Shittle has bowled well today, Poor old Matthews still trying to get his first ton :lol:

 

[Twizzle]

finally gets his ton

 

[aussies1st]

Congrats Mathews, certainly deserved it.

 

[Panther_Daz]

Well done Angelo. Here's hoping there's many more to come!

 

[Mr Angry]

Happy for him.

 

[hineyrulz]

How much cash do you think Tony Greig put on the Lankans???

 

[hineyrulz]

Are Sri Lanka trying to win this game???

 

[hineyrulz]

Good to see Shitchell get his regulation tail end wicket.

 

[Horrie Is God]

Batting with Watson must be a nightmare..

He is possibly the worst caller of a run in world cricket..

I've lost count of how many times he ran Katich out..I remember they ended up at the same end one innings..

 

[Matt23]

Watson gone LBW...again

 

[Tom Shines]

Nice shot Watson ya f**kwit

 

[BunniesMan]

Watson gone.

Hughes looking good. Got his eye in, hopefully this time he cashes in and gets a big score. I think batting with Marsh is better for him than batting with Watson who could run him out at any moment.

 

[aussies1st]

LBW Watson is back again.

 

[Twizzle]

Hughes going at better than a run a ball

 

[aussies1st]

Hughes technique has looked better this tour compared to his debut, not perfect yet but this innings is looking good for him.

 

[Horrie Is God]

Patience seems to be a problem for Hughes too..

When he is in full flow he looks fantastic..When he goes back into his shell,especially to the spinners,he looks like a Fourth grade number 11..

 

[Matt23]

:-$ Don't jinx him! especially you PB

 

[hineyrulz]

He has played well so far, he really needs to go on and cement his spot. Watson is doing far to much bowling to be opening the batting, with Johnson's slide we will be needing Watsons bowling more and more.

 

[Matt23]

It would make more sense to use Marsh as an opener, and send Watson down the order

 

[Twizzle]

It would make more sense to use Marsh as an opener, and send Watson down the order

this

they also nurse him as a bowler when we are bowling at the tail as they know he has to bat soon

its just not working, opening batsmen should be averaging over 40, just just over 30
