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

[HevyDevy]

Well he was dropped 3 games after scoring 300 runs in a Test. Why not drop him immediately after scoring 100+ runs in a test.

The second time he was dropped was fair enough but he should never have been dropped the first time.

 

[HevyDevy]

We need to pick best players in their best positions

Watson at 6 , you may as well bring back Marcus North

This just undelines our bowling stocks atm and is a temporary fix (fail) . Once we have many fit bowlers that wont be an issue, plus Watson can still bowl 8-9 overs per dig with no drama

I see no reason why Watson couldn't work at 6.

This test will be a draw. Australia has such a pop gun attack. I doubt they will win a test this summer.

I reckon we will blitz all comers in t20, straight after the big bash, bailey as captain, man SL wont know what hit them :sarcasm:

 

[Hallatia]

another good review from the Lankans

 

[Tommy Smith]

WHAT THE f**k IS WRONG WITH THESE UMPIRES??!!!

ANOTHER ONE CLEARLY STRIKING OUTSIDE THE LINE.

USELESS!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Have a whinge Taylor! F*ck give it up champ.

 

[Tommy Smith]

I can't believe all this talk from Taylor. It's all about getting the right decision. If the UDRS was around in Warne's time he would have had about 800 test wickets. It works both ways.

No-one wants a test match to be won or lost on the consistent incompetence of one particular umpire.

 

[BunniesMan]

I hate that they were given less than 400 to chase in more than a day and they refuse to have a proper go at it. If it was the other way around I'm sure we would have risked losing to chase it down.

 

[BunniesMan]

SIDDLE! You fantastic beautiful vegan!

 

[TheParraboy]

Siddle the magnificent.

 

[BunniesMan]

oh ffs more rain

 

[skeepe]

Sri Lanka should lose both challenges for having that reviewed. As plumb as you will see.

No, no you wouldn't. It's a highly improbable chase.

And finally, a good decision! It took the world's plumbest lbw for him to get one right though.

Hey Tubby, i thought i already told you to STFU. So annoying.

 

[Canard]

BM you said it would be fine and the was no need to rush.

 

[Hutty1986]

f**k off sanga. get yourself another bag here sids!

 

[BunniesMan]

BM you said it would be fine and the was no need to rush.

Well maybe it was naive of me to assume another country would be as competitive as we are when it comes to risking losses to get wins.

 

[hineyrulz]

Massive wicket, the Salad eating Victorian does it again. He just needs some help from the other end.

 

[HevyDevy]

Oooh, great Ozzy Osbourne song there.

Not a fan of the radio?

 

[BunniesMan]

Stop calling him a Victorian when he's doing good.

uh oh, big cover is now going on
