Chaminda Vaas | 16 | 2 | 43 | 3 | 2.68 | 78 | 6 | 0 | 0 | 3 |
0.2 to MJ Slater, seaming in, pitching on about the middle stump, struck in line with middle and off, would've hit off stump, and that didn't take long at all. 0/1 6.3 to JL Langer, pitching a little short, Langer with a very unconfident shot, pushing tentatively, edges straight to the first slip, he's is a gone. 9/3 8.2 to ME Waugh, awfully played down the wicket, spectacularly gathered by the bowler, Waugh misjudging the length, Sri Lanka's having a party and everyone's invited. 16/4 | ||||||||||
Nuwan Zoysa | 13 | 2 | 38 | 3 | 2.92 | 61 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
1.4 to GS Blewett, rolling his fingers over it, off cutter, short of a length, into Blewett's knee roll in front of middle and off. Did someone say Calcutta?. 4/2 18.5 to SR Waugh, quick but wide of the off stump, Waugh playing a late slashing cut shot, awful amateurish rubbish, top edge flies to the first slip, the one-man-team is all out. 40/5 24.5 to SK Warne, another short one, Warne decides to go for it, falls into the most obvious trap in the world, it had flashing lights and loud sirens, straight down the deep square leg's throat. 60/7 | ||||||||||
Muthiah Muralidaran | 25.1 | 4 | 63 | 4 | 2.50 | 118 | 7 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
23.1 to IA Healy, and there's numero 6 before lunch, Healy coming down the pitch, missing the shot at the pitch of the ball, bowled or stumped, it's your choice, Australia's dual teams policy working a treat. 59/6 59.6 to JN Gillespie, ripping off spinner, Murali really put some work on that one, into the pads in front of middle and off, caught shuffling behind the crease. 167/8 61.2 to CR Miller, inside edge into the pads, bounces tamely to the short leg, easy catch, not a lot of emotion displayed. 171/9 67.1 to RT Ponting, coming down the wicket to defend, misjudging it, good catch for Murali reaching in front, quite a lame way to get out. 188/10 | ||||||||||

20.2 to RP Arnold, no shot offered, thrusts the pad outside the off stump, Venkat loses his rag and gives him, at best it was just clipping the off stump, but if you don't use your bat you leave yourself open to that sort of stuff. 69/2 20.6 to MS Atapattu, props forward jumps off pad/bat to short leg. 70/3 55.1 to RS Kaluwitharana, played around the ball and takes the stumps apart. 197/6 66.3 to M Muralidaran, . 234/10 | ||||||||||

22.3 to JL Langer, cuts back in kept a little low? took an inside edge? onto pad and given lbw. 49/2 24.2 to ME Waugh, tries to cut away chops onto the stumps. 49/3 46.5 to CR Miller, going for the swipe over the mid wicket, inside edge drags it onto the stumps. 99/7 | ||||||||||

15.2 to MJ Slater, caught on the backfoot in front, they call that plumb. 37/1 27.6 to GS Blewett, sweeps bobs up off the form arm and the appeal is given yay. 49/4 33.3 to IA Healy, turns back sharply cramply healy even as he tries to defend drops from the bat onto the stumps. 58/5 | ||||||||||

5.2 to ST Jayasuriya, garbage shot, trying to flog it over the wide mid on area, top edge flies high for an easy catch for Hayden at point. 24/2 9.3 to RS Kaluwitharana, a thesis is available by examing the mind of Kaluwitharana, coming down the pitch looking for the big tonk to long on, misses at the pitch off the ball, and clips the off stump, Healy was well prepared for the stumping as well. 39/3 15.2 to DPMD Jayawardene, lifting lazily over the mid wicket, Slater is a little deep there and takes the easiest of peasiest catches. 60/4 | ||||||||||
