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

[Leagueaddict]

Siddle cleans up.

 

[IanG]

Sri Lanka 336 all out

Siddle gets 5 for 54 from 24.3 Overs

Hope he tells the selectors to get stuff if they try to rotate him out of the team again.

Probably wont though because the first and second tests aren't back to back

 

[BunniesMan]

Never been a big fan of Siddle at all but the Victorian has been immense today

I wasn't a fan of his at all a while ago but he's been our best bowler by far all summer. He's the only one who looked penetrating today.

 

[BunniesMan]

If we bat well we'll be about 450 up this time tomorrow. Declare with enough time to get a wicket or 2 before stumps tomorrow. Then rip through em on day 5.

 

[TheParraboy]

16 overs left this evening

0/70 would be nice, lead of 184 going into day 5

 

[Hutty1986]

Very testing little period for our openers here, about half an hour before stumps. Dave and Ed will really need to knuckle down

 

[Leagueaddict]

Time for Cowan to put a few runs on the board again.

 

[BunniesMan]

Very testing little period for our openers here, about half an hour before stumps. Dave and Ed will really need to knuckle down

There's more than an hour to go if it doesn't rain.

They have 15 or 16 overs to bowl but if it rains after 5.59 that's the end of that.

 

[Leagueaddict]

And not go out cheaply....

 

[BunniesMan]

Nervous about Warner. He's not suited to being in survival mode.

 

[snoozer]

jeez they need to service that tractor that drags the covers out for the rain! smokes more than me!

 

[BunniesMan]

Covers off.

 

[aussies1st]

Uh oh might have another team boycotting the DRS.

 

[hineyrulz]

Cowan dodges a bullet, that looked plumb.

 

[snoozer]

wtf happened there?

that was the plumbest lbw i've seen all match!

did the nein commentators kick up?(i'm watching but listening to abc)

 

[BunniesMan]

lol@Sri Lanka. They're so bad at it they've now been scared into not using it.

 

[Horrie Is God]

Cowan dodges a bullet, that looked plumb.

It's been a weird day..We didn't review the Sidds caught behind,then that plum LB not looked at either..:crazy:

 

[IanG]

Time to flick it over to GEM

 

[aussies1st]

did the nein commentators kick up?(i'm watching but listening to abc)

Not like they did for the Herath one.

 

[BunniesMan]

Basically Cowans job here is to be a glorified night watchman. Blunt the new ball and don't make Hughesy come out this late. Bat through to stumps, then ideally he gets out of the way about 30 minutes into tomorrow for Hughes time.
