*Official* Sri Lanka in Australia 2010

This is a pretty lively wicket. Would love to see this for the first test.

Yeah Richie hit the nail on the head with that one.

What's going on out there? Three rank shots. Aussies look fired up but geez a few gifts today.

I think they finally figured out if you put it in the batter's half, you draw shots off the front-foot and are more likely to get good players out.

McKay WAG!

About time they got rid of Siddle and Hauritz

How the **** did that first one miss off-stump?

 

[Spark]

Haha fair point.

How the **** did that first one miss off-stump?

That was an alarming delivery

 

[Ruckus]

They seriously should play 4 quicks at the Gabba...

I wonder if England would send us in on a wicket like this?

 

[Prince EWS]

I know McKay's not well-rated here but he's been pretty good for Australia in ODIs. I'd definitely sooner have him than Siddle, Hilfenhaus or Starc in one day cricket. I'd put him about on par with Johnson in my ODI pecking order behind Bollinger, Tait and Harris.

Hope you're not suggesting that on the basis of Tharanga struggling with bounce because, well.........

Not much movement, just useful bounce more than anything. A decent spinner would be able to use it well so yeah, we should play 4 quicks.

Wait. What was I saying again?

If only we had one.

No, there is good seam movement as well, and a bit of swing, plus no good spin bowler=4 quicks.

 

[Top_Cat]

No sense of humour you guys.

 

[Jayzamann]

No Hauritz in lieu of Doherty, itstl

 

[pup11]

Mckay is a 1st or 2nd change bowler at best, but one thing you gotta give him is, that he could make most of any help from the conditions.

 

[Ruckus]

No sense of humour you guys.

Sorry I was born without that sense.

 

[Ruckus]

Tony Greig sounds depressed haha

 

[Son Of Coco]

Starc's started alright.

 

[pup11]

Starc using the seam to good effect here, showing good skill, which is nice to see from a young Oz bowler.

 

[Lostman]

I swear Tharanga is the luckiest/crappiest batsmen ever.
Never seen a "top order" batsmen miss the ball as many times as he does.

 

[Jayzamann]

He does appeal like a little girl, does Shane.
