***Official*** Australia in Sri Lanka

Wouldn't mind this partnership going for another 10-15 overs if it is as this rate, hah.

 

[Spark]

Will happy give up 10 more runs to waste the rest of this session tbh

 

[adub]

God that was boring

If Mathews is happy to just take the single on the last ball of every over I reckon Clarke might be happy to watch him score 200.

That'd probably take the rest of the Test tbh

WTF is Matthews doing, Dilshan should declare on him right now.

 

[adub]

precisely. This is just stupid, but if the Lankans are happy to lose the series 1-0 then we'll be happy to win it 1-0.

 

[Himannv]

Should be throwing the bat at this a bit more although perhaps he's just trying to get the most out of this as he can before the last wicket falls.

We'll take that with a pat on the back.

 

[Himannv]

I think the message from the dressing rooms will probably change things.

 

[Spark]

Haha so that was a magnificent waste of time then.

Think some of those handshakes were more sincere than usual, tbh.

45 runs added, almost all a session wasted.

 

[Spikey]

MJ gets as many wickets as Copeland

 

[adub]

Pretty good session for Australia. Wasted all but 15mins of batting time in the session and kept the lead down to 157. Unless we fold badly we'll have a bit of a lead come stumps and then we just have to bat up to tea to put the game to sleep. The big if is obviously will we bat with as much patience as the Lankans managed.

 

[Daemon]

Wait wtf? Lakmal hits two boundaries in an over only for Mathews to shield him completely from strike for the next two when SL are clearly in need of quick runs to attempt a win. Stupid batting, but good innings from him nonetheless.

Tough opening session coming up. Will Watson open or will they send Marsh up the order?

 

[NasserFan207]

The Harmison!

 

[adub]

Wtf was that?

 

[Spark]

!

9 from the first ball. That's about half an hour of SL batting gone right there.

 

[Riggins]

Man Mark Waugh is funny.

0 for 9 off 1 ball, not a bad start.

 

[adub]

Need to watch this. Bit of swing with the new ball.

 

[morgieb]

Haha 9 runs and only 1 legal ball has been bowled
