1st Test: Sri Lanka v Australia at Galle Aug 31-Sep 4, 2011

A couple of cracking shots by Hughes, keep it up son!!

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.

I prefer this way, having the ODIs and T20s after makes the series drag on aka the India v England one. If anything add the 2-3 FC matches after the ODI series. Either way it makes no difference to the Aussies they bat like this whether ODIs are first or last.

SL will win this test

I'm convinced you don't even watch games. What have you possibly seen that would lead you to believe Sri Lanka will win this test?

f**k

Hughes gone, damn it he was doing well. I really think we have enough now.

Is it just me or did that ball look like it was turning more than hawkeye showed?:?

It noticably turned, on the replay my gut reaction was missing OFF, hawkeye reckons it didnt turn in the slighest and went into leg stump. I've thought its dodgy technology for a long time and don't like it.

I thought so too, it looked like it was going to go a long way.

Are they using the dodgey Kiwi technology? That would explain a lot.

You mean our world class technology

 

[hineyrulz]

That looks to be missing.

 

[aussies1st]

This is how Clarke should bat in ODIs

 

[hineyrulz]

Quality 50 by the captain.

 

[TheParraboy]

Clarke doing very well, will this be the 1st ton for the match? by the Australian captain?

 

[aussies1st]

What an entertaining knock by Clarke. Well played for the 50 and keeps on going.

It was definitely missing off I reckon. Still the system gets it right (ie Clarke) far far more often than wrong, so I can live with the rare errors.

 

[Pete Cash]

I don't know if it was missing off but I am almost 100 percent sure it was going towards off rather than towards leg which is where Hawkeye predicted it was going. How weird.

 

[hineyrulz]

Dilshan has missed a trick, should have brought back a quick and tried to do a Watto and getting it to reverse. Clarke is playing the spinners brilliantly.

 

[aussies1st]

Good move going around the wicket to Clarke, he didn't look as comfortable. Over to Khawaja.

 

[aussies1st]

This is where hot spot would have been good.
