Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste

Tim Friend reports from Pristina on preparations for the parliamentary poll.
Political parties in Kosovo have finished campaigning as the territory prepares for its first parliamentary elections since its declaration of independence from Serbia in 2008, amid fears of a partition along ethnic lines.
Sunday's snap election comes after the government of Hashim Thaci, the prime minister, failed a vote of no confidence on November 2.
Around 1.6 million people are eligible to vote for the 120-seat parliament, an election official said. Twenty-nine political parties, coalitions and citizens' initiatives are in the race.
Ten of the parliamentary seats are reserved for minority Serbs, some of whom are running in the poll.
However, most Serbs in Kosovo are expected to boycott the elections, heeding calls from Serbia's leaders, who still consider Kosovo part of their country.
Thaci has called upon minority Serbs to break with tradition and vote on Sunday, urging them to build a common future for European Kosovo.
"I believe Kosovo citizens, institutions and people of Kosovo they will achieve high level standard of free and democratic elections," he said.
Coalition likely
The main contenders in the election are the two largest political parties, Thaci's Democratic Party of Kosovo and its former junior coalition partner, Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK).
Polls favour Thaci's party to win the ballot but without a clear majority, indicating that he will likely be forced to seek a coalition partner.
His main rival, the LDK, enters the election bruised by a power struggle, while the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo is weakened because its leader, former fighter Ramush Haradinaj, is on retrial on war crime charges by a UN tribunal.
The election campaign has seen several newcomers, including Albin Kurti, a former student activist, whose Self-Determination movement advocates Kosovo's unification with Albania and rejects talks with Serbia.
Kurti said he believed that the people had held "high expectations" about the declaration of independence but that only politicians had benefited.
"People see that the main beneficiaries of this formal independence have been politicians not the citizens," he said.
Partition concerns
The vote will be held amid suggestions that Kosovo's northern region, mainly inhabited by Serbs, is heading towards a partition.
Christopher Dell, the US ambassador to Kosovo, has warned that such a development could spark renewed ethnic violence across the region, according to a series of secret diplomatic cables, released by the WikiLeaks website on Thursday.
The rise in tensions could also cast doubts over upcoming EU-brokered talks between Kosovo and Serbia.
Leading up to the weekend poll, assailants on Wednesday ambushed and killed a Bosniak leader loyal to Kosovo's ethnic Albanian-dominated institutions involved in organising the elections in the northern town of Mitrovica.
The town has been divided between ethnic Albanians and Serbs since the end of the 1999 war.
For majority ethnic Albanians, the ballot is held amid hopes that it will inch the struggling territory closer to eventual membership of the European Union, even as the 27-member bloc shows a weakened resolve to take in new members dogged by the global financial crisis.
Five members of the EU have refused to recognise Kosovo as an independent state.
With an unemployment rate at 40 per cent, in a territory with the youngest population in Europe and a political leadership tainted by EU police investigations for corruption, many observers believe the chances of moving closer to the EU are slim.
So far, around 70 countries have recognised Kosovo as an independent state, including the US and Japan.

|Why didn't everyones favorite hellsing fan Zac Bertschy write this review?? The only thing that I've been absolutely disappointed with Hellsing Ultimate is the severe lack of music that correlates good with the series. I only wish that they could use the music from the original hellsing anime series

Oh well.
I actually like the BGM. It gives it more of an epic feeling, especially the ED. The ED animation without the credits is wonderful.

