Might as well have opened with Mendis. Australia have been given a pretty handy head-start here.

True... but its definitely easier said that done, a lot of quality batsmen have struggled against him initially so can't expect it to be any different for our lads.

Haddin played Mendis like an absolute moron, basically had no idea. Watson looking very solid despite the droped catch.

I'm really looking forward to watching Ponting bat but I would of liked him to face a few overs of pace first.

Yeah with Mendis just watch out and play for the incoming ball even if it means getting beaten by the away going delivery, atleast its better than losing your wicket.

Watto's ODI average has been looking nicer and nicer these past few seasons. Seeing that 185* up on cricinfo is jizzworthy as well.

Watto knows he isn't a great player of spin neither does he try to look like one, he has found his own method that might not be recommended by any coaches but its still highly productive, his team-mates too could learn a thing or two from him in that regard rather than trying to flaunt a batting technique that has many holes in it.

Oh I have no problems with it. It's just hilarious to watch.
