Australia vs Sri Lanka, 3rd Test, Day 2: Notes from the Boundary

  • Mike Hussey really is the hallmark, the epitome, of the Test batsman in this sort of form. His judgement, his ability to rotate the strike, to attack, defend, read the situation, bat with the tail, make him a batsman for all to aspire to.
  • 316 may look decent after being sent in... but not on this pitch. I'd say we're at least 100 behind being "OK" and ideally we need far far more.
  • And Mahela and Sanga, who once put on over six hundred here, are currently in the process of demonstrating that. Tomorrow, I fear, will be a long, long day.
