5th ODI: Australia v Sri Lanka @ Hobart (Wed D/N)

[Sea fog]

Slowish going.

 

[Hawthorn United]

Digging in and fighting it out?

Good change from swinging and being 9/40

 

[Whowants2know]

5 maidens in 20 overs, how about hitting the ball into gaps and get a single, its better than nothing

 

[Whowants2know]

did that hit the stumps??/

 

[Stig O'Hara]

How bloody lucky was Hughes!!!!!!!

.....bangs onto the stumps, and the bails stay on.

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

Chewing gum on the bails?

 

[MG MG]

did that hit the stumps??/

Yep! Sure he wouldn't be laughing of that knocked the bails off!

 

[Mateyman]

Will we get any conspiracy theories about Australians digging the stumps too far into the ground?

 

[outabounds]

Don't usually fall asleep during the first hour of a One Day game but just did.

 

[Ravenous Crow]

Just tuned in. Henriques listed on the batting card.

Surely this is some kind of graphical error?

 

[Hawthorn United]

We're not playing India.

 

[jackess]

Hughes starting to look good. Has improved heaps against spinners.

 

[MG MG]

50-Partnership!!! *claps*

 

[coryne]

50-Partnership!!! *claps*

In what, 200 balls ???

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Bugger me George, all that hard work down the toilet.......caught and bowled.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Oh George, once you have a start of 17 off 43 balls you have to get a score or you look pretty stupid.

 

[jackess]

Might be Hussey's last chance here. Should be a few guys pushing for middle order spots (Marsh, Ferguson, etc.).

 

[DustinsGuns]

Gawd awful innings. 17 of 43? This guy is no good.

Don't be insulting our National Captain

 

[Kaiser Powser]

I know we are in a sort of rebuilding phase, but surely there are better players than Bailey and Henriques going around? I guess it does prove that average state players make below average international players. i mean if that was what CA was trying to find out.

 

[DustinsGuns]

Gilchirst
Hayden
Ponting
Clarke
Symonds
M Hussey

Now there was a top 6! None of this team would even get a look in against that side

 

[PAdman]

Bailey is still a huge spud, this is so boring I can't wait for the first T20.

 

[knobby]

surely Dan Christian is a better allrounder than Henriques or Maxwell, also whats the point of having Khawaja around and then playing Maxwell.

 

[DardySingh360]

Those T20's better be live in Perth

 

[Kaiser Powser]

Don't be insulting our National Captain

Looks like we have two Maxwell's in the team then.
