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

[Cleavy]

Guys, throw me a bone on this one, why do you think RH bowlers are more frequently bowling around the wicket to LH batsman? I used to remember this very rarely happening. McGrath would always stay over the wicket to LH and push the ball away forcing edges. You also remove the LBW chances more so.

I’ve never understood it.

probably to do with the angle of the delivery, and players not knowing where their off stump is.

Got plenty of time for Vaughan as a commentator. Really astute cricket brain too.

I don't. He can be astute but he's not that likable and I heard him on Beeb and half the stuff he said just made no sense.

 

[Doss]

Ultimately, I think we all wish we could get to have Atherton and Bumble more than any other English commentators.

 

[Ekomaira]

Fox don't have this years Ashes, channel 9 do.

channel 9?

Chuck in Skull and Tuffers and you're onto a big winner

He has plenty of campaigner in him, love that he was the guy who was able to lead them to victory against us in 05. No easy feat. Aussies at their best and these Poms finally got some serious mongrel about them and got the win. Vaughan was a great leader.

Had alot of help from "Murray's Mints".

 

[Wolfs]

Just get off. Player safety is way more important

 

[Wedge McManus]

Shit I hope he's ok

 

[Pykie]

That was a brutal bouncer.

The short bowlers always have the worst ones, especially if they are quick.

Marshall, Steyn...

****. When was the last time two people retired hurt with concussion in the same innings?

 

[Wedge McManus]

Did the Lankans give him an hia after that blow? He is not looking good at all did they not think he could have a concussion???!!

 

[swanssince2002]

AT least Karunaratane is back out there.

Can forgive the first one, but to leave him in after the second assessment was negligent. Should never get to a third.

Umpires and physio need a think about what they are doing out there

Dunno - not sure it's even happened here with Karunaratna back out there today.

It's not good enough but it's Sri Lanka so who knows

 

[Wolfs]

Poor kid

Copped that nasty one on the back of the neck and couldn't move. Hope he and Perera are ok in the long run.

 

[Wedge McManus]

Australia back on top so the verbals are flying now lol. Didn't take long even the bald Adonis Lyon starting to throw abuse out there lmao. The old arrogance coming back

 

[The Swans Blog]

Seems as though the only way Starc can get a wicket is with a short ball.

 

[Coasters7]

Labuschagne is a classic

 

[Crashy]

What happened to the guy that just retired hurt ? second guy?

 

[Damon_3388]

I know all involved would have had to agree to do it, and I don't like to be "offended on behalf of", but geez that Operation Live show seems uncomfortably exploitative. Is nothing sacred anymore? Is nothing private? Just seems like everything - in this case, a c-section birth - needs to be whored out for ratings, views, likes and followers.

Inb4 "don't like it, don't watch!"

 

[Sammo360]

Starc lol
