***Official*** Australia in Sri Lanka

Yeah I'd move Usman to three. Maybe that's what they'll do, actually, now I recall Sydney.

Almost certain they will. Clarke has had problems moving up to #4, so I doubt he'll feel too comfy at #3.

Copeland's biggest problem is people don't take him for what he is - an extremely accurate, tall medium pacer who bowls one bad ball a week.

People think he is the new Mcgrath.

consistently ****, ****

Righto, which one of you ****s am I taking down first?

 

[Son Of Coco]

Except the bouncer reasoning, others are not.

1. Haddin has stood up to Watson before. His pace is not that difficult.

3. That's a stupid reason. How would you know? Some might and some not. Better than getting rid of outside edge dismissal completely.

4. Watson can bowl stump to stump when the keeper is up.

Except that:

a) You'd be insane to stand up to a guy bowling up to 140kph on a wicket that has been inconsistent.

 

[Son Of Coco]

fmd, it's because it's a new ball.

srsly, you can't be that challenged, surely?

Tum Tum posting in here today has reminded me of his earlier efforts. Had forgotten about his take on the game.

 

[Johnners]

Really hope Clarke stays at 4 and Usman goes to 3. Is Ponting expected to be back for the 3rd test?

wtf ****. Name change?

 

[Son Of Coco]

Usman to three I reckon

also it's disappointing our cricketers are still not planning their *** lives around our test fixtures

Exactly, Ricky should take a leaf out of his batting manual and pull more.

If she's due now, the kid was conceived during the Ashes. Perhaps he was expecting the drubbing and to be dropped?

Dropping Hauritz for Doherty caused him to celebrate imo

ps who is the **** above him?

 

[benchmark00]

Zip it.

Good stuff Australia.

Think we'll win the series now - the next 2 matches will be roads IMO.

 

[Bun]

Played Australia.

A resurgent Aus is always better for the well being of cricket always.

Nah he missed the Sydney Test remember, I just think Punter wanted to start the year off with a bang.

 

[BlazeDragon]

It would be interesting to see how the Aussies go about their seaming options after this series. Johnson and Harris seems to pretty much have a locked spot and Copeland looking very promising as well. Bollinger also looked very well in the ODIs.

Seaming department seems like the only place Aussies seem to have the complete package atm.

 

[Cevno]

Warner called up as Standby to Ponting. Interesting....

 

[Howe_zat]

David Warner called up.
