2013's-Almost-Over Test: Australia v Sri Lanka @ Sydney

[Bradesmaen]

In terms of batting ability he's at least his equal. Wade averages 40 in first class cricket with 5 100s and 36 in tests. Haddin averages 39 and 35.

Exactly, hence why I said not even close (Wade being greater than Haddin)

Brain explosion from Clarke. Suicidal running

Clarke just didn't want Hussey to show him up again in a test match and anyway Clarke protecting his precious batting average has higher priority over the team and its players

 

[Belnakor]

how long until Herath gets Wade out?

 

[BluesMan]

how long until Herath gets Wade out?

Soon

Err... Stab yourself for me please

Are you being serious? Or am I just not able to sense your sarcasm?

Oh god......

Something I've never got is why the field position is called "silly point" when really where they are positioned, it should be called "silly cover"

?

Thought it's because they're silly to field there...lol!

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

How well does DRS work if the camera over the umpire's hat is down? i.e. the straight one at the bowler's end

 

[Simple Jack]

I don't think he's asking about the 'silly' part, just pointing out that the position is where a cover would be if he came straight at the batsman not where a point would be (not square enough).

Yep thats what I was referring to. In my eye it's a 'cover' not a 'point'

 

[juzzo]

Johnson is such an ATHLETE

 

[Ducky Tie]

Wade edges it past slip.

"That's a fine shot."

Thanks Bill

 

[Hodgepodge]

What did Clarke make?

 

[smoovy]

When was the last time that 6 of the top 7 of the Australian batting order were left handers?

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Johnson is such an ATHLETE

'You'd love to be hit by Johnson wouldn't you!'

 

[Simple Jack]

That ad shits me but jeez that would be a good set up for backyard cricket.

 

[Hodgepodge]

Some good quality control going on in the Coca-Cola sandpit.

 

[Simple Jack]

I reckon he's gone, just on the reaction.

LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!

Edit: WTF? It's a massive no ball on the first frame so we see 30 more replays of it being a no ball.

 

[rdhopkins2]

No ball!

 

[juzzo]

no ballololol

 

[DamoESP]

So do they lose their review here because it was a no ball??

 

[BluesMan]

lol no ball

 

[Andrew Mc]

No-ball, and he missed it anyway... nice waste of a review.
