***Official*** Sri Lanka in Australia

[Nate]

Very tough drop. Murali flighting it very nicely.

 

[Athlai]

Compelling stuff.

 

[Athlai]

Good stop by Murali.

 

[Johnners]

Ponting...in such good touch

 

[Perm]

Ricky Ponting looking in top form. It'll take a good piece of bowling to get him out. Would put $10 on a century for him if I was old enough.

Murali's looking in great touch too should be a cracker of a contest, Fernando's the only real weak link so far.

 

[Pratters]

Hmm... debating as to whether to watch this or Pakistan vs India. I could do both, but my eyes would never forgive me.

That's a day night game. So you can watch both if you want.

Ponting generally owns him though. Probably plays him better than almost anyone else.

So, Murali gets Ponting in 5, 4, 3, 2 ....

Fleming plays him okay.

For every good hit Pontings had today he's completely misread another ball.

This outfield better not speed up by the time Australia go out to bowl, if it does I'll be livid.

Considering I've already been up 17 hours, thats seems very unlikely to happen. My eyes also strain very easily from extensive TV watching.

Have decided to watch this match. Yeah, have turned in my Pakistan passport, tbh.

Test cricket > nationalism.

I'd watch Pakistan play a test over Australia playing an ODI so you're not alone.

 

[shortpitched713]

and the donkeys that were braying for Maharoof's inclusion must be happy..

And the donkeys that would bray for Fernando's inclusion should be let off?

In fact, Mahroof's been the far better of the two bowlers. Needs to work on some variations, and he could really be very useful at Test level.

I would match this match over the India-Pakistan one dayer too if they were on at the same time.

I agree. What an awful batsman. Should be dropped from the side TBH.

Yeah, figure most on CW would do he same. Normally rate them about the same, really depends on my mood but there hasn't been very much Test cricket lately.

Should declare his innings out of shame, for mine.

Ugh.
