Group F (Super 8) - Sri Lanka, Australia, India, West Indies

Jayawardene gone! Huge loss for Sri Lanka.

Ha, I blame CW for this. Saw a bloke in an Essendon top in the crowd and immediately thought "It's a bloke in an Essendon guernsey". Few years back it'd just have been some crim in a randon Aussie Rules shirt.

Ooops, Mehela goes miscuing a pull. Huge.

 

[King Pietersen]

Excellent bowling from Nannes. Sticking with the bouncer after getting despatched for 6. That is the key wicket. Backing Australia here.

Any pace/bounce in the wicket and Mahela is just average I'm afraid

 

[King Pietersen]

That was a quick delivery from Tait. Jayawardene and Sangakkara both out, this is going brilliantly for Australia now!

 

[BoyBrumby]

Sanga goes to the short ball too.

All over red rover.

 

[Pothas]

That is a load of poo.

Anyway would be surprised but happy if Sri Lanka got these, Australia very strong though, tipped them for the tournamnet at the start and certainly not going to change my mind now.

Tait is the quickest bowler I've seen and that includes the Thomsons, Holdings, Akhtars and Lees

Ugly as hell but lightning for a few overs

 

[BoyBrumby]

He's up there, no doubt. Reckon Ahktar might just pip him flat out tho.

& that's a top nut from Nannes, just beaten Jayasuriya for pace. Plumb as you like.

Nope.

Most people know Sanga is SL's best player irrespective of the surface and that bounce/pace kills Mahela

 

[Furball]

Painful to watch Jayasuriya.

Clearly doesn't have the eyes any more.

 

[King Pietersen]

Dirk Nannes is an absolute beast. What a bowler. Jayawardene, Sangakkara and Jayasuriya all back in the shed, this is going fantastically for Australia; and Clarke's still got Mitchell Johnson to turn to.

I got on the Nannes bandwagon early doors.

 

[Furball]

What a catch from White!

 

[BoyBrumby]

That's some grab from White. Dilshan back in the hutch.

 

[King Pietersen]

Good effort. Can't say I was ever massively impressed by Nannes in the games I saw him play for Middlesex. He was quick, but never looked particularly penetrative. Guess I was wrong

Cameron White WAG. Stunning catch. Dilshan gone, game over.

Shame he didnt play a full season of grade cricket until he was 23!

Saxaphone player and skier apparently

Wonder how that went down with Warnie?

Gee, White's got great hands

 

[BoyBrumby]

Mathews holes out. 49/5; SL collapsing in a heap.

 

[social]

For the time being, it looks like the policy of playing 3 very quick bowlers is working

Still worried about Oz ability on really slow tracks

 

[BoyBrumby]

Jeez, that's a good effort from Warner (I think?). Looked a four for all money. Top commitment on the boundary.

EDIT: Nup, Christian on as the sub. Top stop, anyway.
