***Official*** Australia in Sri Lanka

[SamSawnoff]

I'm fuming about the shot from Punter. WTF is he doing?

 

[Nate]

When was the last time Australia used five bowlers who all had an economy of under 3?

Line and length is back, baby!

Some things you just have to sit back and laugh at.

 

[Bun]

That's despicable from Punter. Why he NEVER learns, he's not 30 anymore

 

[Spikey]

I assume the only feeling in cricket worse than having the batsman at the other end say "don't review that" after you suggest to do just that, is walking over to the leg slip/gully etc area to pick up your bat to walk off the field.

 

[Howe_zat]

What a match.

 

[Spikey]

also that's how we should have countered bodyline

 

[Spark]

The last time I saw someone lose their bat whilst playing a shot was in like U13s.

 

[Ruckus]

Was that just plain bad luck for Ponting, or was the shot just badly timed?

 

[Sylvester]

Hughes built a name for himself on difficult wickets and he's looking good atm.

 

[centurymaker]

What the **** has been happening

where's the discipline of the batsmen??

 

[Spark]

Think clips to midwicket off anything not going down leg should be put in the locker too, based on that.

Mitchell Marsh threw his bat half way across the WACA trying to slog Stuart Clark out of the ground.

Idiocy...Simpsons - YouTube

Nah he mistimed the release of the bat. Was a little early.

Scoop shot still an option?

 

[Jayzamann]

Odd feeling that the other grounds will be easier to bat on after this :P

 

[OMM!]

Sri Lanka are crazy producing raging bunsens when their spinners are so mediocre and aside from Mahela and Sanga, their batsmen are so mediocre too.

This scoreline puts our Ashes demolition into context. It was an utterly superhuman effort!

 

[SamSawnoff]

I feel like I'm watching tail-enders and just hoping for a few more runs before they get out.

 

[Jayzamann]

Take the runs, lament the shot.
