The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

Blow up the team

Sri Lankans took a bit of a breather before the last ball. Maxwell took offense, told them to bowl already - Jayawardene told him to gently caress off. Last ball was almost wide, Maxwell continued to air his grievances during the handshakes. Much fingerpointing and quick cuts to avoid us reading lips.
Aussies come out of the sheds and Wade (I think) continued the discussion with Finch eventually pushing Jayawardene away.

Mahela is a loving sook, I love how he told the umpire to gently caress off when he told him to hurry up and bowl the last ball.

Also the guy bowling the last over mouthed off at Maxwell after the last ball. It looked like Warner and Wade were saying something to him when shaking hands.

Be good to play a real team in tests rather than Sri Lanka who are only good at this slap and tickle rubbish.

Maxwell said something to the effect of "hurry the gently caress up", Mahela told him to gently caress off, Thisara gave it to him when he missed the last ball then after the game had finish and they were doing their handshakes it kept going. Mahela was sooking and Maxwell kept arguing, then Wade got in on it and they sorta had to break it up. Was a bit like a footy argument really.

Gonna be a lot of sookery, should be entertaining :cool:

Could be either, was hard to see. Assume it was Maxwell cos he was yelling at him, doubt Mahela would say that to an ump.

Don't care so much about Twenty20 but have lost a lot of respect for Jayawardene, as soon as it started raining he was desperate to get off the ground yet again.

I'm pretty sure any player in any bowling side in the world would have done the exact same thing in that situation if they knew they were ahead on d/l

They're watering the pitch now, not enough rain I guess

33 minutes to bowl 5 overs should at least incur some De Villiers-esque fines.

Good entertainment after the rain.

So when it rains you lose overs due to a magical cutoff time but you can proceed to bowl the overs so slowly, that you could have gotten the whole game in anyway. I love cricket.

Great 'Dhoniesque' innings from Marsh should be enough to secure his position in the team indefinitely.

I have to agree, this whole series (especially the tests) I wished we were playing South Africa again.

Does the PM even pick his/her own team? If so, I can imagine Howard and Hawke picking theirs but presume any others in the last 30 years left it up to someone else. Although Rudd probably would have just because he micromanaged everything.

Shane Warne is writing a blog post on what is wrong with cricket australia. He was originally supposed to post it at three, but now he's posting it on his site in half an hour and it will be in two parts. I'm pretty sure it'll just come down to "these are my friends, give them every job, pick all of my team mates in the Australian team, I will play in The Ashes"

As a captain to his players? Yeah he was. He did a lot to turn an average side and some players with potential into something special that became the greatest team we ever had under Waugh.
