Clarke opening. itstl

Clarke has decided he's better able to take advantage of the powerplay than Watto?

 

[Oscillatingmind]

Its good to see Clarke opening..

Clarke opening. itstl

His best chance of being effective. I'd sooner bat him at nine if I was told I had to bat him in the top seven this is where I'd bat him.

In other news, I can't wait until Fernando retires. One of my most despised cricketers.

 

[_Ed_]

A new record - Tony Greig has annoyed me with his very first sentence of his first commentary stint (that I've heard) of the summer.

"I've always had a soft spot for these little Sri Lankans." Diabolical.

 

[Prince EWS]

I have to laugh at the entire team being picked from New South Wales and Victoria, and Hodge still not getting a game.

 

[Oscillatingmind]

Clarke's just going to stifle the innings from the start, at 5-7 at least theres a chance he wont get a bat.

 

[Flem274*]

Someone who is not one of the big four needs to go over there and dish out a hiding to them in a test series just so Taahny Greeg, Healy and Nicholas can be reduced to tears live on air.

 

[Howsie]

Such a shame the pitch is never this quick for test match cricket.

 

[Oscillatingmind]

Hopefully Clarke can even run out a couple of partners

 

[TT Boy]

Thought McKay would have gone the same way of Dorey by now.

Dilhara Fernando is the new AA.

Is just always around.

Sri Lanka did the right thing. They didn't run out Clarke, which is to their own benefit.

 

[four_or_six]

Good tactical miss from the Sri lankans.

Or himself. Selfish move to put himself at the top of the order.

 

[Jono]

Finally. First boundary in the third over. Odd for a T20.

Bowling short was dumb considering how Clarke wasn't picking the gaps for hte full balls. But that's Dilhara Fernando., Dumb.

 

[Prince EWS]

Lol'n at my mates who don't really follow cricket asking me why Malinga is allowed to chuck it. These are the sort of fans you're bringing to cricket, T20. Do we really want them?

 

[Jono]

Askl them how the **** does one throw the ball without bending your arm at all?

 

[TT Boy]

Dilhara Fernando is the new AA.

Is just always around.

Must be mates with Sachin as well. Only way it explains Fernando's IPL contract.
