*Official* Match 20 - Sri Lanka v Australia

[blahblahblah]

it will be sad if dickworth comes into play

i want full game on ..

 

[Spark]

Eh? Odd review.

 

[Woodster]

Would be interesting to see Sanga's SR against spin alone. He reminds me a lot of Dravid in his strengths and weaknesses TBH.

Has 29 runs off 41 deliveries against Smith and Krejza. Strike rate just over 70, so not too shabby, obviously boosted by his two latest boundaries.

 

[JBH001]

Going down leg, I thought.

Edit/ And yes, down leg.

The 4 best bowlers in the Oz team are not spinners, so why bother bowling Krezja and Smith for more than 10 overs between them?

 

[blahblahblah]

sanga to get a century here as i said

 

[Nate]

Lolmygoodness, that turned. Unlucky Crayfishers.

A wicket would have been huge if D/L comes into play. No reason not to use the review.

 

[blahblahblah]

Covers coming on

****ing ****ty weather all the time :x

Sorry for my lack of local knowledge of Sri Lankan weather, but how long does a typical shower last for?

What is the drainage like? Those are some massive covers, must be 100 groundstaff on the field right now.

I'm sure that referral was wrong. There was no way that ball was turning past the stumps.

 

[blahblahblah]

so how bad is this rain ?

Pretty big stretch to say that Watson is a better bowler than Krezja on this surface, and I'm a big Watson fan. Ball is turning and spin was looking fairly threatening.

There's also the over rate issue but that takes a back seat in this case since Krezja was definitely the best choice.

generally in this part of lanka, it shouldnt be long

but it falls down heavily nevertheless

Agreed, could have made a 10-20 run difference later on had it been a good one. Worth the risk of a chancy one in a one day game i reckon.

Rain rain go away, come again another day (preferably when India are in trouble ).

Shame on you rain, you probably ruined the match of the tournament. Don't think there is going to be any more play. Heavy rain
