*Official* Sri Lanka in Australia 2010

My. God. That's the sort of **** that gets players dropped for years (especially considering the situation).

 

[Jono]

Hahahaha, he missed that by a mile

 

[Prince EWS]

Sri Lanka will regret leaving Samaraweera out; they won't be chasing much so he'd be very useful.

Indeed. Silva bats like such a ****ing moron sometimes. Perera probably should've been held back too; was never going to last long defending.

Doherty

Doherty's action seems a bit like a mirror image of Swann. Love the way they impart a lot of momentum into their action. That seems to be the "in" thing in offspin bowling these days, unlike the paradigm of pausing at the top of your action (a la Randiv).

Terrific spell this is.

Kandamby should have got a game ahead of Silva. Now all up to Mathews I guess.

 

[Ruckus]

Why does Doherty have such a bad FC average? He looks not only very dangerous, but also consistent.

Jack Mac, you think Doherty's style is suited to the WC in India any more or less than Hauritz's?

Doherty is the new Deepak Chahar.

Anyone notice Johnson get his outswinger going for the left hander - Definitely good news.

 

[Jono]

You watch, SL will get around 170 or so with a few late partnerships, which will put the middle order to shame.

SL are just doing what Australia did in the T20. Australia were awful in the T20 and batted like dicks, and so SL have returned the favour.

It's not just bad, either. It's a special type of dire considering how many games he's played.

Malinga!

 

[Ruckus]

I think it's not inappropriate to say now that Doherty is the greatest cricketer of all time.

 

[Burgey]

Bowls at Bellerive a lot I guess, but I suspect je might bowl a tad flat as a rule. Then again I haven't seen any of him in FC cricket.

Doherty WAG

How awesome was that little flick onto the stumps from Smith? Casual one hand catch of a bullet throw onto the stumps.

He made a post earlier in this thread suggesting that he'd be more suited to bowling in the subcontinent as he gets more overspin.

 

[Jono]

Mathews! Gun.

I love that SL took the powerplay. So unconventional, yet so intelligent.

Was that an outswinger? I wasn't really paying attention but I thought it was just a straight ball that beat him for pace...
