[AirWolf]

9 of our 11 fielded players today, have first class centuries.

Brilliant Review by Vern. If memory serves correctly, he's done that exact review previously. Ball hits glove but glove is off the bat handle...

Yup, good spot

Nahim: "Here's the Cricinfo commentary from Philander's 2014 review against Australia: this is one rule that he knows inside out, for some reason. "This is a sensational review from Philander. I don't think he can be given. He is not holding the bat when his thumb is hit...What a moment. Well done, Big Vern for such awareness of the law and the circumstance.""

Yup, good spot

I remember watching that game and thinking "WOW that is an amazing review"

Sri Lankans morning. Some cameo batting by Parnell and QdK, and they're likely to get to 450.

 

[Creag]

Our bowlers can learn something from the mornings bowling and the Sri Lankans will be in heaps of trouble.

 

[Creag]

The wannabe band :/

"404 Error: Declaration Not Found "

Same with 403: Declaration forbidden and 405: Not allowed."

Bowled out for 426

 

[Dan C]

Bowled out for 426

Now let's see if our bowlers can do some damage :twisted:

 

[Agent_Smith]

I reckon 140 all out but we wont enforce the follow on.

Watch this space.

 

[AirWolf]

So, it is 426 - Upgrade Required for Sri Lanka. How apposite! Personally, I suspect the blue screen of death is a more likely upshot when their turn comes to bat, but we shall see.

 

[Baxteen]

lets hope there is no follow on. not becasue I dont think we can bowl them out. but because I wanted Hash to make how much in each innings? and he made how much?

Mark my words. 8K runs for the great Hash coming up in this game.

We won't need 400-500 in the second innings, I don't believe. And that's what we'll need to have for us to justify batting as long as it takes for him to reach that landmark. He needs over 200, I believe.

EDIT: 201.

 

[Creag]

Light roller used. Incoming batsmen don't want the pitch breaking up.

Let the fire works begin!

 

[Creag]

Going to take a big effort from here...

 

[Dan C]

Philander to Karunaratne, OUT

 

[Ho3n3r]

Philander to Karunaratne, OUT

Bowl them out for 60, bowlers still fresh, send them in again.

 

[Cius]

Some rain forecast for this weekend so hope we actually get to see the result! What a great partnership by Amla and Dumminy though. Great test cricket. Still, the Sri Lankan's look dead out there. Some really basic dropped catches that have made it so much easier for us.

 

[Neoprod]

Parnell is getting it through...De Kock is taking them shoulder high.
