I agree - no reason to save it until right at the death.

 

[beads6]

Pretty sure the Australian cricket team has completely run out of luck.... Sri Lanka have bowled well but that catch from Dilshan changed the game.

Johnson gone, god we are sh*thouse atm.

Yep nothing going right for us at all. Also would like to not DHead Slater saying all the selectors want to see from Hussey is some form so he can be selected for the Ashes. :crazy:

Agreed,Hussey has done nothing to show me he is any sort of form. He has hardly hit a ball in the middle of the bat, pushing singles to a spread field is all he is doing.....

We can still win this game but we will need Johnson and Siddle to bowl superbly with the new ball.

 

[Panther_Daz]

Now Smith gone, this Perera looks a pretty good player for the Lankans. Is Matthews injured????

Yeah Mathews has a back problem and will not bowl on this tour. He is in for his Batting only.

I think we need all the bowlers to bowl well, if one or two get carted its curtains

SL will win this easily, our batting sux

Sri Lanka now have two pretty decent all rounders in there team.

Either way it all starts with the new pill.

 

[Panther_Daz]

Trevor Bayliss has done an outstanding job with this team in all forms of Cricket they have improved. Moody paved the way and Bayliss has just made them even better.

5 wickets for Perera, what a good young player. This will not be enough.

 

[beads6]

Gotta say I can't stand that lap shot batsmen try and use. Just hit the ball FFS. 9 times out of 10 I see someone bowled when attempting that shot.

 

[Panther_Daz]

Perera is just what Sri Lanka needed. An effective 3rd seamer and a hard hitting Number 7.

Only 21 years of age too...

He is a talent, I wonder if he will be picked up for the big bash.. Don't be negative we are chance but we do need some kind of miracle...:sarcasm:

 

[Big Pete]

Perera was great with the ball today, really killed any chance we had of posting a big score.

Siddle and Johnson are going to have to pull off something special.

How did Ferguson miss selection for this game? Watching Marsh and Hussey bat together was about as enjoyable as watching paint dry. Bat Marsh as an opener or f**k him off. As for Hussey he finished with a strike-rate of 78. Sums him up pretty well I would have thought...


P.s Remind me what Hastings or Siddle have done to earn selection?

I hope we get smashed.
