***Official*** Australia in Sri Lanka

[TT Boy]

Yeah...

Get the spinnners on.

What Herath? Jesus. The last test played here, Chris Gayle scored 300 odd at nigh on run-a-ball. All the talk before the series by the Aussies about what a tough place to tour and all that was complete bully. Sri Lanka has no bowling attack, its fill your boots time, inflate your average time.

I was looking forward to this as well, looks like it's going to be a day of chase ball.


Ha ha ha unbelievable.

Cant believe Mendis isn't playing, no team has managed to face him all that well in the first time they have faced him in a test. I know the Indians worked him out but our guys aren't that smart.

First test against England - 1st Test: England v Sri Lanka at Cardiff, May 26-30, 2011 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo
First test against Pakistan - 1st Test: Pakistan v Sri Lanka at Karachi, Feb 21-25, 2009 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo

All on roads mind but the first time county cricketers faced him, they quickly decoded the fact he needed to go out the ground. Maybe it's harder to pick Mendis with the white ball (?) but give him a red ball and the guy is going all over the park.

What Herath?

Yes.

 

[Jayzamann]

Gah

 

[centurymaker]

Watson

 

[Spark]

[Spikey]

That'll teach Watson for not slog sweeping/cutting/pulling

 

[TT Boy]

Yes.
