*Official* Sri Lanka in Australia 2019

[NUFAN]

100% should be opening with Perera. He's Jayasuria incarnate

I could manage this team better

Yep. This should be the opening partnership.

Kusal and Dickwella.

Honestly this is really tough to be excoted about it.

 

[quincywagstaff]

Gunathalika sold his partner up the river there. Mendis can actually bat so he should have sacrificed himself

Mendis didn't help himself by just jogging when the first throw at the stumps occurred.

 

[quincywagstaff]

Having Shane Warne in any commbox ruins everything.

**** me.

Under the right circumstances he can be good but with sycophantic dolts like Howard there it's just lame banter most of the time.

 

[mr_mister]

Sycophant is such an overused word. Howie's genuinely nice

 

[Burgey]

Fmd this is abysmal.

Feldspar Summer in the offing this year

 

[vcs]

Is it just me or do SL get to tour Australia/NZ/both every year but never ever seem to compete.

 

[quincywagstaff]

I'm sure he's a nice bloke but him talking about his colleagues being the best in the business (think he said that earlier) and how they're sporting legends (as if viewers don't know how how good they were) is just fawning that creates a self-indulgent commentary atmosphere.

 

[quincywagstaff]

This is probably a worse batting performance than Sunday; don't think Oz have bowled that well and it's not like they're chasing an impossible total and yet they might not make 100 again.

 

[Spark]

Was really thinking of going down to the 3rd game based on the strength of the squad. But probably won't bother now.

If Australia bat first you'll still at least get to enjoy yourself

SL are selfish batting first and sucking this bad

 

[quincywagstaff]

MCG match would usually be a big turnout due to large local SL population but if anything would put SL fans off it would be these matches so far.

 

[aussie tragic]

Hard to believe Sri Lanka just beat Pak 3-0. Not holding out much hope for any of the 6 T20 games to be competitive

 

[Burgey]

Despite how rubbish SL are, I reckon that Perera straight drive first ball tonight will be the highlight of th.e summer

In fact I've mixed up the series, the game here is against Pakistan. Hope lives yet

Nah I think with Warne its like eating fresh garbage. Most of it tastes awful, occasionally there'll be a fresh banana in there, but then you'll chomp down on a handful of ciggie filters immediately after and once again be reminded that you are in fact eating garbage.

 

[TheJediBrah]

SL shouldn't have been allowed to bat first

 

[Burgey]

Malinga’s physique roughly resembling mine atm.

That’s not a compliment btw

 

[NUFAN]

Top runscorers this series

Sri Lanka 101
Warner 100
Sri Lanka 99

I didn't even know this was on today until I saw like 5 Sri Lankans queuing for the bus in the cbd on my way home from work. I then guessed the second t20 was on. Looks like I'm not missing much.

 

[Burgey]

Doesn’t look or sound as though there are many there at all tonight either. Worrying signs for CA.
