MacGill bowling tripe again.

 

[Mister Wright]

Good ball from MacGill, even better shot from Sangakkara though.

 

[Perm]

Lee and Clark have been really good this morning, that catch that Sangakarra offered Hussey earlier on didn't carry, and I was seriously disappointed to hear Ponting having a big whinge.

 

[silentstriker]

God save us from Smith's whinging, Dhoni's technique and this Aussie juggernaut.

 

[burr]

Sangakkara has had a bit of luck, that's for sure, but I don't mind. These two currently at the crease are just fabulous to watch. Hope they have a big partnership. And Sanga. is just so damn hot

Gilchrist's wicket-keeping is as expected – fallible. Hussey’s reaction to that catch/non-catch was fabulous, really admired him in that moment. Lee’s spell was absolutely superb. Great morning’s cricket.

Haha, Mitchell Johnson and Michael Hussey are pretty good looking in the Aussie side IMO.

Would have loved to have seen Sangakkara v Warne...

Yeh, MacGill vs Sanga is a no contest, isn't it? I get the feeeling Sanga would have given Warnie a touch-up, though. He looks great this morning and the deck would appear to be a road. Even Jayawardene just hit a great shot.

Did every see Jayawardene give Sanga the stink-eye after that near miss run-out? Awesome. If looks could kill.....

Hard fought 50 up for Sangakkara

As much as I love MacGill, and think he's a great bowler, he's not in his best form at the moment.

Sangakkara does look to have the game to have tackled Warne successfully.

He brings up his half ton. Wonder how costly the Gilly drop will be?

 

[Top_Cat]

Oh bugger! Out just when he was starting to really hit the ball well! I'm disappointed!

 

[Mister Wright]

Sangakkara's confidence gets him out. Pretty slack effort from a player of his class, given the chance he was given early. Far too close to cut.

Good bowling from Johnson.

 

[Athlai]

KC Sangakkara c Hussey b Johnson 57

Hot and heavy combo for some eh?

 

[Mister Wright]

I'd like to see the side on replay again. Looked very close to a no ball for Johnson.

 

[Fiery]

Big wicket. How's Jayasuriya going to play this knock?

 

[Craig]

Sangakkara showing that IQ is not his strong point then. Sri Lanka so needed to go to lunch with only two wickets down.

Good bowling from Johnson.

Was it good bowling or a slack shot? Make up your mind!

It was only too close because of the ball coming back in, I reckon. Most players would have seen where it pitched and gone for it. It's just that the quality of the ball caused the miss-hit. That and a bit of a rush of blood to the head I think. Been a while since Sanga played a Test, isn't it?

Don't know if it is IQ. I know exactly how he did it. It happened to me in my last innings. I was hitting everything out the middle and felt like I couldn't do wrong. I wasn't concentrating, and pretty much thought I could do anything. Pretty similar shot, saw one wide and hit it stright to 3rd slip.

Not that I'm comparing myself to Sangakkara as he is a much better batsman than I am, but dismissal very similar.

He comes across as extremely intelligent in interviews tbf

 

[pasag]

Meh, leave for a few minutes and miss Sangas dismissal

Get the feeling KP vs MacGill would have been a rout as well.
