As nice as it has been to see Australia not collapse, watching Hughes bat has been boring. His selfish batting trying to get a 100 has put Australia in a bad place runs wise. 220-230 is not going to be enough in 50 overs. T20's are getting 180 in 20, anything under 250 is not enough.
Once Hussey got out, I was half expecting our best batsman to come out and score some quick runs, but Maxwell is a good lower end slugger. (As I type this, Hughes has finally started to score some runs at a decent clip, only after scoring a century
). I'd like to know what Henriques has done to get so many chances, just so we can tell Khawaja and Finch what they need to do.
Sri Lanka should win this in a canter, as long as they resist their natural urge to collapse after losing an early wicket.
