*Official* Australia in Sri Lanka 2016

International Regular
160-8 when over 100 runs needed is not a chance to try for a win.
I flicked on at the start of the partnership, 60 odd overs to score 111 runs isn't a mammoth ask.

To not even look for a single is pointless cricket. You're not gonna survive 60 overs so at least ask the question.


Gerrin Sri Lanka, excellent to see after we took the mick really.

Go on boys!!! Well done for coming back from getting flogged in all test series we have played recently!!again fantastic from Herath who shows his class again..also well done to Mendis who I have said for a while, will be a star for us in years to come.

Whatever it takes!!!
Very reminiscent of their come from behind win against India in the first test of the series last year. Hope they go on to be better than they were that series though.

Three times SL have defended a total of less than 200 and all three times its Herath who's delivered. Love you, Fatty.

Great, great test match. Had it all.

Once we lost the 8th wicket, the plan was to bat until rain or bad light stopped play, like on 3 of the first 4 days in this Test.

Yeah, any criticism of the way the Aussies played this is just plain wrong. They did the right thing and put in a mamouth effort to get as close as they did. Kudos.

Edit:

But ****ing go Sri Lanka........awesome!!

That Mendis innings has to rank very high not just among the ones played this year, but all time imo. No one else found batting remotely easy on that deck... Add the situation of the match when he came out to bat and the fact that the pace at which he scored gave SL enough time to win it and it's truly incredible.
