So you agree that we should shorten Test matches?
This guy is kidding himself.

Jono posted before Chappelli suggested that, in all fairness.

Haha. I did say 'a lot' and not everything. That was surprising to come from him, but that being said I don't think he was necessarily saying it should happen, just that it may.
But as Prince said, he was talking sense before the break.

Slats is dead on. With the increasing popularity of T20, I too am worried about the value of the baggy green. They're all making some excellent points regarding the game.

Yeah, especially regarding how Sri Lanka should be approaching their innings. If you let Australia dictate terms too much, even though you've batted for a long time - a couple of quick wickets and suddenly you're still behind, or not far enough ahead. Fair enough, it is a couple of defensive batsmen in at the moment, and they are playing their natural game really to an extent, but you still need to remain in a positive mode.

Blah, all the points the Aussie commentators make are fair enough if you're Australia and have Australia's talent.

Shame for Vandort - but ripping ball for his 200th!

100 to 150 run lead, this game is ours if MacGill can get a ball to spin that much. Australia have no chance against Murali.
Fair knock from Vandort

Yeah, that was a great shot. I close my eyes and I can still see it. Absolutely lovely.
This test is a 'might have been' for SL. Even now, it still is.

Also, two things that Channel Nine showed that were awesome.
1. The rain in the 1998/99 series vs England, at the 'Gabba. Now that's getting washed out.
2. Highlights of Aravinda DeSilva pulling and hooking vs Australia for 176.

Indeed, the way that the rain and lightning just struck all of a sudden was really impressive. The amount of rain on the field reminded me of Lords earlier in the year, but at Lords the drainage system worked wonders and they only lost about an hours play.
