3rd Test: Australia v Sri Lanka at Sydney Jan 3 - 7, 2013

Nice to see SL give Hussey a guard of honor.

 

[Sphagnum]

Pradeep about to push his average over 400.

Steve Waugh didn't score his first century until his 27th test, four years after his debut. He scored ten fifties before he managed to get into triple figures.

I know many people who did not think Steve Waugh was suited to the longer form of the game. Amazing what experience can do huh?


Warner and Hughes will be fine with time.

its like the pitcher in baseball who couldnt get the one out, the average of infinity :lol:

 

[Sphagnum]

Fancy comparing Steve Waugh with Phil Hughes.

You merkins should be ashamed of yourselves.

Fantastic summary of stats from 2012. Clarkey's numbers are just phenomenal, I particularly liked his wagon wheel-very, very well balanced on both sides of the wicket!

At the same point in their careers Hughes > Waugh (in terms of batting)

You can't really compare the two until Hughes has quite a few more years of experience,

 

[BDR]

These two men won't be throwing it away in the 80s I can assure you of that. If they can get there that is...

Great knocks from Warner and Hughes but they both let centuries go begging, not for the first time this summer.

Look if they are to THROW hundreds away, you would rather it be against SL when they can learn from it and not do it against England!

He didn't open or come in at 3

He also bowled

 

[Xfactor1979]

I'm starting to hate test cricket. Too many lop sided games.

It does get a little bit boring when its a one-horse race

I don't think anyone of same mind believes they will be dropped.

Where to the SL attack rank though I suspect Quiney would have got runs against these guys.

 

[Coaster]

Imagine spending 7 weeks on a boat and landing in England. FMD that's a tough trip

Some might say Waugh's bowling was the only thing that kept him in the test side until the Ashes campaign of 1989. That .... and his potential. After twenty tests his batting average was only 26.


Imagine the criticism Waugh would have got from many posters on here with an batting average less than 30.

 

[BDR]

f**k me poor Huss. We are gifting them wickets, ridiculous.

 

[Horrie Is God]

Finally some decent fielding by the Lankans..

I get the feeling we'll see Huss bat one more time..

 

[Leagueaddict]

Didn't go to script, bad luck Huss.

 

[Sphagnum]

Doh!

and Sri Lanka now into the tail.

 

[Hutty1986]

TWO run outs?? Are you f*cking kidding me???

 

[Hutty1986]

This could end quickly with nuffies Wade & Johnson to come. Clarke needs a ton here
