*Official* Australia in Sri Lanka 2016

He chucks

I'll throw in a wild card, and play Dilhara Fernando. Only Sri Lankan bowler - who is not injured - can bowl reverse swing. Still he can it at 135 clicks, and more accurate than used to be. And will make use of variable bounce if any. 5'5" fast bowlers are not test class.

That would be a pretty stupid thing to do, guess thats why you're not a selector

Jeez I admit I didn't know Dilhara was still playing! Be like a trip down memory lane

 

[TheJediBrah]

speaking of 5'5 fast bowlers what ever happened to Kulasekara

he had his moments

Yeah he's lost it as a bowler. His batting is arguably better than his bowling now. He is 34 though, tbf.

Retired from Tests didn't he? When he realised it was pointless being a Sri Lankan test paceman who isn't Vaas.

 

[Starfighter]

Word from cricinfo is that Vishwa is playing.

Very dry pitch (as expected)

Edit: SL batting.

 

[Prince EWS]

Yeah, was always the mostly likely. Asitha is only really in the squad for experience I think, and they didn't put any of our cheaty batting allrounder options in the squad to begin with.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Sri Lanka batting first. Very big toss to win one feels.

 

[morgieb]

Sri Lanka win toss. RIP series.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Nah Holland will take 15 wickets and we'll win by an innings

 

[ajdude]

robelinda already having a meltdown on Twitter haha.

 

[vcs]

LOL Sri Lanka might as well start their innings a couple of wickets down. Or send Pradeep and Herath up the order to swing blindly until they get out, looking at how long their openers are lasting.

How good is the video he posted of Chokedulkar in the 03 WC final?

 

[Starfighter]

Hah!

 

[Burgey]

How often has a wicket fallen to the very first ball of a test match? I can barely think of an example I've ever watched live.

 

[ajdude]

hahaha i knew we'd miss something with Foxtel showing the end of the CPL match
