*Official* Sri Lanka in Australia 2010

[Spark]

Nah he'd have scooped it to point

 

[Jono]

You could have hit it for four.


...

It's on again one of these days. Screw this pub ****. Gotta be a net session once again.

 

[Ruckus]

Dissapointed with the SCG wicket. Hoping it was gonna offer a bit more to the bowlers.

 

[Spark]

Looks a road, tbh. Not all that much bounce either.

 

[honestbharani]

At least Johnson doesn't have to open the bowling today. To be fair though his best spell in the first ODI was his first one!

yeah.. reeks of defensiveness that. Never giving him the new ball. He is still the most likely to be a matchwinner among your bowlers.. Take the punt and give him the damn new ball...

 

[Jono]

So what do Australia need?

Yeah it was much better last summer, had a nice bit of green on it. Hopefully they will change it come the Ashes.

Hmm, he's long been bowling first change for Australia in ODIs though.

Remember early days he used to routinely swing the white ball, but never the red.

Marcus North?

 

[Burgey]

So what do Australia need?

A wicket, dumb arse.

To be fair, when there's been rain about, curators tend to play it safe with the wickets and keep it dry, flat and with little amount of grass. It gives them more margin for error if the rain hangs around for too long, where the covers can cause the pitch to sweat.

He bowls a lot better with the older ball though.

Meant SL you smartarses.

Oh ok, didn't know that.

History would suggest 250 means a win most every time at Sydney. Then again, as I'm typing this they're going off, so Duckworth-Lewis will calculate this out to about 760.

 

[Ruckus]

Booo, stupid rain. Sydney has become the new Melbourne.

 

[Bobisback]

"If play is stopped now, which it wont be"

Pretty sure I just heard that from everyone's favourite commentator.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Oh ok, didn't know that.

It's funny, you'll often see in grade cricket on hot days that there are sides rolled for not very much, where curators have done the opposite and pumped moisture into the pitch when it's boiling.

 

[Jono]

NSW Labor Government should pay for a roof to the SCG in a last ditch effort to win the election

 

[morgieb]

What kind of attack lets Upul Tharanga score runs?
