***Official*** Australia in Sri Lanka

[Spikey]

and I def. wouldn't be bowling Hussey. Clarke's done a lot of good things so far but I'm not liking his handling of Smith

 

[Ruckus]

Actually wanting to see Sri Lanka get a big total here, will be interesting to see how our batsman can cope with spin under pressure.

There you go, Spikeh

 

[Spikey]

[Spark]

Lightning doesn't strike twice, Dussey.

I'm only on cricinfo, so can anyone explain why after 27 overs there's already been 10 overs of spinners, considering they've gone for 70 runs?

Nope

Get them out of the way I guess? Who knows.

EDIT: At least the pitch looks flat now.

EDIT2: Actually that might be it - all pace from now on.

This is much more like the Sri Lanka I remember in their own backyard. Although they'd usually be chasing at this run rate and be done in about 35 overs.

 

[SamSawnoff]

Looks like Johnson is searching for swing. Not much there though.

 

[Lostman]

How Tharanga manages to score any amount of runs is a one of crickets greatest mysteries.
Even close to 100, he consistently misses the ball, and on top of that he has a very limited range of shots with almost no leg side play.

 

[Spark]

This has to be one of the most stupidly charmed knocks I've seen.

every innings of his >20 is like this.

 

[Spikey]

it's actually better for us to keep him in. just work on kumar and co

Or not... Doherty back...

Tharanga needs to score much quicker than he is considering he's the set batsman. Either that or just go after everything until he gets out.
