2nd ODI: Australia v Sri Lanka at Sydney Nov 5 2010

[aussies1st]

There clearly is a lack of planning ever since Buchannan left. Our bowlers can't really be as bad as any other side it is just that ours are poorly coached.:crazy:

You even have McKay whose usually pretty good at the death, bowling crap balls.

 

[skeepe]

5 sixes and a four required.

The start of the summer of hell??

 

[TheParraboy]

congratulations SL

Batted better, bowled and fielded far better

Interview with Punter will be interesting

7 losses on the trot now for Australia, our no1 ranking in ODIs must be slipping down badly

 

[TheParraboy]

The start of the summer of hell??

WA to bowl out poms for under 100?

oh ...you mean us

 

[beads6]

I will say nothing has gone right for the Aussies so far this summer, all we need is a special innings or bowling performance to really set us off and we should turn it around.

 

[aussies1st]

Roles have been reversed, we are playing like SL back in the day and they are playing like us back in our hay day.

 

[ElectricEelMan]

Roles have been reversed, we are playing like SL back in the day and they are playing like us back in our hay day.

That's what happens when one team has a good to great coaching staff and the other team has a Hagan impersonator as a coach

I completely agree, it is so weird and it will be hard for us to get used to.. Does that mean we will lose the Ashes 4-1 and chop and change the team every test??

 

[TheParraboy]

damm you ch9, was looking forward to punter getting interviewed as runner up in the series

 

[hineyrulz]

And the hits keep on coming, Sri Lanka outplayed us in every facet though. I'm so glad Hauri was brought back and Ferguson left out :? And Siddle what an inspired selection, couldn't think of anyone more deserving :crazy:

Nah Ponting's boys will be safe throughout the whole Ashes. Hughes isn't there to be the scape goat again.

 

[Twizzle]

the Rug must be rubbing his hands together the quicks all went for over 5 runs an over with 1 wicket between them, and Notch has really lost his mojo atm, his control or lack of is just terrible

once again I ask, what is our bowling coach doing about it ?

 

[beads6]

Sounds like the rug will be lucky to be fit for the first test. I hope he is I really do.

 

[Twizzle]

he's fit now, I saw him interviewed on Fox, he's is raring to go

no reason what he could not be in our ODI team

 

[Panther_Daz]

Impressive performance.

Great to see the youngsters such as Tharanga, Mathews, Perera and Randiv contributing to the victory's.

Should give the WC a real shake now.

Not what it says in the Courier Mail today but I'll take your word for it. We do need him fit for the Ashes. Also Harris is returning for the Bulls today hopefully he can perform well and get into the team.

he should start handing out the cough lollies again

To think we could've had Waqar Younis as our bowling coach but instead we have some nuffy from Tasmania who was a decent club cricketer at best in his day.

I hear the nuffy is now taking over the centre of excellence, those poor kids are screwed
