The Perera partnership Since the last match, in which four Pereras played, Sri Lankas selectors performed a Pererectomy - cutting out Thisara from the squad completely, and removing Angelo from the XI. Patrick Peterson Color Rush Jersey . The remaining Pereras did still manage one excellent moment of synergy in this match. A Dilruwan delivery took Matthew Wades glove on its way to keeper Kusal. Umpire Aleem Dar ruled not out originally, but Sri Lanka reviewed upon Kusals insistence, and the first dent in Australias chase was made. On the scorecard, Wades dismissal read caught MDKJ Perera bowled MDK Perera.The futile swing It is sometimes said tailenders are not good enough to nick the best quicks. In this match, Suranga Lakmal was barely good enough to aim his bat swing in the correct direction. His first ball from Starc was full and fast, and caused Lakmal to back away and play a panicked drive. The ball missed bat by roughly one light year, but, happily for Starc, found the base of the stumps.The latest chapter in a year-long misfortune Kusal Perera has been unlucky in 2016. He had been incorrectly suspended from cricket for five months. He has been bandied about in the batting order since his return. He had rough decisions go against him in the Tests, and, in Pallekele, even a review failed to prevent his dismissal. Kusal had got forward to defend a Travis Head delivery in the 31st over, but was given out when ball struck pad. He reviewed that decision, and although appeared to have inside-edged the ball onto pad, nevertheless had the original decision upheld.The stroke Dhananjaya de Silva has been perhaps the most graceful batsman on show through the series, and though he only hit 34 on Sunday, he delivered the matchs most delectable shot. Having already hit Mitchell Starc through point in the fifth over, de Silva leaned into a wristy onside flick when the bowler overcorrected and went at his stumps. Fielding at midwicket, Adam Zampa let the ball slip through his fingers, conceding the boundary that the shot perhaps deserved. Josh Rosen Black Jersey .Y. -- Knicks coach Mike Woodson said Wednesday that J. Budda Baker Jersey Cardinals . Aaron Harrison scored a 22 points for Kentucky (6-1), which has won four in a row following a Nov. 12 loss to current No. 1 Michigan State. Julius Randle overcame a scoreless first half and added his sixth double-double in as many games with 14 points and 10 rebounds. http:///...ardinals-jersey.html . Datsyuk will miss Tuesdays game against New Jersey and could be sidelined longer, while Cleary will likely miss at least the next three games. Its been an injury-plagued season for Datsyuk, who has suited up for just 39 games. Mitchell Johnson has revealed how his long-standing friendship with Shane Watson made a rocky start when the allrounder stuck the future Australia fast mans head in the toilet during a wrestle at the Cricket Academy in Adelaide.Back in 2000, the Academy was very much an alpha-male environment helmed by Rod Marsh and featuring tutorials from the likes of Ian Chappell, John Inverarity and Dennis Lillee. Johnson told the story of how that years intake had a habit of watching the Australia soap Neighbours together, although this seems mainly a pretence for the bouts of wrestling that took place in commercial breaks.Every night wed pile into the common room and watch Neighbours before dinner, Johnson wrote in his autobiography Resilient, which released on Monday. I was always a bit willing as every time there was an ad break there would be an all-in wrestle on the floor until the show started again.In one wrestle I was dragged through the door and into the bathroom by a heap of guys and somebody pushed my head into the toilet. I wasnt impressed and the red mist descended. Somehow I managed to break free and I grabbed whoever it was by the front of the shirt as I got up and someone grabbed mine.I raised my right fist and he did the same.. Larry Fitzgerald Color Rush Jersey. Then we looked at each other. It was Watto. I think we both looked at each other and thought: nah, Im not going to hit him, hes my mate, and put our fists down at the same time. I cant say I wasnt angry. It took me a few days to get over it.Johnson tells the story by way of full disclosure after discussing the confrontation between Michael Clarke and Simon Katich in the SCG dressing room in 2009. Ricky Ponting told a similar tale of going toe-to-toe with Paul Reiffel on a flight early in his Australia career.The irony of all this of course is that Watson and Johnson went on to become close friends within the highly competitive and, at times, isolated world of international cricket. So much so that when Johnson sought further explanation for why both had been suspended in India in 2013, he was told by then coach Mickey Arthur the following:Mickey told me I spent too much time with Watto and that was the real issue here. I was told we were too close, like we were a faction or something. I am sorry but you cant help but be close to a bloke you have been playing cricket with since you were 19. ' ' '
