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

Wicket on the first ball of spin for the match.

 

[aussies1st]

Hughes looking good against the seam bowlers.

 

[aussies1st]

Ouch short one grabs Hughes.

 

[Gidley Up]

Massive turn and variable bounce already. If the test lasts five days it won't be fun to bat on.

EDIT: Jayasuriya really bringing the flair and excitement he used to bat with into the commentary box.

 

[Twizzle]

lucky to last 3 days, this pitch is terrible

 

[umina panther]

Beats another boring test on a road

 

[Patorick]

2/76 at Lunch. Not too bad.

Can't believe they didn't pick Mendis.

 

[Matt23]

Hopefully the coaching regime addresses our inability to play on slow pitches/roads...

 

[aussies1st]

Not a good sign when our best player of spin is struggling.

 

[typicalfan]

Will be a good sign though if Punter can score some runs. Watch him get out now once I have said that.

Who didn't see that one coming.

 

[Matt23]

Yeah, I think most of us did

 

[Matt23]

Can't prove it hit the inside edge...move on

 

[Twizzle]

250 looks like being a good score for us but the SLs may handle the conditions better and no doubt their spinner will be better than Lyon

getting interesting

Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery.
