    Make that Mahela. Onya Harris. Thank the lord we have a proper new ball bowler. Even if he may only last one more match. It must have been a lovely knock. Worthy of a better outcome but what a relief.

    He would have been much more likely to gift them fours with rotten four balls on the legs.

    He's on. It's a worry. Edit: Very good partnership. I hope Copeland splits them.

    I like the look of him as a bowler and unlike Hauritz, he's played stuff all first class, so I hope he's given a couple of series at least to develop. That's kind of unfashionable thinking though so it's unlikely.

    How Much Impact Can A Captain Have?

    I don't know if this is an apocryphal story but apparently before the World Cup final, he threatened them with the law if he could see that they were 'underperforming' deliberately on field. Now that's a skipper.

    I haven't been watching this morning, how have the fields been set? He's a very inexperienced young bowler, I can't imagine much has 'gone wrong' for him. He ain't Warne.

    Ok, you meant the other way round? I haven't got time to go back and read your posts now, but I will later.

    So you find this match boring. I don't.

    ***Official*** Australia in Sri Lanka

    And I suggest that we don't want (and rarely get) a perfect balance between the two in every match. That sounds like a fantasy expectation. I think it makes for absorbing cricket watching batsmen struggle for every run. It's just as interesting a spectacle as watching flourishing shot making...

    Why should they all do that though? This is what I don't understand. Why should they all deteriorate at the same rate? Nothing wrong with the odd dodgy pitch. I remember Adam Gilchrist:wub: in an interview saying that the innings he was most proud of was a score in the mid-40's on a really...

    Wastemen etc

    You are harsh. This team doesn't have a coach and their Board is a shambles (at any moment, someone might insist that Sanath has another farewell tour). I don't think any of them actually want to be skipper. They've hardly got a Darren Sammy out there just dying to do it.

    I dont' see what the problem is. Why should wickets all offer the same thing as regards batsmen and bowlers? There has been some truly dreadful and lazy shots in this match, batsmen ride first class too often. Edit: Are you referring to Herath? I thought you were.

    I feel like I'm watching tail-enders and just hoping for a few more runs before they get out.

    Mitchell Marsh threw his bat half way across the WACA trying to slog Stuart Clark out of the ground.

    I'm fuming about the shot from Punter. WTF is he doing?

    Stuff the batsmen, they should send Lyon in. He could slog a quick 20 with his eyes closed with this sort of debut. Yay, a run. Get the lead up through leg-byes anything will do. Punter you ****ing idiot!!! He'll try the pull shot in his bloody coffin that bloke.

    So the question is... which team wants to lose more? Mwhahahahaha. The Aussies could crash and burn here for about 80.

    Both batting sides are fragile, but the Lankans are at home for heaven's sake.

    I hope they do, lord, it will make for fun viewing.

    But that's thanks to Watson. I don't think any of the batsmen were game to stick around to face him so took on Lyon. It's called bowling in partnerships and how often do the Aussies manage that?
