*Official* Australia in Sri Lanka 2016

[OverratedSanity]

The "bowler throws ball at batsman when it's played back at him" thing has to stop. It's one of the most annoying, shithead displays of faux aggression in the game. Accomplishes nothing and only shows what a frustrated little dickhead you are.

Prepared to give Starc a pass since his frustration is understandable.

Leave Shaun Marsh alone

I bet you were one of those guys who couldn't help flinching every time.

**** knows why we keep picking either Marsh

Our selectors are sooooo bad

Speaking of Marsh, trying to recall a player of recent times to be in & out of the side more.

Great partnership that. Don't even think we bowled all that badly, they just were steadfast and dominated.

 

[GotSpin]

Pretty impressive parternship.

 

[Zinzan]

Amazing home conditions can make that much of a difference. This SL side with their recent retirements looked like minnows in their away series vs. England and NZ in the last 9 months. Now they're looking odds-on favourites of beating the no. 1 Test side 3- zip.

Lucky we have two all rounders...

 

[Gnske]

Like Henriques' work with the ball on Day 1, pick of the bowlers.

 

[Zinzan]

Are Australia now officially the worst of the 'non-minnows' in Asia/UAE, and I include the West Indies in that?

 

[DriveClub]

What sort of funky selection is this, 2 all rounders in at no 5 & 6, aren't there any other specialist batsmen?

Batting in Asia, last 4 years

^ Tells half the story that, but jeez that's ugly.

 

[burr]

Well done Sri Lanka, great partnership and impressive fightback.

Pretty bad m kay

 

[Furball]

Impressive numbers from England considering no tours of Bangladesh in that time.

 

[Furball]

That's quite the comeback from Sri Lanka though.

 

[viriya]

I don't really get it.. this SL team is not supposed to show this much heart.. they had mastered the "folding meekly" part but now look like they forgot how to..

 

[YorksLanka]

Well done to De Silva and Chandi for digging us out of a hole..good to see the young man get a deserved ton.also nice to have Chandi show what he's capable of..another 100 runs here will put us in a very good position-provided we bowl well!

This just demonstrates how off base our 'take the minnows out' mantra is.
