I again say the home side will win.

PowerBug

And RooBoys, i'm waiting for my new picture. It better be worth the wait.

Test starts today here's hoping a game not ruined by rain eh?

Australia have made two changes Ponting in for Khawaja and Siddle replacing Harris...

Hearing that Sri Lanka are looking to bring in Ajantha Mendis and Rangana Herath

PowerBug

C'mon Mendis. He's a gun! Unique bowling style which is very effective in the short forms, hopefully it can be used in the longer form too.

Cicjose

match delayed by 1/2 hour due to poor drainage (wet outfield)

SL win toss elect to bowl

PowerBug

9 times out of 10, you bat first. On the tenth time you think about it, then bat first.

Sri Lanka just broke that rule by choosing to bowl.

Sri Lanka team
TM Dilshan*, NT Paranavitana, KC Sangakkara, DPMD Jayawardene, HDRL Thirimanne, HAPW Jayawardene†, AD Mathews, RMS Eranga, HMRKB Herath, RAS Lakmal, UWMBCA Welegedara

Australia team

watson got lucky 2nd ball

hughes not so much his technique was horrible

PowerBug

Ponting pretty much at three again, coz of that early wicket. :P

Cicjose

we've been saying for years that hughes should not be there because of his technique (it was on show on the replay)

PowerBug

Khawaja to open from now on. Hughes has one more chance....

In the second innings.

8-6 Suited
