Cummins five wicket hat-trick fails to give Australia a decisive edge as Pakistan tail wags. – By TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE.  (eLanka Sports editor)   Pat Cummins continued his heroics with the ball while destroying the myth about the SCG being a spin friendly track. While Nathan Lyon toiled fruitlessly on a bouncy track, the Pakistani batters were treated to another barrage of short stuff that had them ducking and weaving as Australia’s four-prong pace attack peppered them from the first over. The three Test series has been a bouncer war immaterial of the venue, and the batters on both sides will carry battle scars from it that will linger. Pakistan fought back gallantly after the early setbacks to post a competitive score and see to be on top at this stage.  Only Mohammed Rizwan, Aamir Jamal, Barbar Azam and Salman Aghar Ali batted with a degree of confidence while ...

 ‘Hurricane’ Stonis wreaks havoc on hapless Sri Lanka  – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE    Marcus Stonis single handedly destroyed Sri Lanka’s aspirations with a brutal batting performance that catapulted Australia back in contention to defend their T20 World Cup title.  The bouncy Perth track ince again proved to be Australia’s happy hunting ground against lesser teams unable to counter the speed and trajectory,  but no issue for the Australian batsmen. Stonis was a man on a mission bludgeoning a hapless Sri lanka attack to all parts in a memorable knock of 59 off 18 balls with 6 sixers and 4 fours. Until he arrived at the crease,  Sri Lanka appeared to be able to defend an under par total of 157 for 6 in their allotted overs. But his arrival spelt doom for Sri Lanka as he scattered the bowling with disdain to record the fastest half century while ...

Kangaroo flop at Pallekelle – Trevine Rodrigo (Melbourne – eLanka Sports editor)   Australia will question their resolve after they blew a golden opportunity to take a commanding one-day stranglehold over Sri Lanka when a flurry of wickets fell to give the home team a series levelling 24 run win at Pallekelle.  In a second rain affected game in Sri Lanka’s Hill Capital, the Duckworth-Lewis method this time favoured the plucky Lankans who defended a moderate total against much against the tide of expectation.  The Australians currently decimated by injuries to key players have found handy replacements from the squad and have even dug deep into the touring A team to fill in vital spots as the series moves to Colombo for the deciding three games left.  Sri Lanka have not had much success in the one day format in recent times and the win will raise all expectations of ...
