Step up Xavier Doherty

People were asking who he was, so what a way for Xavier Doherty to respond, taking Australia to a crushing victory in their ODI v Sri Lanka.

[Later note....Ahem. I made the mistake of thinking Australia could close the game out but it appears they didn't! That will teach me to post before the end of a match...apologies!]

    Sorry Ed, your link to a crushing victory shows a crushing win by Sri Lanka. At 107-8 Richie Benaud said "this isn't over until Mathews is out"

    Crazy!!! I thought about not posting to the end of the game after Razzaq's innings the other day....it seems no result is ever certain these days. But I thought a Sri Lankan win was just too far-fetched. Came out a meeting to see they'd won! Incredible....

    I think they're trying to court underdog sympathy and are are als using whatever is the reciprocal of competence to build expectations and therefore pressure onto us.
