Well you never know, Beckham called his kid Brooklyn as it was conceived there and one of our rowers named there son after the beach where he was on holiday. Maybe Ponting is following the celebrity trend.**** me dead...that's atrocious!
Maybe he named it after this:

Good hands Copeland.
Want to see him taking a diving screamer though.

Copeland not getting another bowl after his short post-lunch stint the only complaint about a pretty good all-round performance. The less said about the Lankan batting the better. We were good, and the pitch especially early gave a little for the bowlers, but 174 is about half of par.

With his reach it would have to be loooong way away for him to need to dive.

Fair point. Actually, point is probably about where he'd take it if he dived.

Just watching the replay, seems like Australia bowled well but half those dismissals were absolutely awful, especially PJ and Sangakkara.
I liked the look of Harris' ball to get Samaraweera, really seamed in. Suggests there's something in the deck, but I'm willing to bet that Sri Lanka just don't have the pace to exploit what little there is.

Over to the bats now. Bet Marsh is nervous so Sri Lanka could yet get back in it as Australia can easily be 20-2. quite quickly.
Couldn't have gone much better for the Aussies though so far.

TBH Harris was the only one to get any movement after the first hour - Watson and Copeland weren't getting a thing out of the pitch. Lyon got some bounce, which you'd expect.

Copeland got it moving around a bit. I think both Sri Lankan pacers are quicker than him. His height gives him a bit of an advantage too though. And his accuracy.
Edit: I only watched the first hour though. Seems it changed a bit later on.

They need to solidify this opening partnership for 2013, dontchaknow.

The shot Watson played before the boundary was awful. Why chase those?

That was pretty much the first ball to seam for about a hour tbh. Cricinfo pitch report said something in the pitch in the first session, easy to bat from there, and that's how it turned out
