Sri Lanka v Australia - 1st Test

[Jim05]

Hawke eye reckons the ball is hitting top of bail but enough doubt so umpires original call stands NOT OUT

[Jim05]

Lead over 250 now
3/88

[Jim05]

Clarke given OUT a few balls later, Aussies are appealing the decision, surely its missing leg

[Jim05]

YES, decision overuled, clearly missing leg

[wycbloods]

Highest ever chase here is 96. Would think we could win this one pretty easily if we can get past 150 in this innings.

[Media Park]

Clarke hits his fifty.

Clarke 50*[54]
Another reckless T20 type innings
The team that is perceived as playing more reckless in this Test Match is murdering the opposition
This is the best way to bat on a very bowler friendly deck
AU 3/96

[wycbloods]

Clarke doing his reputation of being a good player of spin no harm here.

Hussey's first innings score looks pretty good now.

Dont know about that, Sri Lankans batting was amateur at best, some of their shot selection was diabolical

[rod_rooster]

Michael Clarke's footwork is something to behold.

[Media Park]

Welcome back Rod!

It's an thing of beauty when he's on song, no doubt!

5/110.

Clarke and Hussey gone.

[rod_rooster]

Seriously, how the f*ck can that be given out. If there is any doubt it surely can't be given. It has to be absolutely obvious. What a f*cking joke. The umpire in charge didn't want to guess so referred it to the TV umpire who did guess. What a joke.

Agreed, plenty of doubt in it, NOT OUT

[wycbloods]

This game won't see Tea on Day 3. Cracking pitch for test cricket.

[wycbloods]

Haddin gone for a globe.

6/112

[rod_rooster]

Scott Muller is probably watching thinking that if only Brad Haddin was around in his day he wouldn't have been the subject of a Warney sledge. Can't bowl, can't throw might have been followed by can't bat and can't keep if Haddin had played with Warne.Seriously Haddin needs to be tapped on the shoulder and told to stop embarrassing himself.

That begs the question,
Is it the pitch's fault or the poor batting display and technique?
Hussey and Clarke have shown in this match that if you put your head down you can score runs, i dont think the pitch is as bad as some are making it.
