Well well well, the cricketing world appears to have turned on it's head. ;)

Australia whittled out for 120 and England bowl out West Indies for 47 and win by 10 wickets. :lol:

The power has shifted, there is a new world leader....8D :P :D

Then again it could go to New Zealand or South Africa.

The Southern Hempishere continues to dominate :D :D

Well done to Murali getting 500 Test scalps. I wonder if the kids at the ground were given the opportunity of going and see Murali brake 500 wickets when he got closer?

Anyway it must be a concern for Australia that they are getting low scores in two straight first innings.

I know I will be told and this is the casual bystander mentalitly that they are winning and who cares, but it is how they are winning and if they are not firing it can cost them.

If Sri Lanka take note of this they have the chance to hammer home this point.

If you are winning by a couple of runs or winning by a few wickets in hand chasing not many, would you say we are winning and who cares?

Finally the international cricketing public are seeing what they should have been seeing for the last year or so - KASPROWICZ IN FULL FLIGHT. It was beyond me why the Aussie selectors wer perservering with uncappable bowlers like Williams, Bracken & the out of form bowlers in Lee & Bichel. Who needs Glenn McGrath?

you would think that they would want to play Katich, a better 4d batsman than Symonds - more consistant too...

So are the boys both on 501 then?

Also, I wonder if this could be the downfall of Andrew Symonds' Test career... I mean I like the guy in ODIs and I know its only his second Test, but I can't see him having a long and inspiring Test career to be honest. He just doesnt fit the bill, and theres plenty of people waiting in line.

I`m surprised to see Symonds in ahead of Katich. Didn`t Katich just make a load of runs against the Indian spinners?

Sri Lanka 53 for 4, this is starting to look like a three day Test I`m afraid.

SL 7/92 at the end of the day. Good fightback by Australia after being out for 120. If they get a lead, it won't be much. C'Mon Aussies!!:D

Looks as though its going to be a 1 innings shootout, and i don't think there are many who can match it with the aussies when it comes to that....

Don't judge Symonds too harshly. 6 isn't too bad on a day where one batsman scored more than 18. Hayden might have been a bit lucky but batted well to get 54. The ball was seaming all over the place.

The game may go for longer than you think. With dry weather the pitch will dry out and the batting will be easier.

Is it just me or is anyone else really glad to see pitch conditions really favaourable for bowling?

I love seeing tests in conditions like this. It really sorts out the good batsmen from the flat track bullies.
