Sri Lanka v Australia - 1st Test

[Jim05]

Harris out LBW not offering a shot, weak as piss
8/236

[Jim05]

Copeland with a 4 first ball in test cricket, juicy leg side full toss

[Jim05]

harris out lbw

Was missing the stumps and would have been given not out if referred, why didnt Huss ask for review?

[Squids]

Why do we suck?

[Jim05]

Copeland out for 12
9/251

[Grahaml]

250 on a lively deck is a decent total. Hopefully Hussey manages to get a few away and get us closer to 300. The bowlers will need to make early breakthroughs though. Sri Lanka have a decent couple of bats but they get frail pretty quickly.

Sad how we seem to assume first innings below 400 a dismal failure. Shows how many roads we've had of late and how many people around just don't understand the game.

Didnt say it was a dismal failure and yes the pitch was difficult to bat on but a fair share of our wickets were thrown away by stupid and impatient batting. Whatever happened to leaving balls instead of waving the bat at everything. Hussey has shown how to grind out an innings, nothing wrong with being 3/150 at stumps, much better than being rolled inside a day

Sri Lanka would not be wanting to chase many in their 2nd dig.
IF we can scrap out 280 it could well be competitive with a good bowling effort

Is it though? Some people are saying its lively other say its not bad to bat on?

Differance is the Lankans get reverse swing happening and the Aussies are utterly incapable of making a ball reverse swing

[Squids]

Come on Huss get a ton, hang in there Nathan.

[Hondo]

I have been a Hussey critic in recent years but it's great to see him pull out a big score for us again

[brod]

gotta challenge that

[brod]

Cmon give us an over at them

[brod]

Harris the only dismissed batsmen not to make double figures...lots of starts, only Hussey went on

It's acting like a day 4 deck. Shit is all over the place!

Poor batting by Hussey
He should have hung around long enough for Lyon to get his first run in Test Cricket
