Hungry Jaques LOL. Pay that. He has certainly made a meal out of the Sri Lankan attack. See folks this is why they pick New South Welshmen .

Fernando's a disgrace.

All of this promise that his countrymen see in him and he lets them down.
He loses confidence as soon as one ball gets hit. Doesn't stick to disciplined lines. Seems to just roll his arm over instead of pounding the ball in....and then he fields like that! I've seen him do it so often. Like so many sub-continental pace bowlers, he doesn't like it when the going gets tough - see Prabhakar, Akhtar, Zaheer Khan.
Sri Lanka can't afford to have players not standing up, everyone has to be counted - and Fernando, you stuck on the khazi every time!

DAY 1 STUMPS
AU 3 FOR A MILLION
HUNGRY JAQUES A TON
SIR MICHAEL HUSSEY ANOTHER TON

The concern must be the low scoring series failures of Hayden and Ponting.....

The big question is will LEE/CLARK/JOHNSON/MACGILL get a bat in this series.

This from the BBC site.

"Sri Lanka messed up two decent run-out chances to remove Jaques when the Victorian was in the 20s."

[locky801]

Well done to Jaques yet again, and the only way he is getting out is throwing it away, anyway for those interested, yes there were others out there batting today

2ND TEST
DAY ONE
NZ 1/84 LUNCH
NZ 6/184 TEA

CUMING in hospital retired hurt 48
Future SA opener Lou Vincent made 33
Dale STEYN the man who has replaced Shaun Pollock these days 2/39
STEYN took 10 wickets in the first test [selectors got it right ..] and he is quick + a star
POLLOCK 420 odd wickets at 23 is finished ?

HUNGRY JAQUES Kallis
About 9000 runs at 57
About 220 wickets at 31
Thats Sobersesque statistics

Another SA win and a 2-0 lead likely

[mal]

NZ 8/187 Bad light stops play.
That man Dale EIN Steyn 4/42
He is awesome.

[smithy]

Let's hope CUMING and STEYN have children who get married and hyphonate their names...

[the joker]

they said that farveez maharoof is not going to bowl for the rest of the game!!!!!!!!!

[stan]

Malinga is bowling well today. Looks like he is bowling to a plab with Hussey....probably about time, but my theory on bowling with a plan is try it before the bloke hits a ton.

[NFC]

Unfortunately there is no evidence to back it up but I've always thought Steyn would be a star.

still not overly convinced with his action


Anway at lunch and rain break

Aust 3/392 the slaughter continues

[NFC]

Malinga's action is as dodgy as they come.

[stan]

Malinga's action is as dodgy as they come.

What are you talking about all Sri Landan actions are fine. Its just the big bad aussies are mean!
Thats right.....

Serious though, didnt take too much notice of his action. Just thought he bowled better today. Still though clarke and Hussey continued to dominate.
