*Official* Australia in Sri Lanka 2016

[TheJediBrah]

Wait Burns and Khawaja dropped?

itstl

Unless the SSC pitch changed significantly, SL screwing up basically has decided this test already.

 

[hendrix]

So is this a dodgy pitch or just **** batting again?

sounds like very, very good bowling.

 

[GotSpin]

Well disciplined bowling with some wayward shots

 

[YorksLanka]

Wow just woke up and our batting card looks like an international dialling code..not good..pitch looks like its spinning already which must be worrying for the Aussies..

It's definitely not some sort of minefield...but our batting card looks atrocious

 

[Compton]

Just woke up, why did they take lunch one ball in to an over?

Edit: BBC can't do scorecards.

 

[Daemon]

Hopefully de Silva goes beyond the 30s he's been making all series

Prediction:

SL to start their 2nd innings at the end of today

Tight call. But this is looking our best bet for a two day test in ages.

 

[Burgey]

Has Lyon learnt from the past two games and bowling better ?

Not really. There's more bounce here and he's a very effective bowler when there's bounce in the deck.

 

[morgieb]

Possibly out but I wouldn't overturn it with what I've seen.

Is true although his econ is right down too.

 

[Top_Cat]

How have neither of the all rounders bowled yet?

 

[Burgey]

Is true although his econ is right down too.

Seems to be mixing up his pace a bit more which probably helps too.

 

[Dan]

Yeah he's appeared to be bowling significantly quicker through the air, which seems to be working well for him.

 

[burr]

C'mon, break this partnership. What a player Starc can be - World Cup, now this series. If only the rest weren't so useless (my favourite Haze excluded).

 

[Compton]

I don't think I've ever seen Smith be interested in a review, consider it, and then not ultimately review.

He can't help himself.

 

[91Jmay]

Sri Lanka's top order is absolutely terrible. The amount of garbage dismissals in this series

 

[Top_Cat]

God, live my finger was in the air. Good decision.
