Game Set and Match to Australia, a little anti-climatic after the tremendous comeback by Chandana and Silva

Australia qualify for the finals, and Saturday's Australia-India match is rendered pretty much impotent except for the net run rate factor

Presentations coming up. hard to see anyone but Mark Waugh collecting the corn

3 contenders for MoM: Mark Waugh, Chandana, Silva, and the winner is..... Mark Waugh

Mark Waugh with the sponsor conscious hat on, diplomatically says "Colombo is always fun for us"

Jaya: "I think we lost too many wickets too early.... conditions wer good... we lost too many wickets... "

Steve Waugh: "another good team performance..." mentions Mark Waugh, Ponting, Dale and Martyn... "we're enjoying our cricket... we've got a good squad" etc etc etc

That's all for the day. Next matches are the double header weekend at the Sinhalese Sports Club. Play starts at 0400 GMT.
