'The Fielding Was Very Poor', Says Finch After Losing The Second ODI Against Sri Lanka
Australia skipper Aaron Finch's poor run with the bat, which has dogged him since the ICC T20 World Cup in the UAE, might have contributed to the team's defeat against Sri Lanka at Pallekele on Thursday night, but the 35-year-old blamed collective fielding and batting for the 26-run (DL) loss, which allowed the hosts to equalise the series at 1-1.
Finch was the first Australia batter to depart on 14, and later a well-set David Warner was unlucky to lose his wicket on 37, denying the tourists the start they would have wanted in the chase. Four Australian players fell in the 20s and 30s after making confident starts, while Finch (14), Marnus Labushchagne (18) and wicketkeeper-batter Alex Carey (15) too fell cheaply.
