Dont think they "need" to - just better off bowling him at full bore in 4 spells rather than 2The need to rest Tait after his two-over spell just eases some of the pressure on SL, surely he can manage a couple more overs in his opening spell without it taking too much out of him.
Except when they do.Sanga and Kallis are the best players in the world IMO
Sachin's great but those guys dont look like getting out
No, far from it, but a very well judged catch.Catch of the tournament so far?
Our offside ring field is probably the best in the world tbh though. It's just stupidly strong even without Symonds.Lee's got lucky there, short and wide should have flashed to the boundary but Tharanga failed to get on top it and Smith took an excellent catch. Timed his jump perfectly, and has looked very sharp in the field today, as have Australia on the whole. Trust me after watching England in the field in this tournament, these Australians look very sharp in comparison.
Well could say it evens out, Lee bowls a good one that would have gone straight to 2nd slip.Lee's got lucky there, short and wide should have flashed to the boundary but Tharanga failed to get on top it and Smith took an excellent catch.

If they don't need to, it's a strange decision to take him out of the attack with SL on the back foot, the ball coming out beautifully for him, the SL captain (and best batsman) just finding his way, give him a couple more to try and make real inroads into SL's line-up.Dont think they "need" to - just better off bowling him at full bore in 4 spells rather than 2
Tharanga gone, Tait back on?
Haven't watched alot of the games, but what beats this? Please don't say munafs catchNo, far from it, but a very well judged catch.
Should demand a second slip though tbf.Well could say it evens out, Lee bowls a good one that would have gone straight to 2nd slip.
