Smith is the most common English name to play cricket (England players), or at least was the last time I heard about this trivia which is around 10 years back. Haven't seen Aussie Smiths.
It's far and away the most common surname in Australia too - there are more Smiths than the next 2 most common surnames combined

I didn't realise Wayamba was Mendis's team. Could be a bit of a nightmare for Delhi this with their middle order now exposed to him.

Yeah, Sehwag has batted very well.
Pitch is really pathetic... so many bowls just keeping low.

Is that really a bad thing? I quite like seeing a pitch providing more assistance to the bowlers for a change, instead of these dead batting tracks often used for these 20/20 games....

Yeah, but this pitch is so slow that it's not really hard to stay in on - just hard to score runs on. Assistance for the bowlers is good when it comes in the form of bounce, seam or turn as it still requires skill to exploit all that, but a slow and uneven pitch just works against batsmen rather than for bowlers, if you get what I mean.
