Botham: Well I think the field is absolutely completely wrong. They've changed the field. They've brought the fine leg up. They've put a man out for the short wide long hop. What is going on??

Jayasuriya smashes next ball from Harmison straight into the hands of the man out on the boundary.

Botham's co-commentator: There he is. The man out for the short wide long hop, and he gets it. Well done Ian Botham.

I love when that happens. :)

Oh, lots of pressure here for the skippy, ey?
Gonna let his whole country down now if he fails.
Oh, lots of expectations, fellas.
Come on.
Oh wow, the weight of all these expectations, fellas.
The weight of the country, chaps.
Only 2 million supporters right here.
Depending on Shaun.
I thought it's forty-two million? Makes sense with the population of SA, anyway...

Still great fun. :D

I thought he meant the number of South African cricket fans/Pietersen haters. It did seem a bit odd that Sangakkara had such intricate stats memorized...

How on earth did they get away with that?

That ball to Waugh at the end was an absolute snorter, you could see his butt clamp up!

I remember watching that game, unbelievable pitch. Shane Warne would've been proud of that Ian Bishop delivery.