Man, what a rough review...
Hellsing has always predicated itself on the violence and action. The fact that it does so in stylish fashion by combining something as age-old as vampires, ghouls, and the supernatural with a modern-day setting and all kinds of flashy pizzazz (i.e. weapons, powers, and organizations specialized in this kind of warfare) is where a lot of the charm comes from, and now it even has a little comedy (albeit, very off-beat, but a nice way of changing up the pace every now and then).
Aside from Vampire Hunter D (which is way beyond contemporary), you can't really argue many other titles of this genre that pull off the same concept and succeed (because Blood+ gets way too melodramatic for its own good towards the end ).
I also don't see how a remake of the franchise is doing any harm. Sure, the TV series was able to draw the plot out longer in 6 episodes, but that's the way it works, it's a TV series. For those who've long awaited a proper telling of the story and without spoiler[ essentially killing off most of the good guys like Incognito did, and thus leading to a real short series], there's really nothing worth complaining about unless you just really liked how the filler in the TV series turned out, which I don't believe most people did.
And a 'D' for the music? Why does everyone but me hate it? Sure, Kouji Ishii's punk rock had more style to it. But to give it a 'D' for the efforts of a man who tried his best in making the soundtrack more eclectic with the use of off-beat rock, pop, jazz, and an even more illustrious orchestral score during the ending credits? I don't see how you can make the comparisons so extreme when it's basically the same as how you usually go about grading dubs.
Even for the most generally disliked or mediocre dubs, you usually give nothing lower than a B-, saying something like "it's not as up to par with the Japanese actors, but it's bearable" (or whatever). And with Ultimate being a remake, (essentially a "dub over," figuratively speaking), you've got new production values, including the music. But because the music isn't as great as the previous score, it just all of a sudden gets a grade as low as a D? That doesn't seem like a fair judgement, given how meticulously you compare, compliment, or try to find even ground in just the voice acting in a lot of your other reviews (a topic of much debate, I'm sure, amongst anime fans in general), but now all of a sudden the music just "sucks" compared to it's previous composer, therefore it gets a D?
Also, what is the content and presentation of this review based on; your own personal liking, or an objective point of view that takes all kinds of anime into consideration? I know I'm only one fan, but surely there are more people who may think otherwise of the review (at least in comparison to Zac's of the first volume). Do you just not like uber-violent anime in general, or can you honestly say that Hellsing isn't a success in trying to be what it is; pure, unadulterated action that's cool for the sake of cool?

|Sorry, to say this but whoever wrote this review clearly must have been smoking crack. The Dub only got a B+? WTF, are you kidding me? The dub was beyong amazing for this series. Especially Josh Phillips playing Jan Valentine. But where do you get off justifying a B+? The reviewer is afraid to admit that this show is really awesome despite it's violence, the acting is great even when there is no violence it's just a really fun show.

I try not to disagree with the critics here but I want to mention that Theron's statement about how this isn't the "best adaptation ever" bugs me. Yes, it is; any fan of the comics would recognize that this is a truly faithful rendering. That line of Jan's he quotes isn't a throwback or an homage to the TV series, it's dialogue taken straight from the comics.
This review seems to continue to compare the OVA to the TV series, which misses the point; Hellsing Ultimate should be compared to the manga, because that's what they went back to to create it. When compared to the actual source material that they're adapting, which believe it or not is NOT the TV series (which is best forgotten at this point), Hellsing Ultimate holds up almost perfectly.
And yeah, giving the music a D just because you don't like it as much as the TV series' music isn't fair, I don't think. The music isn't TERRIBLE, it's just not as good. If you'd never heard the original TV score, would you still have given the music here a D?
Also, saying "nobody can argue that this is one of the best dubs in existence" and then giving it a B+? What?
I was also disappointed that no mention was made of the big leap in animation quality between the last episode and this one. The first episode had relatively mediocre and sometimes straight-up awkward animation; this one was clearly animated either on a larger budget or with more talented animators, because it's much more fluid than the first one.
Everyone knows I'm an unabashed Hellsing fan so I'm completely biased here, but I just had to get that off my chest.

Um...I don't think he gave JUST the dub a B+. Rather, he gave a B+ to the show in dubbed form, which he felt was better than the show in subbed form (which got a B).

I think that its suppose to be an overall grade, but yeah I also think that while I could see disc one being a B+ to a B, this disc really does deserve an A.
The animation is definitely top notch, looks as Alucard transforms and also as Victoria blast a round through the center of the ghouls.
As for the comparison to the TV series, I could see comparison being warranted in music category (which I think that have been about equal) and maybe the animation quality, but Zac is right lets compare the Ultimate Hellsing to the source material. That what all of us were excited about when news of this story broke that we were getting a new Hellsing series. We all wanted to get the real story, we wanted the complete Hellsing story animated.

