[Horrie Is God]

just copy and paste these pics for husseys 2nd innings mate

I reckon Pup & the Umps joining the guard of honour was a nice touch..

We missed Sunshine??

The Hoover did.

Since Kumar, always like the lankans, much respect for the way they handled themselves this trip.

They obviously have selection issues, and a shallow pool to pick from.

Have hidden our poor selections, RSA did not.

Anyways hopefully Clarkey takes some lessons from this summer. We know the selectors will not, dead set unsure how they keep thier jobs.

To a stats guru,

Since Clarke was Captain how many games has Watson played. What is our win lose draw with him and without him in this time?

I recall a few wins without him.

its shaping like sl will fold in the 2nd innings just looking at how uneven the pitch is playing

I recall a few wins without him.

In 12 tests under clarkes captaincy, Sunshine averages 27.17 with the bat (over 41 per dig under punter)

not sure about the win/loss ratio

The answer is Clarke has captained 21 tests for Australia..

Watson failed to play in 9 of those tests..

We won 5 Lost 1 Draws 2 Games in progress 1,with Watson out..

The pitch is not playing that well

Matthew Wade has scratched around for 100 balls for 40 odd (going out there with an aggressive intent) and Hussey didnt hit a single boundary

 

[AlwaysGreen]

There is nothing wrong with the f**king pitch.

 

[Horrie Is God]

Wrong thread..

Go the Aussies..

Would have made his 3rd test 100 on this pitch IMO.

Wagon wheel really shows Hughes hasnt made a huge improvement in his range of strokes. Barely any runs between mid on and point.

His defence looks much solider but there's still weakness to exploit and he'll be tested big time by the poms if he cannot drive.

i dont think so, SL just bowled wide of the stumps to him. While he isn't going to flick balls off middle and off to the onside like Clarke and Hussey can, he generally was able to rotate the strike when balls on his pads.

statistics and his mental personna say otherwise :lol:

 

[hineyrulz]

I'm putting a massive 10 bucks on a Siddle 50.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Siddle calling for new gloves. :lol: the hapless Sri Lankans are struggling.

 

[Horrie Is God]

I love watching Sidds bat..

He's the funniest bat in our side..

He's got nothing on Lakmal & PraDerp though..That was champagne comedy..

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

our tail is doing well so far, lead of 90. If we can get a 150+ lead, we got dis.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Down leg?

No out. Lyon and Bird to put on a show with Scissorhands. Herath could be dangerous in the 4th innings if he has a total to bowl to.

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

and as i say that we lose like 14 wickets
