And Shane Watson has pulled out the photos he must have of the selectors and finds himself back in the team - just when we all thought he was done!!

Openers gone for Oz. Credit to A mathews for spin tactics.

What a dumb shot by Finch! Bet he wont like seeing that one again...

[Jenko]

I've never been a fan of maxwell but his last two innings have been great to watch. The lad can certainly bat that's for sure!

That's some knock by Maxwell!

Lehmann's pulled a master stroke by sticking Watson at 6. The Aussie batting did look top heavy but now looks balanced and really dangerous.
Was hoping Sri lanka might win this so that the Aussies play SA in the QF but no chance at chasing this.

After yesterday's performance I don't fancy our chances against anybody in the quaters...Well apart from England maybe

Better hope AB wins the toss. Massive advantage batting first this WC and no pressure of chasing.

Think England will be facing India if they qualify though.

Agreed for SA to win the world cup AB has to win every toss and bat first. And our batsman have to pull their finger out when facing quality bowling. Oh and it would be nice if Steyn found his venom again and de kock needs to start moving his feet.

Lots of 'ands ' in all that so im not holding out to much hope the cup will be arriving on South African shores any time soon.

Have you seen Sangakkara's lid... It has an extra piece of protection for the back of the neck. Is this Masuri's answer to the problem?

What do you think?

[jwebber86]

What brand of helmet is sangakkara wearing is it still ayrtek?

[six and out]

No it's a Masuri

No it's a masuri the new series. Has some sort of padding on the back of it under the shell protecting the neck.

All happening here at the SCG Dilshan cutting loose!

It's the Masuri 'Stemguard', the images were released a couple of weeks ago and are on the Helmets thread I believe.

[six and out]

Yep definitely looks like the finished version of the 'stemguard' that is in the helmets thread. Will be interesting to see if it catches on.

Would love to see dilshan and Sangakkara bat for a while and make a game of this.

Looks better than mooney,s gorget construction
