1st ODI - Australia v Sri Lanka MCG Fri Jan 11 2013

[Hallatia]

I'm putting $10 on HAH running finch out.

he came close in the last over

I don't like the strip Sri Lanka are wearing, the back of it is particularly hideous

Aaaand, everyone look at HAH's strike rate and this is an ODI

 

[Hallatia]

the aim of the Sri Lankan fielders has been really good so far, run out does seem immanent

 

[AlwaysGreen]

So heals reckons that Gilly, the best ODI opener Australia has ever had should have batted down the order because if bouncy pitches.

Backing SL to win.

The crowd is terrible, there's barely anyone there? Hoping that by 4-5 when work is finished people starting turnin up but ATM for a Friday game during school holidays, that's borderline embarrassing.

Why would you turn up at the hottest part of the day?

Id be more worried come around 8pm

 

[TheParraboy]

Hughes on fire

 

[Hallatia]

that last shot from HAH was amazing :sarcasm:

 

[Horrie Is God]

Inver's Nurses are going to play this with only 7 guys today..

We are just that good..

And HAH is our fearless captain..

Damn I miss Tony Greig

Healy and Brayshaw are awful

 

[BunniesMan]

Look Malinga, Hughes as a 19 year old smashed Dale Steyn all over Africa. Your little "slingers" that are terrorising the mediocrity that is in the BBL will not trouble Hughes when he is in form.

I'll reserve judgement on the crowd until ball 1 of the 2nd innings considering this is a week day. If the crowd gets to 25-30k without Warner and Clarke I reckon that's a big success.

That chick dressed as Mario has been hit by the ugly stick while smoking a stick by the looks of it

 

[Meth]

wow Super Mario's let himself go.

 

[BunniesMan]

Malinga bowls, Hughes goes boom, Malinga turns around and walks back with a whimper.

Also would be nice if Finch got on with it. He's supposed to be the "next Gilly".

 

[Red&BlackBear]

Must be hard, Bill Lawry is trying to talk about what's happening in the middle and Bradshaw and Heals are talking absolute shit around him.

 

[Horrie Is God]

The Lankans look like they are wearing safety vests..

 

[Patorick]

Things you learn listening to ABC Radio: Phil Hughes is now a South Australian.

Or perhaps he just plays for South Australia, you decide.

 

[some11]

Would it be worth going to jail for shooting Nicholarse, Healey, Slater and Brayshaw?

Could argue insanity due to their dribbling.

 

[Meth]

Why would you not have a couple of slips in place when bowling to Hughes?
