Australia will be searching for a clean sweep in their T20 international series after winning the first three matches. The sides meet again in Melbournne for the fourth match in a five-match series. Join The Roar for live scores from 7:10pm AEDT.
Sri Lanka have had chances in all three games to press home an advantage but have fallen short on each occasion including a thrilling Super Over loss in Game 2.
The visitors had Australia in trouble at 2 for 26 deep into the fifth over of Game 3 but couldn’t take their chances against Glenn Maxwell who made them pay in a low-scoring game.
Australia is expected to play Travis Head tonight who will strengthen the top order.
Spin bowler Adam Zampa is also expected to return to the side. He has been in superb form and he’s made a bit of a mockery of the IPL auction after failing to attract a bid.
“I missed out at the IPL auction unfortunately. I’m a little bit flat about that to be honest,” Zampa told the Unplayable Podcast.
“Once all that money gets spent (on batters and fast bowlers), they go, ‘Okay, we need some spinners now,’ and usually they feel like the local guys can do an okay job anyway.
If Zampa plays tonight, the Melbourne Cricket Ground will be even harder for the Sri Lankans to clear the ropes against him.
Join The Roar for live scores from 7:10pm AEDT.

He took forever to get up to the stumps so Finch could throw to him. Any decent batter would have avoided the stumping. But, Wade is great. Don't let the facts get in the way of your argument though.

So is Don the common enemy then or just WA cricketers?

Are you and the Sgt related or just close friends?

2nd top score and most economical bowler in his only game...the losing one against England
Don Freo

Polished.

Carey is no where near the class of Inglis’ keeping or batting. I don’t expect Carey to be our test keeper for too much longer, perhaps two more tests.
Sgt Pepperoni
Roar Rookie
Apologies for giving credit where credit is due. A sharp stumping and an athletic run out should never have been acknowledged. Please forgive me
Jeff
Roar Rookie
Sounds like could become a Don's Party.
Doctor Rotcod
Roar Rookie
Faux outrage suits you. Imagine extolling Wade? Seriously? He, like Carey, has inferior foot movement to Inglis and relies on extravagant dives which look good but often fail. However,you are entitled.
Sgt Pepperoni
Roar Rookie
Just take it round to Don's place, he'll sign it a hundred times no problem. He'll probably cackle maniacally as he does it
Jeff
Roar Rookie
I'll be up early AM getting the 100 signatures to commence the cessation motion in WA Parliament. Just wrong. "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore"
Sgt Pepperoni

Yawn How dare they give it to a non West Australian. Outrageous

How does Maxi get MoM?. Inglis batted better (40 at 200). Agar got 26, 1/14 off 4 while Maxi went at 10 an over. Agar's bowling won the match.

Roar Rookie
Well done Aus, thanks roarers and good night.
Jeff
Roar Rookie
Yeah, not sure why they are testing Agar in the opening spot. Agar can hit out, but seems to me he's best suited to doing it coming in later, rather than playing a 360 game during the powerplay.

Another fine innings from our long term test keeper. Simply brilliant!
