[Hit4Six]

SL: attapattu + vaas

Every time the batsman comes first except with Eng and Aus.....are you a fan of Lee and Harmison's batting, and the exceptional bowling of Gilchrist ad Vaughan?

Harmison's batting does make me laugh though, and I imagine Glichrist's bowling is quite entertaining too.....
