this is an anti-climax really but i'll take this

 

[YorksLanka]

Won't be long now..

Yeah but ABdV's batting gets one of those posts too:

"Seriously, how do you bowl to this guy at the death? 145km/h+ yorkers from left arm around being smacked for six over deep fine leg" etc.

hey I gave you an answer. You sweep him for six.

 

[YorksLanka]

Congrats Aussies, maxwell was the difference today..you take it on the field , we'll have the fans and the commentary box..

Just hope that Chandimal isn't out of the rest of the tournament, if it is a hammy he almost certainly will be.

 

[Swingpanzee]

phew that was a tight contest, relieved we won.

Jeez Starc's difficult right now. It's not just the accuracy & late swing of those yorkers that make him tough, it's the height & the trajectory they comes from.

 

[Jono]

Fun match to watch.

 

[nevermind]

eh

If he ever got this confident with a red ball he would be one of the best bowlers ever. A brilliant one day bowler already.

Faulkner won this for Aus. Changed the game when he came on.. SL were coasting before.

 

[ankitj]

Good game. Well played.

 

[Zinzan]

Starc is Australian bowling atm.

The rest is just a support act.

 

[SkyBlue]

Starc looks unplayable right now..Almost as much as Malinga was unplayable a few yrs ago.

I'm sure he'll make an excellent test bowler sooner or later (likely sooner), but it's his one-day length that make him stand out above his contemporaries.

It's nothing new really, he's been excellent for ages now.

Just realised he has 5 4-fers and 5 5-fers in just 36 innings. That's just ****ing insane.

Yeah he was the best coming in already, but nothing like being on the world stage to prove it to everyone I guess.

It's been said before, but Starc is about as close to Wasim Akram as it's possible to be.

been such a jammy run chase. since when did Aussie wickets turn into such roads anyway? Its as though the series against India never got over.

I think they panicked in Sydney this year when England lost the match in 3 days last year. Clearly a rational decision to go so far the other way.

He kinda ballooned out for awhile tbf (When Benchy said he was the best in the world and I co-signed, actually) but he was always gonna bounce back
