***Official*** Sri Lanka in Australia 2012/2013

[Crazy Sam]

How the hell can they appeal for that

 

[Burgey]

Fruit for the sight board.

Classic Bill.

Khawaja not International quality. Go run out Greg Mail in Grade Cricket, son.

 

[ajdude]

I'd love a bailey ton, most of his haters would probably think its a century on debut as well so that's cool

 

[Spark]

Wow, learn to run between the wickets you ****s

 

[Spikey]

ahhaha did bailey call the run, and then check to make sure there was actually a run there

 

[benchmark00]

Khawaja turned like the Titanic. Where's our friend who wanted him in the test team? Not sure we could afford to put him in over Hussey who can actually run between wickets.

Watch Dave Hussey try and play a short ball.

As soon as they referred that run out I knew he was in trouble, he tried to get in with the wrong side of the bat, should always dive with the face because the spine always causes the front half to be elevated.

 

[Spark]

Anyone, good 50 on debut

Would there have been an issue there if Bailey was run out after being obstructed? No imo, because his obstruction of Dilshan was the only reason the run was on in the first place, but it might have been a bit of a drama anyway.

Nah Dilshan was trying to field the ball. Nothing wrong there.

I thought that was running 101? Obvz not.

...as is the case with pretty much every such scenario ever. It doesn't make it less of an issue if a batsman gets run out because the bowler/fielder got in his way. See: Elliott/Sidebottom/Collingwood/Vettori drama in 2008.

I meant Mike Hussey. I forget which thread it was being discussed in, but one of the new members reckoned Hussey should've been dropped in 09 and Khawaja should've been given an extended run (along with Hughes).

the prince on an one man mission to knock out all the contenders for the number 6 spot.

i'm really not liking lee as a media pundit

Yeah he sucks. Pidge just awkward too.

 

[thierry henry]

What's with Perera, didn't he used to bowl kinda briskly?

 

[Burgey]

James Brayshaw really knows his cricket. He has quite rightly identified that Australian cricket needs someone who hits the ball "funky" like Maxwell.

Here we were thinking we needed a set of fit bowlers and some ****s who are technically proficient. Nope, what we need is a little funk.

 

[thierry henry]

tbh when I think of the slower ball I think of every current seam bowler playing club level and up.

 

[Burgey]

Flick over to Minute to Win It on seven and check this bird's rack. Seriously.
