Not a lot of money given mind. So we are just getting drizzles. Too bad that for Sri Lanka.

Not fair to judge Sri Lanka, or any other side, based on their performance against Australia in Australia.

But aren't Australia supposed to be a weaker side now without Langer, Martyn, Warne and McGrath and wasn't this Sri Lankan bowling attack supposed to be the most balanced attack they have ever had??

Both might be true and are probably true, but the gulf is too wide between Aussies and everyone else for those statements to really have a meaningful effect on the outcome of the game. I said before the series that it was going ot be a massacre, and obviously I was right.

Sri Lanka in Australia isn't good enough to judge if Australia have weakened or not.

Yup, no one in Australia is. We'll have to wait until Australia start touring again.

And Michael Hussey needs to tour a country except South Africa. He's a batting machine - I am in awe of his consistency. Though I don't see him keeping it up, it is such a fantastic guy to watch...can't wait till he tours. Just noticing, he's a pretty good looking guy too - must get some good endorsements.

Stop trolling Jason.Aleem Dar arrives albeit late while Bucknor fails to appear for the series they were initially scheduled to officiate together....something for other Test playing nations to consider...if they do not like the Officials appointed for a series...just plainly refuse visas or delay their visas under the guise of bureacratic red tape....Other Cricket Boards take note...

When we can't judge a team on the basis of their tour to Australia then what's the whole point of them touring Australia and TBH the Australian pitches are not what they used to be and there is hardly the pace and bounce to trouble the forgien team there in the wickets in Australia anymore.
Agreed , given they (Gods) just couldn't washout the whole of Gabba test on Day 5
and same story here....although suitability of conditions acceptable for play are in the hands of others ....Who choose suitability of conditions at their fancy based on whom they want to benefit from those calls or whom they really don't care about...
These are the same people who are put under undue pressure to reduce overs at World Cup Finals to suit some teams so that they don't get affected while other teams are put in disadvantageous situations to chase under bad weather....
Its a justifiable post ...given strange things like these happen in this day and age...What next ....one of the players being refused visa...

This Australian side is no longer number 1 and I am certain that they will be shown that quite clearly when they tour subcontinent or SA next time around .....

Haha, that's an astounding statement to make. Who, pray tell, do you think will stop this juggernaght and supplant them as the new #1 side?

No it isn't, unless you have some proof. Most countries governments aren't as involved in their cricket as much as subcontinental ones areIts a justifiable post ...given strange things like these happen in this day and age...What next ....one of the players being refused visa...
. That post just sounds like trolling for some confrontation.
