*Official* Australia in Sri Lanka 2016

[Burgey]

Today's start of play has really got the thread abuzz.

 

[morgieb]

Holy **** if this is out....

 

[morgieb]

That has to go close to the worst bit of judgement of all time

 

[Starfighter]

Heh! That's awful from Dimuth, sneaky from Nev.

 

[morgieb]

Very high that IMO.

 

[Starfighter]

Review. This'll be close to leg.


Edit: ****, just missing

 

[morgieb]

Think there's too much doubt, though I suspect there's an edge.

Oh it's out. Wow I wouldn't have overturned it.

 

[Starfighter]

No way in the world that can be given. Just no way.

Not that I'm complaining. Just don't see how there was any conclusive evidence at all.

nev's stumping reminds me of how Rad would always try to do that same thing except his gloves would never actually be right over the bails, so by the time he swung down the guy was back in his crease and he would just look like a dick

 

[Top_Cat]

"C'mon boys! C'mon Dutch/Gaz!"

May as well say nothing, for goodness sake. C'mon, Nev.

Also I think Lyon might have found him a method that'll make him dangerous in India.

it's important to know that this is the only time Rad would look like a dick

 

[Prince EWS]

I actually think that might have been pad-bat-pad.

 

[Prince EWS]

Stop. Saying. Mendez.

 

[Burgey]

FMD Starc has been a force of nature this series.

 

[Spikey]

it's because siddle isn't dragging him down imo

Sri Lanka coach Graham Ford: "I was joking in the dressing room and saying he's my all-time sporting hero. He's gone ahead of Roger Federer."

Someone will have to explain the joke to me...

Andrew Fernando: Fireman Herath rescues Sri Lanka from the pits, again | Cricket | ESPN Cricinfo

Oh but well played sir...

In the morning, on day three, he was pivoting very gingerly at the crease, but got through his overs cheaply, even if his balls did not quite have their usual shape...
All through this innings, Herath's willpower triumphed over his groin, and as folks as diverse as Tiger Woods and Bill Clinton may reflect, there is no more heroic victory for a man than that.

[Burgey]

The little Lankans are little. They need protection.

The little Lankans are little. They need protection.

Mathews is pretty big tbh