I thought this was a pretty good review for the most part. It had a valid point about it being nothing more than an excuse for lots of violence, extreme gore and lots of foul language at its roots. That's really is all that it is, but it succeeds beautifully because it's just do damn cool in it's execution and characters. Not to mention the dub is absolutely superb this time around. It blows the original dub out of the water.
Although, I don't think the music deserved a D. Sure it doesn't really live up to the great music in the TV series, but think it fits pretty well with the slightly different feel the OVA is going for when compared to the TV series. The OVA does seem a bit darker due to there not being any limits on the gore and whatnot, and of course there's a bit more comic relief than in the TV series. That being said, I think it's perfectly logical to have a different take when it comes to the soundtrack. The OVA is making it very clear that is isn't going to be to be a clone of the TV series. More like a clone of the manga. Yeah, I would have preferred music closer to the original TV series, but I'm not overly disappointed with the soundtrack.
Also, calling not calling it the greatest adaptation irks me. To me this is THE Hellsing. You can forget the TV series. It's great and all, but it pales in comparison to the OVA in almost every aspect. In the OVA, the animation and art are better, the dub is better, and the story is better since there won't be any lame filler this time around. The OVA only fails when it comes to the music (but it doesn't fail miserably). I loved the original series, but the OVA is much, much better. Overall it's a much more fulfilling Hellsing experience.
Like Zac I'm biased, being a huge Hellsing fanboy and all, but I still thought I'd have a say in this.

This review did seem a little off. After seeing orginal hellsing and seeing this a year or so later I can say that the show jumped from "cool" to crazily awesome.
The way they showed spoiler[Alucard transforms and starts spazzing in anger all over the room] was beatiful. all of the fights moved fluidly (no pun intended with all the blood) and the music wasn't that bad.
i forgot i loved jan so much- Josh did a crazy good job. Some of his lines made me have to pasue the dvd because I was laughing so hard.
And yeah- this was one of the best dubs in existance. i think because of it being so it should get an A+. Hell- it should get an A alone for Crispin- i loved when Alucard was spoiler[standing over Luke screaming at him to stand and prove himself of being a true vampire.]
This reminds me...I need to buy a Jan plushie.

Apparently I should have chosen my words a little more carefully in that last paragraph because people are misunderstanding what I meant there. When I was talking about it not being the "be-all and end-all uber-great adaptation," I was not referring to how accurately it recreates the manga - which I can't comment on authoritatively, since I haven't read it. I was referring to the way I've seen people absolutely idolize this production when (IMO, anyway) it's only a "good" production and not a "great" one even when compared to the standard set by similar series of its type. (And for anyone not clear about what I mean by that, I'm referring to other ultraviolent anime in general, not just vampire anime.)
Yes, remember that the Dub grade is an Overall grade; I certainly would have given the dub an A or A+ grade if evaluated as a separate category. Yes, I felt the soundtrack grade was warranted even without comparison to the original - it was possibly the single most disappointing soundtrack I've heard in the past year - but I also think it would be utterly unfair not to compare it to the much better and more effective soundtrack in the TV series. (If almost everyone's going to go on about how the OVAs are so much better, why not place emphasis on the one place where they very clearly aren't?) As for the animation, I will concede that Zac may have a better eye for that than I do.
Look, I knew when I wrote and turned this one in that it was not going to be well-received. I know, based on earlier threads in these forums, that my take the OVAs (especially compared to the equivalent content in the TV series) is far different than the vast majority of fans out there, so if you want to disagree with my take on the content, I have no problem with that. Zac has already made it clear that he is a big fan of the OVAs, so I thought it might be of value to see how someone who has a radically different opinion looks at them. If you don't see it that way, then I apologize for wasting your time.
And really, people, I did still give it a B+ overall. It isn't like I totally trashed it.

I believe its fair to say a lot of opinions will change on the series come the third episode. People who are unfamiliar with the manga and compare the OVA soley to the TV series arn't getting the point of what we are saying as manga fans. They'll understand soon enough though.
Speaking of which, wtb episode 4 with R.V.W. =).

Well, that's exactly why I published it instead of writing my own. Your perspective isn't wrong, it's just different, and isn't in lock-step with the hardcore fans, of which this series has many.
Don't take it too hard; nobody's singling you out for being a bad critic. Your viewpoint simply goes against what the majority of the audience for this title thinks, and that's bound to create dissent. I posted my own feelings simply to get them out there and create a discussion, not to knock you down.
You're comparing this release to other, similar titles (of which I would submit there aren't many) and to the original TV series, whereas the ONLY thing I would compare it to is the manga, since the stated goal of this OVA is to faithfully recreate that. They've done that, so I'm happy.
Again, you're not wrong, you just see it from another angle. And I try to promote that here. Hence why I published the review in the first place.

