I said before I'm not a fan of Pearson and Lerma as a sitting pair, preferring them paired with a Kilkenny or L Cook. However, there are matches where it makes a lot of sense. Today is one of them.
It's like a mythical battle between two elementals: earth and air. That's where the game will be won and lost. When we knock it around on the deck, all they can do sit in their shape and hope we make a mistake. When it's in the air it's a head tennis lottery that will likely break for them in the end.
Have to stay disciplined and not get drawn into their antics in the second half. One that could go either way but if we maintain our composure I'd back us to win it.
