*Official* Sri Lanka Tour of Australia 2019

[halba]

Pretty good bowling effort in the 3rd innings, for just a minute there we had the opening bowlers bowling some good areas and extracting just enough movement to nip out early wickets, then Dilruwan came on and kept the pressure on, I think if we had a better 3rd seamer and a more able container for a spinner this match could have gone a lot differently

double failure for labushank and harris###

 

[Burgey]

Khawaja has hit around six or seven hundreds. Two of them are the most memorable hundreds (vs SA at Adelaide and vs Pak in the UAE). When he hits a hundred they're usually really important.

This summer he's been woeful though.

So he’s our mark butcher. Awesome.

 

[aussie tragic]

This will now take the highest ever run chase to win (418)

 

[aussie tragic]

Geez khawaja is a great looking batsman when set

 

[Spikey]

the competition is like, Ian Blackwell (but leg spin) and Nick Knight, or something

He’s a ****

 

[Burgey]

Bertus > Khawaja

 

[Burgey]

**** you Khawaja. **** you in the Anus. Where was this when it was needed vs India? You are as soft as whipped ****

With 40 overs to go today, Aus should go for 119 runs of 28 overs ( to make 500 lead) and have 10 over crack at SL tonight

I'd hope not. Unless there's rain around that would be dumb.

I reckon this is close enough for a 'called it' with 515 run lead and 13 over crack at SL (Aus just scored a little faster than expected)

Good stuff Uzi. Good to play yourself back into form.

It's supposed to rain all tomorrow afternoon

Apparently there's a good chance of rain tomorrow.

Does depend on whether Australia value an extra 60-70 runs or a wicket or two in 10 overs. I can't see Sri Lanka chasing this but it is worth noting that if Sri Lanka bat the whole two days they probably win. Yeah, probably won't happen but I feel I'd wait until tomorrow where you set 600 in two days and basically only allow two possible results.

But if wickets fall, it is worth it especially given it's gotten cloudy again.

 

[Spark]

tbh i would be kind of surprised if significant time was lost tomorrow. the storms typically don't hit until late afternoon, especially if it's 30+

 

[Gob]

Time to ***

 

[mr_mister]

Google says it's gonna storm in Canberra from 1-6 on day 4 and 5

That leaves at least two morning sessions to burn through them at least

 

[aussie tragic]

And Travis Head now averages 51.00 in test cricket

Last time SL got a 1st innings lead v Oz in Oz was at the Gabba in 1989.
