***Official*** Australia in Sri Lanka

So will Huss open the shoulders or go for red ink?

 

[Spark]

Should Hussey go into crazy mode or not?

 

[Jayzamann]

Bit too straight.

 

[centurymaker]

i'm backing lanka to score 350+

 

[adub]

You think.....unless we get to 293, this will be the 5th lowest first innings score at Galle (18 Tests)...with 3 of the 4 lower scores losing the Test..

...but then again Aus also has the 4th lowest who made 220 on their last tour and won by 197 runs

Just because it's the same ground doesn't make it the same conditions. It's hard work out there.

Start batting a bit more aggressively obvs, but I don't think he should go crazy. Don't think he should be turning down singles if they give them to him either. Lyon is not ****.

 

[adub]

ah the old "we've bowled really well and have em 9-fer so lets spread the field" trick.

I think it worked once last century.

I wouldn't be giving Lyon the strike for more than 2 or so balls an over tbf. No point in it.

Can't rely on Lyon to survive too many on his debut in such conditions tbh.

Should take most strike and attack.

I don't think 250 is par tbh. Look at our innings, we really needed another top order batsman to stick around like Hussey has done. That's why I'm pretty annoyed at Ponting and how he got out.

It's not par but it's palatable.

Has a good yorker Lakmal.

Don't think he's bowled any better than he did against us though. Plenty of full tosses and half volleys and no more swing.

 

[benchmark00]

Doesn't matter now. Any time for overs?

 

[Cevno]

His heel touched there i think.

 

[Jayzamann]

6!

 

[outbreak]

replays? could see the rope move in the live shot

 

[NUFAN]

Haha, he's touched the rope for sure there.

Surely that's just a 4 though, not a 6 yeah?

 

[Spikey]

Surely a bit of foot on the rope

 

[Spark]

Haha, six!

 

[MW1304]

Touched the rope??
