3rd ODI: Australia v Sri Lanka @ WACA Friday (D/N)

[Simple Jack]

Lol I know everyone hates Haddin here, but that was a pretty standard take.

Yep, an international keeper should be able to cover anything on the left (for a right hander) hand side of a conventional first slip. If you have a good keeper/first slip partnership it alows you to have a 1.5 slip.

That's what we're excited about, adequate wicketkeeping.

Bummer, Wade has had quite a few close ones.

Poor captaincy by Clarke.

 

[Tassieboy]

Jed, did you have to lock the Dimma thread, as it was providing our board's laughs.

What's our guess on the crowd? 15k?

 

[Cooldude]

We've lost a game in a similar position before under Clarke against Sri Lanka

So could get a little nervy

It was Mathews as the hero then too I think. He got them over the line in one of those games before the ashes IIRC.

 

[THRILLHO]

It's always a little jarring on the eyes seeing the white test uniforms after a couple of games in the coloured uniforms.

I have no idea why.

 

[Ghostwriter]

Healy's a disgrace, typical brainless bogan Queenslander.

 

[Stats Man]

hahaha. exactly the same thing happens to me thrillho. top call.

 

[Simple Jack]

Me too, but I think it might have had something to do with the playback. It looked very stuttery, and I'm pretty sure it didn't look like that live.

Certainly does look very bright though.

It's because the one day uniforms are quite dark, which makes the whites look much brighter in comparison.





Thanks Ben?

Yeah we got done by the Lankans that series I think, signs of things to come back then...

Also that the tests are played during the day and sunlight is brighter than the stadium lights.

Thanks Ben's for all!

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Mathews just itching to get after Doherty but not yet willing to take the risk.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

That'll make it harder for the Sri Lankans. Good bowling and easy stumping for Wade.

 

[Drummond]

Fantastic over X.

 

[Cousin Jed]

Done in by a left arm orthodox in Perth. Love it.

Thanks Ben?

Strong username.

 

[vWestCoast]

Bring in Starc for an over. Will snag a wicket.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Four catches and a stumping for Wade. Had a good night.

 

[Drummond]

Why no Starc?? Deserved a chance to get another scalp.

 

[Underarm]

M. Wade for motm? either way, with his batting in 3 of the 4 matches being good including 2 motm already, and now a decent haul with the gloves, there's not really that much he's doing wrong.....


Anyone know when the next team is chosen?

 

[aussierulesrules]

Clint McKay: Right arm slowver.

 

[Drummond]

Dare I have another go at the umpire...?

 

[PrideOf]

Watching Mathews face the slower ball is just comedy now.

 

[FlyingBurittoBro]

I had hoped the sri lankas were going to put up more of a fight
