The demotion doesn't really help since Dilshan will pretty much end up facing the new ball again. Or maybe not!

Mahela about 25-30 runs below par, there :P

Trivia question - Watson just took his 50th wicket and has scored over 2000 runs. how many Test Cricketers in total have performed this feat?

and only the rainman wouldn't need to use statsguru lol

5000 and 50 is a more elite club. at that rate though watto might get to 5000 and 100 which is an even smaller club

Very good.

It's a good list overall, there are some pretty mediocre players are on it but then again players like Imran, Sobers, Miller, Pollock, Kallis really do stand out.

George "Atlas" Headley is the key now! And he's looking unshakeable right now.

 

[adub]

Better that than a pull or flick off the hip for 4.

 

[uvelocity]

siddle looking threatening is certainly the exception nowadays. his wicket was a good ball, but most of what he offers up is just a buffet

 

[robelinda]

Sids sids sids!!!!!!!!

 

[uvelocity]

woohoo **** looking dangerous just take wickets out of nowhere!! you beaut!!!

 

[adub]

Game on.

 

[Outswinger@Pace]

Red cherry strikes...That's a top delivery and Headley's gone.

 

[NUFAN]

Huge wicket, so happy for Siddle!!

 

[uvelocity]

2 wickets by around lunch and they will be lucky to get 300

 

[Spark]

Awesome.

 

[adub]

The good thing about that from Siddle was that he had been bringing him forward with the previous balls. That's what gave the shorter effort ball the extra danger. Maybe he's learning.

 

[Johnners]

Moobs!

 

[morgieb]

Yay Jawardene & Sangakarra are gone.

He's more of a mover off the seam, the young lad, isn't he? Doesn't look to have a pronounced natural shape in the air, but rams down on the seam with a high arm action. At least that's what I've seen in these three tests so far.
