1st ODI: Australia v Sri Lanka at Melbourne Nov 3 2010

[beads6]

Pretty sure the selectors are keen to have ferguson play as much first class cricket as possible. Even so he could have played today surely

 

[Bazal]

I wonder if Bayliss wants to come home and coach Australia

 

[Panther_Daz]

When he gets back he will obviously want a job. I doubt he will knock back the National gig!

 

[hineyrulz]

How would Bayliss be a chance???? He seems to have a brain and not a yes man.......

 

[hineyrulz]

Siddle gets Dilshan, that will get him into the first test

 

[Fast Eddie]

If Sangakkara isn't the most classy looking batsman in the world then I don't know who is.

 

[Panther_Daz]

Best batsman in the world ahead of Sachin.

Gotta be Jesse Ryder surely...

 

[hineyrulz]

Brilliant run out from Doherty, well these two are the two we need.

 

[Panther_Daz]

This is the partnership. If these two bat 20 overs together Sri Lanka will probably win.

They don't mind the odd long partnership or 2 either...

Lol you do say a lot of good stuff but you sure love to talk up your Sri Lankans up to epic proportions.

Can't argue with a test average of 50 though.

didn't see it thanks channel 9. Doherty is good in the field I remember him getting a run out in the T20 he played

Sachin has it over Sanga in his career no doubt. But the last 4-5 years Sanga has been outstanding.

Well it was brilliant, stopped a good shot and then threw the stumps down in no time.

In the last two years I think it is, Sachin has average close to 100.

 

[Panther_Daz]

Johnson could trouble Jayawardene early. Jayawardene tends to fish at the ones angling across him early in his innings. Clarke needs to keep 2 slips in place against Jayawardene.

yeah I jizzed a bit reading the cricinfo commentary

I agree with you. However I think it would be fair to say that he is still unproven outside of the sub-continent at this stage. Did you say earlier that you guys are going to South Africa because that will be a good test for him.

Yep Sachin averages 97 this year in Tests. Sanga averages 116
