***Official*** Australia in Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka are doing a brilliant job of making England look incredibly good. England beat this Aussie team 3-1 in their own back yard! 
Without Murali, Vaas and Malinga, Sri Lanka have the 2nd worst bowling attack in International cricket, with only Bangladesh being worse!
All their bowlers average 40 odd, it's pathetic at this level!

I wouldn't put it this way, but yeah...., Sri Lanka's bowling is not impressive at all.Sri Lanka are doing a brilliant job of making England look incredibly good. England beat this Aussie team 3-1 in their own back yard!

The leave by Watson gets better with each viewing. That ball was aimed right at the stumps. They just need to keep doing that.

But at least India have Zaheer waiting to come back and Ishant can be decent. Whereas these are Sri Lanka's best bowlers playing in this series!
Their spinners are OK to decent and they have good depth in that department, but seriously, the fact Maharoof is still in and around the team as a bowler says it all! He looks like a 76 year old trying to bowl!

You might as well say "but Sri Lanka could coax Murali out of retirement" - Zaheer Khan is 33 years old, unfit, and will be seriously struggling to be ready for the Border-Gavaskar series. Plus he's pretty much guaranteed to break down as soon as he looks good again. India need to build their bowling unit around Praveen Kumar.

Love that people are realising this now.

Indeed. Though I'd prefer the win

In place of who through? Surely they won't drop Harris and Johnson and they won't just waste a young talent like Copeland. But its good that Australia finally have some competitions going on among themselves however.

Back into the squad and contention is all I ask. Potential replacement for when Johnson inevitably loses his head

Well there is no doubt about that after the ODI series. He will be in for either Siddle or Pattinson. But can't see him playing for a while though if they others keep performing like this.

I think he'd offer more than Johnson (but then I always think that). The problem with MJ is that is worst is just so bad that it makes his current passable look much better than it is.

Bollinger does not have the stamina for 5 days at this level

Yeah it's a difficult one to decide who should replace Harris when he inevitably gets injured some time or another. The problem is I reckon the key to this bowling attack so far has largely been down to the supreme tightness of the Harris/Copeland pairing. They just complement each other so well. Bollinger is awesome, but there is no denying he can leak a few runs occasionally. He would be a perfect substitute for someone like Johnson if need be.
