***Official*** Australia in Sri Lanka

[SamSawnoff]

He has looked the part, but I can't quite believe what I've seen.

Punter's catch took me back about 10 years with him.

 

[MW1304]

Wow. What a catch to get your 5fer.

PEWS could not have been more right.

 

[adub]

like shelling peas!

Well done Lyon. Well done Copes, Watto, and Harris (and Mitch you did ok too). Well done Clarkey.

We can get rolled for 50 and still win this.

 

[Spark]

Wow what happened here??

Dire batting by Srilianka or good bowling by Australia?

Both. Bowled and fielded and captained superbly but not 105ao superbly.

Two screamers in an innings is good.

 

[TumTum]

2 awesome catches by Ponting, wow.

 

[Spikey]

He has looked the part, but I can't quite believe what I've seen.

Still can't really believe the Mathews and Herath shots tbh

What's the weather forecasts like?

 

[TumTum]

Hughes to get 300.

 

[Daemon]

Yeah as much as he deserves his fifer, he's been helped along by some **** shot selection and brilliant fielding.

But that's thanks to Watson. I don't think any of the batsmen were game to stick around to face him so took on Lyon.

It's called bowling in partnerships and how often do the Aussies manage that?

 

[adub]

As fantastic as that was, it isn't going to be any easier for us batting. Every run is going to be earned from here on.

 

[Spark]

Lyon's FC average under 30 now.

 

[MW1304]

Fabulous bowling by Watson (from the highlights). Ripped the heart out of them with that.

I dunno know. They did bat like morons towards the end. If we bat like sane people we'll be fine. Not that we do that very often lately

Last 10 ovs 18/7

:/

 

[Prince EWS]

Lyon's FC average under 30 now.

Someone nearly picked him in CPL before he'd played a single game for South Australia; that would've been pretty inspired. He didn't end up doing it though.

 

[MW1304]

Beer looks gutted.

 

[Spikey]

Still can't get my head around the Nathan Lyon selection. He has 14 FC wickets. 14.

yeah but he has 11 T20 wickets. 11

Opening with a spinner may put a dent in our bid to bat like sane people btw

 

[Spark]

Last 10 ovs 18/7

:/

Third time they've done this in a few months. Cardiff obvs, but at Lord's too (to a lesser extent)

 

[andyc]

Watto's bowling average now under 30. WAG.

 

[Howe_zat]

Oh ffs. Can't Australia be **** for just a little bit longer? It was so much fun for the rest of us.
