Jesus Christ...Ian Healy please just shut the **** up...please oh god...please...

Mathews! Gun.

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

Really? I thought they had no choice with 8-down or they'd never get to use it at all. Doesn't strike me as the most original idea.

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

Saw that a bit, but he won't do it in tests.. Bowling very fast though, doesnt look under done for once at season start. A plus for us for sure.

Johnson in ODIs, so over-rated these days. Give me Tait, Bollinger and Harris thanks.

 

[Spark]

Johnson's never really impressed me in ODIs tbh...

Haven't seen him bowl any outswingers - including inswinger to a righty- since SA. No idea if he can replicate it again though

Yorkers would be nice about now.

Hit the bloody stumps!

I'm getting a bit tired of Johnson in all forms tbh. His inconsistancy is beginning to overshadow his occasional moments of brilliance.

This is priceless.

Has a good average. Too much of a liability though to get ****ing belted though especially if Australia are on the back foot. A poor man's Tait.

Nah he's still definitely worth it in Tests.

Seen Tait get belted a few times too tbh.

Eww, Malinga just wiped his nose and looked at whatever came off onto his glove.

I have no idea what Siddle is trying to do here...

EDIT: It wouldn't be raining down there would it?

 

[Prince EWS]

Yeah, Tait's similar obviously, just a lot better at the whole taking wickets thing, plus he's a good death bowler. Hence Johnson being "poor man's Tait" rather than "Tait except he gets smashed"...

Most teams just wither away trying to push singles and getting run out or caught. Don't bother trying to counter attack at 8 down.

Look at all collapses that occur before the 30th over (like happened here) in ODI cricket. Never is a batting powerplay taken.

 

[Debris]

What odds can I get on a SL win?

 

[Jono]

SL paying $25 now

STOP BOWLING BLOODY BOUNCERS DURING THE POWERPLAY

[Top_Cat]

Good God some bone-headed bowing going on right now.

 

[Burgey]

Should say.. Steve Smith... Seriously special fielder. That run out he finished.. Made it look regulation but that was in no way easy. Bloke has amazingly good hands.
