***Official*** Australia in Sri Lanka

[Jono]

Harris second to Steyn in the world. There I said it.

Ohhhh Jimmy Jimmy

Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Anderson

 

[Howe_zat]

No way. Has to do it for more than a few tests, lest he be the faster, Australian Zaheer.

Anderson has been as good, or better, for longer (even though he has no chest).

Tempted to sig this.

Tempted to sig this.

Look, if Harris bowls like ths for another four or five tests in a row, then I'll happily rank him ahead of monobrow Glanderson.

 

[Prince EWS]

Johnson is seriously the perfect bowler to get Thilan out. I've said it before. Good example there.

Good over that.

Yeah was kind of joking, but I disagree that Anderson has been better. Obviously Harris has to string together a lot more matches at this level to be a contender, but in the little he has played I think he has been better than Anderson. Don't think Anderson would be doing this well on these kind of pitches either.

See that cloud cover.......?

 

[Ruckus]

See that cloud cover.......?

Cloud cover doesn't guarantee swing at all. There has hardly been any on offer so far, even for someone like Watson who can usually generate a fair bit.

 

[Burgey]

Jeez, looking at that graphic, no wonder the batsman played and missed, with a red sightscreen

 

[Burgey]

Watto!!

Huuuuuugggeeeeee wicket

 

[Spark]

Wow, that's a gift. Samaraweera should be filthy at that.

 

[Valer]

Hmm, might be some life in this after all if it doesn't rain.

 

[DriveClub]

Cricinfo announces harris injured already(hamstring). Way too predictable this

 

[Howe_zat]

Aaaaand they're boned.

Lankan tail is godawful to say the least. Mathews has got to go for it.

 

[nsniks]

From cricinfo : This is not good news for Australia. Dan Brettig informs us that Harris is being assessed for a stiff right hamstring

Goddamn that is dire news.

 

[Spark]

That's an amazing field.

This is also a pretty bizarre field.

 

[Burgey]

Poor Rhino.

Here's hoping it isn't serious, though even if it's a twinge, the next test is friday and I couldn't see them risking him

 

[Spikey]

BIG HEART SIDDLE TO THE RESCUE z

 

[Burgey]

Light looks ordinary. Can see this ending sooner rather than later.
