Aus Vs SL 1st Test Brisbane

[MundaPakistani]

Why would they leave out Malinga for Maharoof! Especially when cricinfo says this for the pitch: Australia were sent in on pitch with green tinges. I'm pretty sure they will regret making this mistake

the thing with Mahroof is that he tries to hit the pitch so he will be able to seam the ball on a green pitch while Malinga doesn't use the pitch as much f and relies heavily on swing and pace( still don't think that it is the correct decision)

0/39. Hayden 32* (So selfish! Doing all the scoring. :regular_smile: ) Jaques 7*

[Cricketics]

lanka to lose on day 4 as we might get to see some poor weather

[MundaPakistani]

by dropping Malinga SL have made a disgusting attempt to kill the prestigious culture of extreme pace and reverse swing hence now i am rooting for AUS.

[Donny]

0/56. Hayden 36* Jaques 16*

:hysterical::hysterical: "We'll try to be positive" brigade opts to take the field with an aim to strengthen their tail, deny their best bowler the last use of the surface, all because of slightly overcast conditions.

[Cricketics]

lol i pity lankans really. why did they put in aus.. haha poor chapz.. now face the inning defeat with a follow on as a bonus..

[Donny]

Murali into the game! Catches Hayden. Out for 43 to Vaas. 1/69.

[Cricketics]

Punter IN....

[Donny]

1/82. Jaques 31* Ponting 4*

[The Outsider]

The only way to get Ponting early in the kind of form that he is in, is by having Malinga and Murali bowl in tandem. Funnily enough one guy is not playing and the other not bowling.

I still cant believe the morons dropped him for the stoopid fack Greatroof :angry_smile:

I still cannot believe they won the toss and decided to bowl. They said they are going to play tough cricket, not afraid of pace and bounce but they opt to bowl. Naseer Hussain did this few years ago and got a thrashing. It says the mindset the Lankans are in playing the Aussies. Plainly put their batsmen were afraid to face the Aussies on this pitch.

[Cricketics]

trying to be tought and be oversmar.. this time they would have to pay.. and murali is in now.. and crowd is on their feet.. wow aussie aussie aussie oye oye oye

[Mr. Wicket]

If Jaques keeps this up, it'll be the Sri Lankan bowlers who'll be afraid to face him on any pitch. :D

[The Outsider]

Fernando thinking he is bowling on a 15 yard pitch.:hysterical:

[Mr. Wicket]

And now he brings up his 50 with a superb pull shot off Fernando. Awesome!

[Cricketics]

Jaques has 50 now.. whacks one and reaches 50 in style 1/121 Aus, ownage has begun

[The Outsider]

Fernando just whispered in Murali's ears, "it's a 15 yard pitch" and Murali obliged.
