1st Test: Australia v Sri Lanka at Hobart Dec 14-18, 2012

[Canard]

Clarke is under pressure now ..........

 

[Canard]

Looks a good prospect this fella

 

[MSIH]

lol, yeh

pin up boy has really caused a problem with his new batting technique, he's basically caused a new problem in trying to solve his old problem

he looks very Graham Smith like batting so far outside off stump, that ball that he got out on could have been left, or at least played straight but by getting so far outside off stump he is playing balls that are outside off stump around to the onside and played one onto his stumps that he should have left

he really has over corrected

Got to be taking the piss?

 

[Twizzle]

scoring pretty slow, be interesting to see what our bowlers get out of this pitch

 

[Xfactor1979]

after a stack full of reviews in the south african series

the sri lankans waste one as part of an afterthought

I got 86 reasons that say he hasn't overcorrected.

 

[Hallatia]

Sri Lanka are usually pretty good at reviews and are actually part of the real reason India don't do UDRS

 

[Earl]

Dare i say the reason there has hardly been a reveiw is because the umpires are doing a good job.

radical thinking i know, just thought i throw it out there

 

[Hallatia]

it annoyed me yesterday when there was this no ball which was about a foot in front of the line and the umpire called it straight away and one of the commies called that good umpiring:crazy:

fine,

name them

 

[Earl]

nothing better than getting a pat on the back for doing something your expected to do :lol:

 

[Twizzle]

I always reckoned this was a 350 run pitch and we look like getting over 400 albeit slowly

I dont think the Lankans will show this much patience

 

[Earl]

fine,

name them

please don't encourage him twiz

 

[Hallatia]

I'm surprised they didn't comment on how well he counted the balls each over or how well he read the clock to signify the end of each session

 

[BunniesMan]

fine,

Run #1 through to run #86 that he scored in a patient carefully constructed innings while facing 166 balls.

Sangakarra and Mahala will. These two know how to bat forever. I'm surprised that Chandimal isn't in the team, he's a real talent.

f**k off douche. We get it, you wanna suck Philly J's schlong. If you're a true cricket fan you'd shut the f**k up and let everyone else discuss the game rather than beating off over one player.

 

[Twizzle]

way to miss the point douchewaffle

you're referring to his score and I'm referring to his technique which has become even uglier

I think this pitch will even make Siddle look good