This review just reminds me of the Hellsing detractors. For a long time it seemed anime was divided into those who loved Excel Saga & those who loved FLCL & rarely the 2 mixed. ALso it seems anime fans love or hate Hellsing. (ANd Eva) As one of the first fans here in the States (preordered the box sight unseen-still have the bloodpak in my butter drawer in my fridge) I pushed this one hard to everyone who seemed to like horror & action & I'd run into incredible statements like the gal working at Suncoast in the Valley who hated the show because she noticed the art wasn't consistant--the proportions were off at times so she used that as an excuse to hate it.
This ep was cool. Sorry, I watched it mostly in Japanese. (How many times have Koyasu & Nakata played enemies? They're great). I was a bit surprised when Nakata said the line "Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! in English--it rook a second before I realized it. And I was trying very hard--I swear those 2 said Alucard. It's so much fun to listen to Japanese VA's tackle English--these weren't bad. Wataru Takagi's Jan was cool..
The changes were sublte, but an improvement. I don't recall Luke being such a neat-freak. His movements were much cooler while Alucard was brilliant in the portrayal of how he finally thought he found a worthy foe.
THe reviewer almost sounded disappointed we saw so little of Seras (I wasn't.) I love the humor. I want that Harkonan guy oto appear! Too bad we won't likely get Luke & Jan's commentary from the backs of each volume (Not to mention that FMA spoof...)
Too much blood & violence for violence's sake? That's what Hirano's about. Early on in the back commentaries he said he was happy not to be drawing porn on demand like his prior efforts.
And if the critic thinks this was straight from the tv series, he's wrong. I was amazed at the amount they changed in the name of sticking with the manga Hellsing is one of the few titles in my collection I've watched 4 or 8 times (like Descendants of Darkness). I seem to recall more zombies last time out & less of an emphasis on who was pulling the Valentine Brothers' string. THis is about where the TV series started self-destructing because they dropped the nazi plot which changed the direction. Which also means ep 3 will be headed into more new territory.

Completely true, but for me there are releases like the Hellsing Ultimate and Le Chevalier D'eon which have been amazing. And I could understand the first disc getting a lower score, but for something like this I thought it was a guarantee A. I mostly find myself in agreement with most everything you say, but I just didn't agree with the music score, but hey to each his/her own. Your review was still informing to people who haven't seen/bought this disc, and it certainly was a different opinion then what most of the hardcore fans expected but it still got the job done.

This room was great! Beautiful room and comfy beds. Clean room and bathroom. Balcony with screen door. Mini fridge and coffee pot. Clean sheets. Truly a wonderful experience! Im so glad we didnt believe the bad reviews and went with it anyway.
1: very few of the rooms are "beach front".
2: "Beach front and SPA" meaning a small pool heated so hot it burns your skin. Not the luxury you're thinking of.
3: The "water park" is awful. Many of them didn't work and the ones that did sprayed so hard it hurt your skin.
4: The pool was so chlorinated...
Terrible, terrible experience! The rooms are extremely damp and musty. Our 1 year old encountered respiratory issues from how musty the rooms were and we needed to check out a day early. I stopped in to talk to management and they apologized and offered a de-humidifier (as if they already know the moisture is an issue) and when I indicated...
We did not stay here but did use their splash pad/ indoor pool area. The splash pad was very fun for our four year old son, and the bonus was that the water used was very warm. However the entire inside pool area was filthy! The ceilings and walls were moldy and dirty and the extremely large hot tub was...
cum stains on the sheets, ants in the room, poor service, rude people, didn't get the room we booked. we asked for lakeside and got courtside, we had rude neighbors, didn't get our own parking spot. we were told to find somewhere else to park and walk. just one of the worst place to go!
Hotel was a great deal and was right on the beach with a view of the bridge. Close to the boat docks and all kinds of attractions. Staff was friendly and helpful. Room was very large and beds were comfortable. The decor is out of date and the pool and water park (only fun for young children) need some freshening...
We got smokin deal, nice room, and a breakfast. But: there was only one bath towels for the three of us (we could have called the front desk, but did not really notice till it was time to go) and the breakfast left allot to be desired (the meat looked like Armidillo)
But the price was fine and we were...
I am surprised at the horrible reviews, we were quite happy with our stay. The price was right. Actually got the room $10 cheaper directly through the hotel than Booking.com. We had a delux two queen room with balcony. The room appeared as though it had just recently been remodeled and was very clean. Breakfast was a little crowded, but...
I had read the reviews AFTER I had booked. I must say the people with previous reviews must have expected 5 star catering. The hotel was great. My kids Loved the watermark. Only 2 things were wrong, hot tub wasn't hot at all.... And these tiny black fly things had made their way into our room (don't worry they are...
For only $67, we booked a room with two queens. Upon arrival, they told us they had freely upgraded us to a beachfront room. The furniture was old, but clean, and the free breakfast was pretty good. We also enjoyed going to the waterfront a couple hotels down (access was free). I thought for $67 our experience was very good!!

