no one dayers strange! :scratch:

 

[Dimuthu]

yeah man... really weird... must be afraid we'll beat them badly :
They're more confident with the tests. But since Hashan's bad captaincy isn't there could have stunned them.... but not w/o Murali!!

Btw watch out for Lasith Malinga.
He's got a round arm quick action, VERY fast... fastest bowler in the island.

Let's see if his action suddenly becomes "suspicious" if he performs well..... Like wat happened to Ruchira Perera in Eng... no prob with him til he started takin lota of wickets!

Andrew, you should be updating this better :P

Ricky Ponting is ouot of the 1st test match, due to a family funeral. Matthew Elliot is takin his place in squad.
Adam Gilchrist is taking over captaincy while Darren Lehmann will be his deputy.

And Marvan Atapattu says he's available for the test as well, he had a scare with his back, been popping pain killers these days. Got a bad back due to batting too much with the bowling machine it seems.

 

[ricky123]

B) dont forget we have time difference when ur sleeping at home ,he may be at work

anyway even u can update the news who is stopping you :P

 

[squiz]

Hope Elliot makes a big score.

Carn' Victoria!!!
