Great catch and a Michelle for Lyon, well bowled son

 

[Panther_Daz]

Some shocking shots but Lyon has bowled very well.

Absolutely attrocious batting.

Bloody embarrassing.

Well done to Lyon though. Huge confidence boost for him.

 

[aussies1st]

Lyon is there anything he can't do?

 

[Pete Cash]

Nice sharp c and b there.

Watson ripping through the middle order was key there.

 

[Panther_Daz]

Sri Lanka desperately need a Lyon Tamer...

Well bowled Nathan Lyon. I know the pitch was assisting the spinners but 5fer on debut is still inpressive.

Now watch as the selectors drop him for the next Test :sarcasm:

Sunshine bowled beautifully. But they bowled as a team and there was pressure from both ends. Something we haven't seen for a while, add in a captain not afraid to make a change and a little more aggresive and we look a more confident side. Mind you the batting was pretty ordinary.

He won't get a game till we play at the WACA struggle on a good wicket and never play again

 

[BunniesMan]

Bit harsh on the batting. This isn't an Aussie style pitch where 350+ is par. Our first innings total is looking very good right about now.

 

[yappy]

I thought the home side loved these conditions and was going to score 600?

This is a different team. Smarter attack that can keep things tight, and the game started on a day 4 pitch. It will be hard work for us, but every extra run is probably 1 more than we need. This dustbowl isn't going to be fun for anyone to bat on.

:lol::lol::lol:

 

[hineyrulz]

Sunshine gone for a golden globe.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

That's the Hoover done and dusted

 

[snoozer]

what the f**k!

 

[aussies1st]

Seems Sunshine is a bowling all rounder

 

[Matt23]

Terrible shot from Watson

 

[TheParraboy]

SL will win this test

 

[aussies1st]

Crazy stuff going on, Ponting loses his bat and his wicket.

 

[Panther_Daz]

Honestly some of the shots have been shocking.

It should be mandatory that a tour should start with 2 or 3 First Class tour matches, then into the Tests. The ODI's and T20's can then follow after that.

 

[hineyrulz]

Amazing how the batting goes to shit these days on a wicket that isn't a road. Batsman these day are so spoilt it isn't funny.
