Can't help but feel we got out of jail in this game. The selections were wrong, we bowled first and relied on Wade getting a crucial hundred and the tail wagging pretty hard. Had we not done that, the total we chased in the last innings would have been significantly higher. I reckon if it were 200 or more Herath would have eventually rolled us.
Make no mistake, a better team than SL (no disrespect to them, but their ranking isn't terrific and they have plenty of blokes injured) would have knocked us off.
Nevertheless, we've finished the summer 3-1 which isn't too bad. I'm bloody disappointed that we folded so badly at the WACA and couldn't get the chocolates in Adelaide. We should have at least squared that series with the Saffas and didn't.
