Today in History

It is today, 1991, and to make matters worse the location is Hamilton. A young Sri Lankan by the name of Sanath Jayasuriya is making his test debut. What were the odds that 18 years later he would still be playing for his country, though admittedly struggling for runs, and able to command $975,000 for a future 3 year contract?

Not a bad effort.

Youth Torque

Oh to be young, keen and flexible.

Great to see so many of the young fellas making an impression in the last couple of weeks. Experience is all very well but its hard to beat the bullet proof approach of youth - before they have been shot a few times.

You Big Girl!

Bring back the chainsaw. No self respecting fast bowler can continue to celebrate with psuedo ballet moves, I don't care how high he can jump. And the bit where he presents his, albeit well toned, bum to the dismissed batsman is bordering on the "unspirit like".

Try Hard

Perhaps it is not just how you hold your tongue.

Try as he might Stuart McGill just couldn't get much going but if you are winning it doesn't hurt quite so much.

Innovation

Trust those Aussies to come up with a new twist - the big bat!

We now wait to see if the Sri Lankans can sneak a few past such a great instrument.

Special Delivery X

All those arms and legs -its enough to make you loose your focus or at least your depth perception. A cunning ploy which unfortunately didn't work on this particular occasion.
