***Official*** Australia in Sri Lanka

That would be enough to defend on many tracks, tbh.
Yeah; but lets not forget that Sri Lankans are brought up on these conditions and despite their capuliation in the 1st innings it won't be wise to just rule them out completely with still so much time left in the game.

That was poor from Clarke. I was enjoying his intent but it'd come off the back of using his feet and getting to the pitch, not getting on one knee and pre-meditating a swipe against the spin.

There's been a lot made of how the pitch is playing but it has had nowt to do with any of the dismissals in this innings.

It's no coincidence that most of his dismissals vs. spin are when he doesn't do what he normally does. Think the change in angle messed him up though.

Clarke is awful at playing the sweep yet for some reason he just keeps playing it again and again.

Anyways now shouldn't be long before we get rolled over...

Hmm. The glove is definitely disturbed there, but I'm not completely convinced it wasn't just due to it touching his pad. Most probably out though so I'm happy enough with it.
