This looks a road vs. pace...

Nothing off the straight and a nice gentle pace off the pitch too.

 

[Daemon]

Thranga being in the lineup deprives Mahela of an opening slot. Disappointing.

Similar wafts outside off stump on the first ball from both batsmen.

Outfield is lightning quick and it looks a terror to dive on

 

[Spark]

Uh oh.

This might get ugly fast...

EDIT: That's not what I meant by ugly. Ouch.

EDIT2: OK that's just silly.

 

[Spikey]

yeah when blocks are going for 4 it's probably time to panic

 

[shivfan]

When Russel Arnold started out as a commie, I thought he was rubbish, but he's improved a lot, to the point where I look forward to hearing what he has to say on issues....

 

[Spikey]

no not Ashocker!

 

[Uppercut]

Tharanga looks in lethal touch.

 

[Himannv]

So strange to see Tharanga outscore Dilshan like this.

 

[Daemon]

Making up for the missed tour of England

 

[TT Boy]

Tharanga is a beast at home. Averages over 40 here and in 2011 over 90 with 3 hundreds.

 

[Burgey]

Haha. How fast is this outfield? Just a push for four.

 

[Uppercut]

Looks like his bat's made of trampoline.

 

[Burgey]

Watto dishing up some filth early on here.

 

[Burgey]

Well bowled Doherty.

 

[Spark]

Mitchell Johnson - 6th bowler? Haha.

 

[Spikey]

Playing as a batsman imo.


better than marsh i guess

 

[Spark]

Awesome. Clarke's bowling plans can be brilliant sometimes.

 

[Spikey]

that sorta came out of nowhere.

like to doherty yeah i understand it but off dussey?

 

[pup11]

C'mon Pup what are you doing..!? Smith should be bowling instead of Dussey, Duss is far more effective in the middle overs.

EDIT: Haha... knew something like that would happen...
