Super Eight

[simmy]

Have the Aussies got a bit complacent after picking up 3 quick wickets, or has the pitch just eased out.

Just good batting and Tait's bowling I reckon.

Obviously simmy, since the Aussies aren't going too well you would find everything related to this game good.

On the current Aussie form, the Lankans have to be close to 400 to have a chance.

True, especially with no Vaas or Murali

Not worried in the slightest for this game, especially with Hodge at 7 and no Murali, Vaas and Malinga. However it's not a good sign.

Meh, not really. I am just happy that we have some sort of game on our hands.

It looked as if the Aussies would chase 160 at one point.

 

[Mahindinho]

Damn it!! Aussies just don't look like picking a wicket atm.

Don't...say...that...

PLEASE.

I'm feeling pretty nervous -- the decision to rest Vaas and Murali will be a good one, as long as it's a close game or SL victory. If SL end up getting thumped, Australia will gain one hell of a psychological advantage.

To all those saying that Murali doesn't need a rest, I should point out that his shoulder takes a lot of strain (I've heard that his arm rotation is as quick as a fast bowlers'), and has been injured several times. The team physio has to do some serious work on him at the end of every match. Murali really won't want to be rested, ever, but that's not to say that he couldn't do with one.

Pup, I also have a sizeable bet on Aussies winning the WC.

 

[pup11]

Want Watson back in the team as soon as possible the current team- balance just ain't working for the Aussies.

 

[simmy]

Wicket for Hogg.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Hoggy!!!

Soft shot that.

 

[pup11]

Phew!! George picks up a wicket finally. Silva gone.

 

[pasag]

Finally.

 

[simmy]

Yeah, that was utter toilet. Thrown away a lot of hard work.

Next five overs are crucial

 

[pup11]

Dilshan is a dangerous batsman at this stage of the game. Aussies need a few quick wickets to restrict the Lankans.

 

[Nishant]

silva gone!

 

[Nishant]

damn u all beat me to it! lol.

 

[simmy]

Aussies massively on top atm imo.

Going to take a massive effort to mount a big enough total here.

 

[simmy]

damn u all beat me to it! lol.

Yeah by about 5 mins!

 

[pup11]

Ponting is thinking of bringing Taito back into the attack!!!


Now only 2 things can happen then either Tait would rip through this Lankan middle-order or he would be trashed again.

 

[pasag]

Nice! Hogg! Mahela goneeee.
