    Nice self-protective work from Kallis there, ensuring that the in-form Sangakkara heads back to the pavilion.

    So long as not using either of them whatever happened doesn't include White again. :)

    To Katich? Ah, fair enough then.

    Hooray! Gayle gone, chasing a wide one from Watson.

    Maybe time for a slow bowler, Ricky... Give White a go. Come to think of it, couldn't he have subbed for Martyn, rather than Katich?

    Super Series

    Bloody hell, I'm in 101st spot - I genuinely thought I'd have done better than that. But I didn't have Watson or Sangakkara. Still, there's a lot of guys on equal scores though, and this was always going to be tight. Only 35 points between where I'm at and top spot. I'm hoping to see Cameron...

    Another point on the Telstra Dome, after reading Sambit Bal's column at cricinfo - aside from what are completely legitimate criticisms about the surface, I think there's been some overdoing of it in terms of general criticism of the ground. Had there been an 18,000 attendance at the MCG, I...

    They probably did expect him to score runs.

    That outfield really was horrific. Poor show. Hopefully we'll get a much better attendance for the remaining games, 'cause Telstra Dome has a great atmosphere with a decent crowd in. Maybe people were of the opinion it'd be a walkover after our Ashes effort, although you'd have thought that...

    Hmmm... Watson player of the match? Can't say I fully understand that call. Vettori might feel a bit aggrieved.

    Well, Watson bowled a lot of loose stuff early, but all in all, it's not a bad performance with the ball (and in the field). Excellent win to Australia. This game's been fairly decent for my fantasy cricket team too, all things considered. :p

    Yeah, I'm hoping to see him in action too - by the looks of things, it'll need to be pretty soon though, unless Pollock can mount a similar (or better) rescue effort with Flintoff to what he did with Dravid against Victoria. I think Australia's start was a bit misleading (this can often be the...

    Hahaha - well, this match might provide a few red faces. :) Go Aussies!

    I missed some of the Australian innings - but apart from run-out decisions, all I've seen so far was a referral to the third umpire for a possible nick (I think it was either Gilchrist or Katich, chasing a hook) through to the keeper.

    *sigh* Let's hope that's not too costly. Particularly atypical for Lee.

    ***Official*** Super Series

    Pietersen gone - another brave call from Taufel, who seems pretty determined not to call for assistance - replays suggest it was going over the top. Good delivery that nipped in from Watson. World XI in some serious trouble - some good batting still to come, but the Aussies are well in command...

    ***Official*** Super Series

    I pretty much agree with your assessment, although I'll be happy to be proven wrong. But Australia will have bucketloads of patience with him, because they are obsessed with finding a Flintoff, in spite of the fact that were happily the top team for a decade or so without one.

    You're right, they should have. And I'm sure part of the point of the trial would be to give the concept a fair workout. Having said that, I felt quite confident at the time he was struck, and after watching the replays, I still think it was out.

    Give the guy some credit. He bowled a consistent line, kept it tight, and he had Sangakkara playing awkwardly in the air in that region twice - as well as the one that went straight up that Katich should have taken.
