Australia v Sri Lanka; 2nd Test @ Manuka Oval Feb 1-5.

[Furn2]

Just precautions hopefully

 

[imperial_oz]

I'm hoping a lot of this is precautionary. Nobody wants to see this happen

 

[jackster83]

Hope he's OK.

 

[maryjames]

Did he wake up?

 

[Richard Pryor]

Terrible sight, don't expect to see a guy being stretchered off straight into an ambulance playing AFL let alone cricket. Puts a grim tone into the game.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

I'd be taking Cummins out of the attack for a bit. He's not going to be in a good mindset himself.

 

[Richard Pryor]

Did he wake up?

Was talking and moving for a while which is hopefully a good sign.

 

[imperial_oz]

Did he wake up?

Yes apparently he was talking to the trainers

 

[Far Kern]

Did he wake up?

Yeah.

 

[maryjames]

Only saw the last few minutes

 

[Sproj]

If they play on, what do you do as bowler and captain? Not good at all.

 

[Kappa]

If he's awake, talking and moving his arms/legs then that rules out most of the extremely serious things which is good

 

[PT Bar None]

Well, that was a bit shit. Poor bugger. I hope he's OK

 

[Styxx]

Could have cracked a clavicle and had pins and needles down the arm like when you smash your funny bone.

That would be the best case scenario here.

 

[kickazz]

Any sort of neck injury and they take a lot of precautions to not move them until they can assess the damage, hopefully not as bad as it looks.

My first thought when they were trying to take off his helmet was wtf are you doing.

 

[k31th]

well bowled, Gary!

 

[PT Bar None]

Bowling!

 

[Far Kern]

If they play on, what do you do as bowler and captain? Not good at all.

You take a wicket...

 

[Buzzasto DaSilva]

Will need to grab one of the WAGs tweezers and start pulling the seem out from his neck. That is a P Cummins hickey

How classy.... Prick.

 

[Woody15]

Didn't need to play at that.

 

[Blue1980]

Didn't need to play at that.

Probably s good example of why he has a test average of 23

 

[Richard Pryor]

Probably s good example of why he has a test average of 23

With an accompanying SR of under 40 you'd think SL would be better off picking another bowler.

 

[Wedge McManus]

You ready to apologise yet 'champ'
This wicket is terrible and it's not at all a contest between bat an ball.

We just got a wicket. My statement stands. Nothing wrong with this pitch. Lyon is going to get a bag here

 

[Sproj]

Certainly seemed unsettled after that situation with his opening partner and gives up his wicket.

 

[Blue1980]

Good to see Cummins still bowling bouncers
