[hendrix]

this is so good. through about 8 guinness, had some 18yo bartender chick into me which i feel gross about but which is flattering all the same, am listening to some Herbie Hancock (just post Miles) and watching Herath bowl.

 

[Maximas]

Bhatti to come down the pitch and complete Hendrix's evening...

 

[Flem274*]

Sri Lankan seamers are taking wickets? What the **** is this?

 

[Maximas]

for Maximas, since he's a music student, and also since he posted that ***y piece of cricket.

(Melody = harmony is the whole point of this brilliant composition. That's the reference. Actually, the whole album is awesome. Check it,)

Ahhh, this thread is so much better when it's not just me posting, cheers

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Love when there's a genuine edge and the commentators act as though it was an obvious scoring shot

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Ajmal's technique looks so ordinary after Herath's been on earlier

 

[hendrix]

Junaid needs to stop over-doing the variations.

 

[Maximas]

ohh, a bit unlucky to be given with the impact, but a very well deserved wicket, decent start though

 

[hendrix]

Junaid needs to stop over-doing the variations.

I am so good.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

That was a fine over from Junaid last one up

 

[Prince EWS]

You can tell how good each upcoming Rahat delivery will be just by looking at what he does with his front arm just before he releases it. Sort it out, bowling coach.

 

[Maximas]

bad light, ok.

Dominant day for Sri Lanka, really pleasing to see not only discipline from the fast bowlers, but genuine incisiveness and penetration, Pradeep in particular looked very dangerous while Lakmal and Eranga stuck to their lines and were rewarded for bowling tight lines and extracting some swing and seam movement away from the right handers. The dismissal of Misbah by Eranga was excellent, bowled him some bouncers then a perfect away swinger on a length to get the outside edge, good to see him bowling to plans, something the young SL quicks have never really done in their short careers. I would've been surprised if Karunaratne got through the night but he looked pretty good, although his issues outside off stump persist, at least he didn't allow the bowlers to dominate. Sri Lanka are set up to build a big lead over the next few days if they can bat well, but they must avoid the ineptness that Pakistan displayed, pressure must be put on the bowlers. Overall I'm very pleased.
