Maharoof missed one of those tricky straight ones from Roy. A lot of test nations play Roy like he is Meg Ryan, hard to deal with.
Roy is close to being a test match player. His timing is near on perfect. Just like when he became a proper one day player in 2003. Mind you his second wicket was rubbish, Ol’ Marvin would be crook as Inzy after a ten k run.
Vaas and Maharoof both did the whole, I really thought I had that covered how the f*ck did that bowl me backwards glare. Oh the humanity.
Jayawardene was about as plum as you can get, but he was so badly balanced he clearly thought it was a bad decision.
Two of my favourite tail enders are playing in this game Murali and MacGill. Both of them swing without thought or skill. Just the way a tail ender should play. None of this Gillespie sh1t.
Murali played an amazing hook shot/swipe/hopeitdonthitme type shot. Poetry.
Sri Lanka all out after a Fernando swipe, they aren’t the ice berg the world of cricket were looking for.
Lee with 4 wickets. Hmmmmm. Indeed.
Austalia is enforcinig the follow on, here comes my Laxman flash backs.
Sanath decided in the second dig to play a considered innings built on quick singles, a straight bat, and well within himself. Then he got to the middle and slogged. Oh how we enjoy real cricketers. Ofcourse then he went out. Shame.
Bambi (Vandoort) has a good average so far in test cricket. However, the boy is timid and he looks like he is going to be destroyed in this series. So he will probably come out and make a ton tomorrow.
Well that’s all from me on the couch. Back to you in the studio.
Ow bout Vandort doing the unthinkable? “Bambi” hasn’t had a chance to play the big guys till now…well, he did play two test matches against England in England.Rain dance would be a good option for now, I’d say.