NZ way down the WikiLeaks queue
Related Links
Relevant offers
Whistle-blower WikiLeaks has dumped another load of secret American cables on the internet this morning and for the fourth day running, there is nothing from the US Embassy in Wellington.
WikiLeaks claims that 1500 cables from Wellington are included in the 250,000 despatches they have.
Currently they are publishing around 30 a day.
That means the public might read the Wellington US Embassy's assessment of just elected Prime Minister John Key around the time he celebrates his 72nd birthday in 2033.
New Zealand's solitary references in the released cables to date come in a discussion about South Korea's interested in a Pacific free trade zone. It is not embarrassing.
There is also a London cable which says that "New Zealand is pushing hard for full suspension" of Fiji from the Commonwealth.
It is a modest surprise given that Foreign Minister Murray McCully's publicly stated policy is that he wanted to open dialogue with the military regime now running Fiji.
Another mention of New Zealand makes it into a just released cable from the US Embassy in the Indian capital, New Delhi.
It refers to the November 2008 Mumbai terror attacks in which Pakistan based men killed at least 175 people in India's financial capital.
The US Embassy met diplomats from the Australian, British, Canadian, and New Zealand High Commissions who briefed each other on how they were responding to the attack.
"They concluded that any offers of assistance should be made carefully to avoid being interpreted by the Indians as politically motivated or attempts to monitor their actions. Delhi-based missions are taking extra care at this stage to not get sucked into the blame game Pakistan and India are currently playing," the cable says.
In the released cables to date, New Zealand is noticeable only because no one thinks to mention the country.
A "Secret - Not for Foreign Eyes" cable (the highest level of secrecy) cable written in 2004 sets the scene for then President George Bush's visit to Canada.
Released today, the cable deals with international intelligence sharing, which New Zealand is part of through the Echelon Network which includes the Waihopai spy base in Marlborough. It has long been defended on the grounds that New Zealand gets intelligence back.
But the cable today shows that New Zealand and Canada have been put out in the cold - although we are not mentioned.
"A potential irritant on the Canadian side that may be raised has to do with sharing of intelligence regarding Iraq operations," the new cable says.
"The (Canadian) government is aware that we are creating a separate US-UK-Australia channel for sharing sensitive intelligence, including information that traditionally has been US eyes only."
The Canadian Government believed this might be a 'punishment' for Canada's non-participation in Iraq and they fear that the Iraq-related channel may evolve into a more permanent 'three-eyes' only structure".
France and Canada feature heavily in today's WikiLeak dump.
US diplomats are revealed as heavily disliking the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation which, a US official says has "long gone to great pains to highlight the distinction between Americans and Canadians in its programming, generally at our expense.
"We need to do everything we can to make it more difficult for Canadians to fall into the trap of seeing all US policies as the result of nefarious faceless US bureaucrats anxious to squeeze their northern neighbour," concludes the cable.
"The US is overwhelmingly important to Canada in ways that are unimaginable to Americans," says another cable.
But President Barack Obama seems to have patched things up, for another cable released today hails his popularity north of the border.
"Your decision to make Ottawa your first foreign destination as President will do much to diminish - temporarily at least - Canada's habitual inferiority complex vis-a-vis the US and its chronic but accurate complaint that the US pays far less attention to Canada than Canada does to us."
Meanwhile as investigators continue to struggle to work out how WikiLeaks got the data, the US State Department last Friday severed the link between its classified cable system and the Department of Defense's SIPRNet classified system, a sophisticated alternative to the internet.
Thanks to earlier WikiLeaks documents, it is known that New Zealand's Defence Forces are linked to SIPRNet which allows even New Zealand frigates and armoured vehicles access to material seen on general's desks in Washington, London and Canberra.
A Rand Corporation study, released earlier this year by WikiLeaks, said in Iraq and Afghanistan coalition forces often did not have access to US intelligence, putting soldiers at "mortal risk".
As a result the US National Security Agency and Defense Department opened SIPRnet "to a small pool of trusted allies, including Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom and New Zealand".
New Zealand Defence Minister Wayne Mapp declined comment on the report.

