Sri Lankan Tour of Australia, October-November 2010/11

[Iridium]

Guess Clarke needs as much time as possible to get his innings going. Probably why he opened.

 

[Mike23]

Clarke's gone, good catch from fernando!

 

[Chewie]

Haha, oh how have I missed this commentary team.

You posted the same thing over at CW I see as well

Australia not off to a good start here, the SL bowlers have been tight and managed to take two wickets... though Australians would debate that getting Clarke out will probably boost their score

 

[ajdude]

As ugly as it could be, please tell me that Channel Nine's correct in having Hastings batting at 6 bahaha.

 

[angryangy]

It's not looking an easy pitch with the bounce, but moreso because of those big T20 shots. Need to be looking at 120-140.

 

[Aussie Team]

wow! lost couple of wickets in the early overs. things looking worst for Australia.

 

[aussie1st]

Pure brilliance by Smith Might have looked dodgy in his first few balls but looks to be getting into his work now.

 

[angryangy]

Haddin too is unleashing 4 months of frustration.

 

[TumTum]

Murali continues struggling bowling in Australia.

 

[aussie1st]

OMFG what a display Smith is putting on. We are in trouble and he still has the confidence to play their amazing shots. Gone now but what an innings that was, done enough to convince me hes ready to take over North or Hussey in the Test side.

Oh plz, I know you love him but :rtfl

 

[Themer]

I'm so shitting myself over the prospect of facing Australia in a months time...

Apart from the shite start Smith and Haddin look in absolutely stunning touch here. Haddin back and fit isn't what I was hoping in the run up to the Ashes. Kiss of death they're both out before I've even finished typing.

Haha. I was just about to write how Australia would be aiming for about 135-140 if they continued but scratch that. Maybe looking at around 125 now.

 

[aussie1st]

Oh plz, I know you love him but

It's not like I'm randomly calling him for a Test spot based on this, I've been called for him to replace North since the start of the year. About time I got that wish!

 

[ZexyZahid]

After such a great start Sri Lanka is now ruining it.

But still. Australia scored 133 runs. That's a reachable target for Sri Lanka.
