Watson's drop still cost us atleast 32.Huss!
Hoping he keeps it up. Love seeing a batsman taking a wicket.clarke is seriously good at bowling changes
kumar was stuck in the 40's for ages
Both. It was obviously the plan given the field set and the choice of bowler, but you still have to be stupidly fortunate to have it come off.Crikey, is Clarke a good or just lucky captain?
It was once said of Richie Benaud he could put his hand in a bucket of **** and pull out a fistful of diamonds.Crikey, is Clarke a good or just lucky captain?
Could be the heat and humidity in Sri Lanka. Might be different elsewhere.Not sure on clarke as others have noted he doesn't bowl copeland for long enough spells.
He's inventive and aggressive, which are all good things. Needs to work on the patience thing but that'll come with time.Not sure on clarke as others have noted he doesn't bowl copeland for long enough spells.
Robbie sends this first: "Mike Hussey? MIKE HUSSEY?!?! You have a team 5/128 and you bring on MIKE HUSSEY? Now I'm all for going against the boring and ordinary, but this is ridiculous.."
And then this: "Mike Hussey just got Sangakkara out. Please disregard previous email. All hail Mr. Cricket."

Yeah. 95% of the time it won't work but you'll never know if you don't try.The thing about Clarke, and Taylor did it too is that when you are always trying something you look like a ****ing genius when it comes off. That's not a criticism as it's great to see a captain being pro-active and trying things out rather than just letting the game get away from you, but it's often more arse than class when it just comes off like that.
Actually if you think it wont work 95% of the time, you would expect it to work once within 20 oversYeah. 95% of the time it won't work but you'll never know if you don't try.
The theory was a good one tbf. Pace off the ball and throw some catching men in front, but you wouldn't expect that to work in 20 overs with Mussey, let alone 1.