`India can become major N-equipment manufacturer`
Mumbai: Considering that there would be a
huge demand for power in the country over the years, India
stands a good chance of becoming a leader in the manufacture
of low-cost nuclear power equipment, a noted expert said.
India`s scope to become a critical player in the low-cost
nuclear power equipment market is humongous, former Atomic
Energy Commission chairman Anil Kakodkar said while addressing
the annual session of `Visionary Leaders for Manufacturing
Program` conducted by CII.
"India`s domestic power requirement from nuclear energy
will be in the range of 30,000 to 35,000 MW in the coming
10-15 years. So, the industry provides a great opportunity
for low-cost manufacturers," he said.
India is capable of manufacturing the equipment, which
amounts to 35-40 per cent of the cost of nuclear power
generation, he said.
Once this capability is proven at home, the international
market would become yet another platform for Indian
manufacturers to prove their worth, Kakodkar added.

Most mud masks feel like paper-mâché creations once they dry on our faces. Not so with this super-soft mask from WEI™. It purges all kinds of debris from your skin—from excess oil to environmental pollutants—leaving your pores nearly invisible. We love how the single-use pods come equipped with a handy brush to help you apply the mask evenly. The formula works for all skin types, even the most sensitive.
My skin felt great after using this mask. The texture is really creamy and it felt great putting it on and it was easy to wash off. The only thing is that it really dried the skin around my nose and i was left with dry patches for a week. It did make a difference in my pore size so I am contemplating purchasing it or putting it on my Christmas list, the price is pretty good for this type of product.4
I am super picky about masks, a lot of them irritate my skin more than they help. This was not the case with the WEI mud mask that I sampled in my November box. It felt amazing as it was drying and my skin was so soft after I rinsed it off and it has stayed soft for DAYS! We're talking the softest its ever been. Put off by the $42 price tag but I will be buying it nonetheless when I add up a few more points!5
I'm pretty obsessed with skincare and rarely wear makeup. I also have very sensitive skin and not all exfoliants or masks are for me. This mud mask is one of my favorites. My skin feels and looks so amazing after using one of these little tubs and its effects last for a long time. Buy this, you won't regret it.5

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
Return to Kuwait: The class of 1990
08 Mar 2012 17:34 GMT | Sport, Cricket, Australia, India, Sri Lanka
Australia overcame the absence of injured captain Michael Clarke to win the deciding match in the tri-series finalagainst Sri Lanka by 16 runs on Thursday.The home side looked set to lose to the Sri Lankans for the fifth time in six matches in the tournament - which also included India - after scoring a modest 231 in their innings after being sent in to bat at Adelaide Oval.But man-of-the-match Clint McKay followed his 28 runs from 32 balls with five wickets to help bowl out Sri Lanka's previously potent batting lineup for 215.Fast bowler Brett Lee added three wickets and stand-in skipper and allrounder Shane Watson took the vital late wicket of Upul Tharanga while the Sri Lankan batsman was on 71.
"That's a serious performance to defend 231 on that wicket, so I'm very proud of all the boys"
Shane Watson
Australia won the best-of-three finals series 2-1. Sri Lanka won by eight wickets when chasing a higher total on Tuesday to level the series after Australia won the first match in Brisbane last Sunday by 15 runs."Clint McKay was absolutely brilliant tonight," Watson said. "The skill he showed, throughout the whole series but especially tonight, it was great to see him bowl so well."Watson said his side was determined to deliver a bigger performance after failing to defend 271 in the second match on Tuesday."We knew we had to step up, especially after the last game, we were very disappointed," he said. "That's a serious performance to defend 231 on that wicket, so I'm very proud of all the boys."Sri Lankan captain Mahela Jayawardene felt his side lacked a partnership at the start of their innings after bowling well."Australia deserved it, they played much better cricket than us today,'' he said. "I thought we managed to keep them 20 to 30 runs less, so it was a good total to chase. But we lost three of four wickets very quickly, and it was a tough task for the rest of the boys to try and creep through.''
