Hazlewood gets Mendis

I thought I heard a big nick, Mendis tried to review but took too long

couldn't have edged it. nah hit both pads. goneski. spewin he got timed out of the review

2/15

Excellent. Cricket's back on. Need it with Collingwood playing poorly. Good start lads, but the bowling never worried me, lets see how we bat in Asia

yeah that's the question. need to hope our players have learnt a little on spin or just hope Smiddy goes nuts

Bill Manspeaker · July 26, 2016, 04:17:02 PM

flower yeah, more good bowling from Hazlewood and a good catch Voges

3/18

ossie85 · July 26, 2016, 04:19:03 PM

Hazlewood is a true star

GoLions · July 26, 2016, 04:23:49 PM

Hazlewood is my 2nd fav player by a mile, behind Smiddy of course <3

Bill Manspeaker · July 26, 2016, 04:40:50 PM

O'Keefe gets Mathews! huge wicket

4/43

Bill Manspeaker · July 26, 2016, 05:23:27 PM

brilliant piece of fielding by Warner, keeps Chandimal on strike and Hazlewood gets him the next ball

5/67 just before lunch
