*Official* Match 20 - Sri Lanka v Australia

[Debris]

Well could say it evens out, Lee bowls a good one that would have gone straight to 2nd slip.

Think it was a bit wide of second slip, maybe 2 1/2

Mahela is not in good form, struggling against pace. Tait should be in attack.

 

[Woodster]

Our offside ring field is probably the best in the world tbh though. It's just stupidly strong even without Symonds.

Yes with SA losing the outstanding De Villiers to the keeping role, probably wouldn't disagree. Now Symonds was an outstanding fielder. There's not many fielders that you'd actually pay to watch and look forward to doing so, but he was probably one of them that you would.

 

[Spark]

Haha, oh dear. Missed by half a pitch length on that one.

 

[Woodster]

Haven't watched alot of the games, but what beats this? Please don't say munafs catch

Believe me I wouldn't say Munaf's catch! Give me a minute to have as think on that, good question. Seem to remember someone taking an excellent diving effort to remove Ian Bell, Paul Stirling I think it was, that was a good one.

 

[Burgey]

Tait back for two here now I reckon.

Nah I think Smith has him covered there.

Seren Waters took a good one to remove Hafeez, if memory serves me right.

Speedo meter not accurate, Watson bowling @ 138-140, Johnson 148-150

Afridi was bowling his faster 1s @ 130, Akhtar hit 159km/hr in last match. Maybe SriLankan board intentionally doing this.

The speedos have been dodgy all WC and the Watson figures are a bit dodge for sure but Mitch is a 150 bowler.

 

[Woodster]

Beautiful straight drive from Sanga, looking sooo good here.

 

[JBH001]

Lovely straight drive.

That is about right, Watson can get a max of around 140 and I remember Afridi getting 130 odd in Australia.

 

[Woodster]

Good move from Ponting to get Tait back into the attack before these two get well set.

 

[Noble One]

It is becoming very rare for Watson to bowl any faster than mid 130's. His bowling style has changed quite noticeably in the past two years.

Little coincidence that the injuries have cut-down since he stopped trying to bowl 140+.

 

[Spark]

Jayawardene is starting to look very good too.

 

[JBH001]

Nice little off-drive from Mahela.

 

[BeeGee]

Sangakkara looks in very good touch. A big score coming up here, I feel.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

These two make it look so easy.

 

[Woodster]

Textbook extra cover drive from Mahela, is he starting to find a bit of nick.
