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

Thats why we need to go for it yesterday, to put the runs on the board and allow ourselves the time to bowl them out.

Plodding in the top order hurt us.

But but but but BunniesMong said we should bat carefully and take our time??? I mean on this terrible wicket we should clean them up in two sessions.


Siddle you magnificent VegTard!!!!!

 

[BunniesMan]

Maybe Siddle can do it by himself...big breakthrough.

 

[BDR]

Peter the magnificent.

What a catch too btw

 

[Hutty1986]

Clarkey goes some way to making amends for his drop yesterday, on ya cap'n!

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Veggieman must have had an extra smoothie at the drinks break. Jawardene never looked comfortable, it was obvious he was only looking to survive.

 

[Hallatia]

very important breakthrough, but Australia can't feel like they are about to win this until either Sanga or Mathews is gone

 

[VictorTheViking]

Bring in Ben Cutting or Jackson Bird, shitchell can carry the drinks, we dont need two inconsistent left armers in the side

 

[Canard]

A couple more before Lunch would be nice.

 

[BunniesMan]

Samaraweera has an annoying stance.

 

[abpanther]

Warner bowling very well I reckon

 

[AlwaysGreen]

He's certainly got the grunt going.

 

[Hallatia]

half century up for Sanga

when I saw this headline all I could thing was a stupid statement made by one of the commies this morning. The contents of the actual article are more serious than that

Sri Lanka raise ball-tampering question
Andrew Fernando at Bellerive Oval
December 17, 2012

Sri Lanka's team management has expressed concerns over footage that it believes shows Peter Siddle tampering with the ball in Sri Lanka's first innings.

Management believes broadcast cameras may have captured Siddle using his fingernails to raise the seam of the ball in the 88th over of Sri Lanka's innings. A still picture of the alleged incident has since been making the rounds on social media.

Sri Lanka are yet to make an official complaint to match referee Chris Broad but have spoken informally to him about the issue. The ICC has since issued a statement acknowledging Broad is aware of their concerns.

"ICC match referee Chris Broad is aware of the media reports coming out of Sri Lanka on the ball issue," an official release said. "The Sri Lanka team has made no official complaint about the ball."

Siddle took 5 for 54 runs in Sri Lanka's first innings, helping secure a 114-run first-innings lead for Australia.

Gee Wade is messy behind the stumps.

Can someone post the alleged ball tampering photo?

 

[hineyrulz]

[Hutty1986]

Need another one before lunch

 

[Hallatia]

Can someone post the alleged ball tampering photo?

I've been looking for it since I saw the article and I can't find it

 

[Twizzle]

geez, what bowler doesn't stick their thumb nail in the seam ?

I dont think I've seen Starc bowl a full toss yet, he always errs on the side of short so he dishes up far to many half volleys for mine, even a full toss can get a bowled or LBW if it swings
