with run out

    "The pitch was really slow, very hard to get your timing and to penetrate the field," Michael Hussey, named Man of the Match for an unbeaten 64, said
