What's the score?

by eowyn Fri 22 Feb 2008, 06:32

158-5 off 45

by skully Fri 22 Feb 2008, 06:42

Geez, we're sh!te. Can't expect our bowlers to keep digging us out of these holes.

by horace Fri 22 Feb 2008, 06:45

can we "rest" a few of the Agraders like unit, punter, Piggsy!!!, clarke (gets runs but very slowly) paris even slower and esp Roy and play some B graders - pommybasher, hodge, mcgain, nicky etc...god even give fleas a go...he can't be as sadly out of form and negative as this lot

by skully Fri 22 Feb 2008, 06:50

Pretty funny that Roy has been sh!t since he was talked up as an IPL giant and then got the big bucks (even though it's only been 2 innings Wink

)

Mebee the IPL guys realised hence "only" bidding $350K for him. The younger Huss seems to be the way forward.

7-184. What a god-awful effort. Is the wicket low and slow? I bet Jayasuriya smashes 50 in 8 overs.

Huss said it was hard work with the pitch two-paced and slow and thinks Aus can defend 184.

SL are opening with Jaya and Perera, latter is playing just his 2nd ODI.

by SG Fri 22 Feb 2008, 07:37

Jaya gone first ball.

by Nath Fri 22 Feb 2008, 07:37

Got him yes! Piss off you're out! Very Happy

by SG Fri 22 Feb 2008, 07:40

Jaya's last few scores,

10, 11, 3, 26, 7, 27, 12, 0 and 0.

by SG Fri 22 Feb 2008, 07:41

And he isn't contributing much with the ball either.

Right. 184 is so much undefendable than say 203?

by SG Fri 22 Feb 2008, 07:43

Nath,

You're a Victorian I think. MCG is producing quite a few low scores. Is the pitch being relaid?

by SG Fri 22 Feb 2008, 07:44

15 balls have been bowled and not a run is scored. And this is from SL who were so famous for their power hitting at the top in the days of Jaya and Kalu.

all the wickets are drop-ins. so we either need to go back to not using drop-in pitches, or get better drop-in pitches.

by Nath Fri 22 Feb 2008, 07:47

another one bites the dust!

by SG Fri 22 Feb 2008, 07:47

Cheers, Nath.

But why do they've to use drop in pitches? Is it because MCG is used for other sports as well?

by Batman Fri 22 Feb 2008, 07:47

So how much did Ambani pay for Sanath? Why did Ambani bid for him in the first place?

The footballers whinged about the hard cricket square for the pre-season/early season games.
