now 17. rob to confirm how many of those 16 caught have been in the point/gully region.

Interesting fact.

Watson has faced two balls of spin this series.

He got out to both of them.

(unless he faced spin in the 2nd Test, don't remember)

 

[Burgey]

Hughes' footwork looking a lot better by his standards. Actually, I think it has been better all series.

This will be a nice test, although the wicket is flat and the bowling hardly ferocious. They seem to be trying to tuck him up.

Want to see if that first back foot movement is still to leg.

 

[Spark]

...

Run outs not necessary, yeah?

Is there a way to see what the percentages are for all players?

 

[Burgey]

Do like Herath as a bowler.

Yep it has been good this series, his technique looks a lot better than it did when he got found out. Has copped some jafers this series and the technique wasn't quite right in the first dig but in general he has looked a lot better.

I was wondering whether it was just me who had that impression. He's by no means what you'd call text book, but it is encouraging to see he's been working hard at it. It'snot easyy to rebuuild a technique at FC or test level.

 

[Burgey]

Tell you what, that 18+ deodorant they're flogging in SL must be good stuff.

Apparently they advertise it a lot over there

 

[Burgey]

Hughes is definitely covering his off stump with his back foot much more than last summer.

 

[morgieb]

Good to see the Prince score some runs.

 

[Sylvester]

Marsh certainly looks dodgy against spin.

 

[NasserFan207]

Hmm, pitch has loostened up a bit.

 

[Sylvester]

Hughes run machine back on track in Test cricket.

 

[adub]

Good work Hughes. Now head down and double up.

Nice 50 for Hughes. Like to see him go on.
