***Official*** Australia in Sri Lanka

Haha that was ten thousand times harder a catch than the one he dropped three minutes ago. The way it goes, I guess.

Not been a good few weeks for captains in the slips. Clarke following Strauss's lead.

Clarke's got form against the quicks. I like seeing him in slips to the quicks as much as I do Marcus sodding North.

 

[Jayzamann]

And he swallows that one. Heyoo.

I don't like seeing any of them in the slips, frankly.

Good bowling performance from the Aussies. Doherty isn't doing a great deal wrong so far.

I hope I never have to see Krejza darken the Aussie changing room doorstep in any form again.

Who out of the up and comers is a decent pair of hands in the slips? Can't think of many. I don't think Clarke will ever be that reliable in there. Punter can't play there due to his injury...

Copeland is actually an excellent slipper.

 

[SamSawnoff]

Copeland is actually an excellent slipper.

I'm hoping he gets a shot at the big time for his bowling, but if that's so, he can volunteer to be second slip then next to Watto as I'd rather that than Clarke clanging them regularly.

Just cos someone's skipper doesn't mean they have to be in slip.

 

[Lostman]

To be bowled out in two consecutive games is just pathetic. In home conditions too.

 

[Spikey]

Copeland is actually an excellent slipper.

You'd hope so anyway. Being a keeper for a good part of his life!

 

[Ikki]

Would love to see an attack of Bollinger, Harris, Copeland and Johnson in Tests.

 

[Spark]

Lol Haddin. So loose.

 

[Lostman]

Arnold's commentating is not as annoying as it used to be.
Has improved a bit.

 

[Jayzamann]

Haddin is cutting off his nose to spite his face by getting out to seam bowling before the spinners have a chance to get at him.

 

[Athlai]

Arnold has a bit of promise as a commentator. Could be a bloke who gets to be quite good ala Doully, Ricardo.

 

[Jayzamann]

Has to be an inside edge on that one, right near the shoulder.

 

[Jayzamann]

Poon was going to pierce that off side eventually.

 

[Spark]

Really hope Ponting has got his concentration issues sorted because gee he looks in good nick.

 

[Spark]

!!! How the hell did that happen? All he had to do was talk four metres to his right...

 

[Spikey]

hahahaha wtf
