*Official* Australia in Sri Lanka 2016

[harsh.ag]

Tough for a Warner/Sehwag type player to change at the drop of a hat though, so much success playing their natural games to suddenly change when conditions are more foreign for them. Never forget what a fish out of water Sehwag looked on those green tracks in NZ in 2002.

All the batsmen looked like that, with the exception of Dravid, Richardson, and Tendulkar. This is something else.

 

[Zinzan]

Yeah, wasn't supposed to be an exact comparison between Sehwag in '02 and Warner here, just a more general one about naturally aggressive Test batsmen. Besides, I haven't actually seen anything but Warner's scores tbf.

Just an aside though, think you're being generous on Sachin including him as one of the exceptions on that tour, didn't he average 23 or something?

Moz gets a bowl. Better late than never.

how far is Chandimal off the big four-Root,Kane,Kohli,TPC ?

I think him and especially Rahane are not that far behind.

 

[OverratedSanity]

These two have really taken it way from Australia. Chasing anything over 250 i going to be extremely difficult.

Australia are screwed and have been since we started dropping sitters a couple of days ago

Speaking of behinds, he can join them once he stops juicing up that huge hot ass of his.

 

[Spikey]

feel like only 26 runs in the last 10 overs is a bit slow

 

[Black_Warrior]

Any particular reason Hazelwood has bowled so few overs?

steve smith is a crap captain

Good ton from the Brudenell man.

 

[mr_mister]

well played, great to see how happy he was.


"he came to the party right when Sri Lanka needed him" is a bit much though, the series has already been won lol

"Youngster", the adjective Julian chooses to describe a 30 year old

Too little, too late.

Jeepers 225 with 4 pegs in hand. How's the deck holding up? Aust a chance of chasing 250-260?

 

[Furball]

I remained baffled at the Aussie (non-)use of the allrounders, especially with Silva at the crease.

I was just going to query this, using Lyon for 30 overs and Holland for 18 when Hazlewood and MMarsh have bowled 13 economical overs doesn't strike me as being terribly imaginative captaincy.

Granted I've not seen a ball of the Test so don't really know what's happening. Just seems odd.

 

[Starfighter]

Give Haze a go with the new ball, for God's sake.

In the 4th innings in Sri Lanka, Herath averages 16. I reckon he's got this.
