Sri Lanka's Victory

Game 9 in Hobart on Friday the 24th.

After a good start in batting by Australia it looked liked the Aussies had done very well especially after Peter Forrest made a century and Clarke trailing behind him with 72. But the tourists came out with a good fight with great batting from Jayawardene making 85 from 80.But good bowling from the Aussies getting 5 wickets in 10 overs looked like it would be a good match and it was, coming down to the 2nd last and last over with Mathews hitting a 4 and a 6 to make it 3 from the last over. Clarke brought the field in close on the last over but the Sri Lanka  batsman smashed a 4 through the covers to claim victory!!
