Good game

Can't fault the guys too much. I like the fact that they came back after that opening stand.

Competitive cricket is all I want to see not laying down and dying.

Good captaincy Pollard, well played Hope, Hard day at the office Cottrell.

Come harder next game. Not bad.

Anytime we lose it is a bad game. I hate to lose close games it is really bad for my nerves.

Good captaincy Pollard

And I thought good captaincy was the missing ingredient. Now we have good captaincy and we still losing close games. My only problem with Polly is his penchant for moving players after a dropped catch or mistake in the field.

I have no problem with that I'm not going to leave you low on confidence, in a high traffic position, to drop another one. Especially if your not one of my better fielders

I think it depends on the player. Some relish another chance..some want to hide. Sometimes they have no business being in that position in the first place.
All in all a disappointing start to the day

You've got to be kidding! They've been in Sri Lanka THREE WEEKS. What do they need, six months? Stop making excuses for not being good enough.

There was a previous game when King dropped a catch on the boundary and Pollard immediately moved him to another fielding position. Guess what? King then proceeded to take a catch at the new position smile

That low confidence thing is a double-edged sword though. Arguably moving a player who just dropped a catch can push his supposedly low confidence even lower.
