NOO!! Katich!! He was nowhere near it!

 

[Tim]

jeez, Australia have totally lost the plot with their fielding these days.

 

[Slow Love™]

Oh god, same old problems. Katich should have taken that one.

 

[Tim]

Its going to be a Vettori special at #10 I reckon.

 

[Slow Love™]

And Symonds makes no mistake! Lara gone, and Bracken causing some real problems for the left-handers.

Lol turn it up. Lara played a very lazy shot.

 

[Jdz]

Yay, I just tuned in to the radio aswell.

*loses breath*

 

[Barney Rubble]

This thread is far more up to date than Cricinfo, Lara's only faced 1 ball so far according to them.

EDIT: He only faced two in total, haha!

 

[andyc]

They could be 4/50 if Katich had held onto that.

 

[Adamc]

Lara's not allowed to get out.

Yeah, when I didn't have TV, I'd use CW to find out when a wicket fell or a six happened, and then I'd wait for cricinfo to see the details.

Goodness me, what is the point of having the third umpire if the on field umpires aren't going to use them?

Poor decision.

Yeah, perhaps the umpire decided it was plumb. They obviously got that wrong, to me it was almost definitely missing leg (though watching it for the first time I thought it was out)
.

 

[Steulen]

Haha...funny this.

Sehwag out, Kallis walks in. Kallis out, Lara in. Lara out, you get Dravid...insane.

Give the guy some credit. He bowled a consistent line, kept it tight, and he had Sangakkara playing awkwardly in the air in that region twice - as well as the one that went straight up that Katich should have taken.

Yeah to be fair he is bowling nicely. I am impressed.

 

[Blaze]

Looking at Brackens stats, he has a very good ODI record.

 

[andyc]

Looking at Brackens stats, he has a very good ODI record.

Yeah, 18 matches, 29 wickets at 19.65 with an econ at 3.9. I'm not sure why he hasn't been in the team for so long (his last match was in November of 2003 [8 overs, 1/15 in India])

Poor decision.

You're right, they should have. And I'm sure part of the point of the trial would be to give the concept a fair workout. Having said that, I felt quite confident at the time he was struck, and after watching the replays, I still think it was out.

 

[Tim]

Watson looks a very ordinary cricketer to me, or at least he doesn't have the x-factor for international cricket.

He appears overrawed when he bats, and his bowling is quite short and wide at times. I can't see Australia having too much patience with him..but I think they need to because they haven't got many options for all-rounders.

 

[Barney Rubble]

Dravid gone, it's flashback time for Ricky Ponting with Pietersen arriving at the wicket with his team in trouble......
