Debut for Musakanda.

No Chatara , no Mire , no Nathan Waller ....Streak what are you doing

You not really expecting Mire to play Test with those hoicks across the line, are you. What are you expecting from him, a quick fire 25?

Oh dear

[Mr Twig]

And there it is

Chakabva had no idea

We have no answers for Herath

[Conant]

The lack of match practice clearly showing on Chakabva, who outside Sean Williams should be our best player of spin.

How the next in Musakanda deals with Herath will show us whether he's the real deal on or not.

[Mr Twig]

Lets see what Musakanda is made off. I would've had Burl in this spot

[Jemisi]

Tari up and running

[Jemisi]

Bad.

[Jemisi]

How was that conclusive evidence?

[Conant]

Don't understand the commentators. So because there was a sound and also because all the players went up, so definitely Musakanda hit it? Why was there no deviation, seeing how close the ball was to bat? If using afore said summation, its doesn't count that Musakanda - an inexperienced player who wouldn't have yet learnt the tricks of hiding guilt - strongly feels he didn't hit it?

Looked very close and its possible he was out but I think Sri Lanka once again got the big boys decision.

[Conant]

Aah.., there you go, Musakanda indicates to the umpires that the sound they had was his bat turning in his hand. He's adamant!

So annoying and especially angry at the stupid Alastair Campbell .
