***Official*** Sri Lanka in Australia 2012/2013

[aussie tragic]

What are commentators going on about when they said SL don't play enough tests so can't concentrate?

SL is playing their 10th test this year, SA & NZ also have 10, while Australia is playing their 11th

Edit: India and WI only have 9

dunno about previously but don't they only have a series against bangladesh next year?

I thought it's pretty much understood that most commentators don't bother to do any sort of research about the players playing or the team. They just rock up to the commentary box every morning and hope people will buy their usual cliche ridden bull****.

 

[Spark]

Holy ****

 

[morgieb]

Man Hughes needs to learn how to run. God both sides have looked stupid here.

 

[Burgey]

Always a run there. Cowan's call too. Diabolical Hughes.

Yep yep and yep. **** has to stop watching the ball.

4 tests against Bangladesh and Zimbabwe....

It should be noted they cancelled a 3-Test series against South Africa because of the SLPL (T20 tournament) and don't want to travel to Pakistan for another 3-Test match series.

 

[Johnners]

Geez that was stupid from phews

 

[Spark]

What's going on? We've suddenly forgotten how to bat.

 

[Ruckus]

lol that was understated commentary if I've ever heard it. almost thought it was a replay at first.

Given they're spectacular minnow munchers they can all get their averages up again.

Well at least Mahela can retire with a test average over 50 and if those tests are away, an away average closer to 40 than 35.

 

[Burgey]

Lol what a turn around. Ridiculous days play.

 

[centurymaker]

the true batsman is coming in now...

another double/maybe even a triple

 

[TT Boy]

Cowan really doesn’t want to average 40.

 

[morgieb]

Ouch. Sri Lanka back in it you'd think.

 

[Ruckus]

Ouch. Sri Lanka back in it you'd think.

Na not even close yet. We are only 30-odd runs away from their score. Maybe once we are 5 down for little to no more runs.

 

[Hurricane]

Well done that man Prasad.

Talk is Dilshan and Samaraweera will retired after this series and Mahela after Bangladesh which I think is at home. Sangakkara may hang around for another year or so.

I would back Bangladesh to beat us the way we are playing.
