Match Coverage

All Match News

Commonwealth Bank Series, 2011-12

Wisden's review of the third match, Australia v Sri Lanka, Commonwealth Bank Series, 2011-12

Old-school Clarke can be vital in ODIs

Michael Clarke does not hit big sixes, or switch hits, and has a strike-rate well below 100. But in an age of two new balls and lively pitches, his conservative style could be successful in one-day cricket

Top captaincy, now for the runs

Mahela Jayawardene has been refreshingly aggressive as a leader. Sri Lanka now need him to find his batting touch

Mathews heroics get Sri Lanka close

Though Sri Lanka ended up falling short by five runs, if it were not for Angelo Mathews they would have been beaten easily

Tharanga does a Gambhir

Plays of the Day from the third ODI of the CB series, between Australia and Sri Lanka at the WACA
