*Official* Australia in Sri Lanka 2016

[Daemon]

we also barely looked like taking a wicket in that series (until the last test)

India were just giving Lyon pity wickets at that point. Australia knew that which is why they made the wise call of dropping him for Agar right after.

 

[Gnske]

This would hurt if Australian Cricket wasn't already dead.

 

[Spark]

Well that ended quickly.

 

[Starfighter]

Well thank God that's over.

 

[Flem274*]

Pfft who needs Murali anyway

 

[morgieb]

bring back watson

 

[Burgey]

Sensational trolling by Lyon to ask for a review there.

 

[morgieb]

Didn't even wait until I finished uni to collapse.

 

[Spikey]

I am a fan of Nevill, but at some point a keeper averaging 20 is not going to cut it at this level.

I dunno, we're still rolling with a guy at 6 averaging 20.

I'd be pretty annoyed if Nev gets dumped before he gets a chance to cash in at home like the rest of these dicks (he's only got to play 5 innings at home so far, and the Adelaide knock was about the only time it was a live situation). He's basically either coming in at 5/500, or not batting in, or coming in on the back of a massive collapse where all hope is already gone.It's pretty crappy (all this this applies to a lesser extent for Marsh as well)

haha come on russell you don't hope Australia come back stronger at all

 

[Xuhaib]

Herath now has 8 fourth innings 5-fers, overtaking Warne and Murali, who both had 7.

Herath>Warne,Murali objectively.

IN atleast SL he is as big a threat as Murali which would be insane to think when Murali was playing.

 

[hendrix]

13 wickets bro.

He needs to be in porn after retirement IMO.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Even "Wade can't bat" got a half century in India.

And they were bigger bunsens than SL.

Yeah I know, however there comes a point where a wicketkeeper/number 7 is expected to rescue collapses. Bairstow a decent example, he comes in at 120-5 on a fair few occasions and changes momentums with quality knocks. Nev never has, and that is an issue.

Why aren't Australia using three spinners? I'm sorry but Hazlewood has done nothing this series, Zampa would of been some resistance

Just try and refute this you so-called experts.

Ah yes, the old "OUR BATTING SUCKS? LET'S DROP SOME BOWLERS!!!!!!!!!111!!!!!!" trick at play again.

 

[Jono]

Come back when the cricketers you bang on about average over 50.

I guarantee you Kohli gets laid over 50 times per month.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Don't think that Nev should be dropped, but just think Wade's batting has copped a rough go on here.

Not that his keeping has - in another world, Wade is playing as a specialist batsman having not kept since 2006.

it's easier to rescue collapses when you have ali>woakes>broad under you than when you have a nine, two tens and an eleven in starc>lyon>haze>holland
