***Official***Match #14- Australia vs Sri Lanka- October 16th-Lucknow- #BottomDwellers

Yeah I never bought the "Smith in permanent decline" narrative before but if he keeps getting pinned LBW like that then I just might. Those are bad dismissals.
Like late career Ponting despite Ponting not being anywhere near as good off his legs as Smith. Was absolutely painful watch him trying to play innocuous straight balls through midwicket and getting out

I don't think Australia would be able to chase more than 260 , they look very nervous out there , this might be close still. If only we had another 60 runs

Well Stoinis can't bat and you never know with Maxwell. I don't trust Inglis against any kind of decent bowling so it's fair to say its up to these two. Marnus in particularly

Amazing to think Stoinis is still being selected off the back of his 146* vs. NZ back in 2017.

I mean he hasn't done anything notable since has he?
That’s unfair…. He did have an impromptu photoshoot in the big Apple which went viral…

Surprised Welalage still gets picked as he’s no good
In the Asia cup which was played before the WC, he got 10 wickets @ 17, most of his wickets were huge players ie. Rohit Sharma , Shubman Gill , Virat Kohli , KL Rahul , Liton Das , Babar Azam ..

He's only 20 years old,in a team that is some time away from emulating Sri Lankan sides of the past, he will only get better with time , he's definitely got potential.

Wellalage needs to rethink his method for getting wickets here, short and wide don't seem to be working
Asia Cup was held in Sri Lanka right?

Well from what I know about Sri Lanka it does aid bowlers who like to skid the ball on..

Wellalage seems to bowl the same pace every delivery. He needs to watch a guy like Mitchell Santner who varies his pace and flight .Obviously that will come with experience I guess.

I'm all for quick running but when you need 3 an over and wickets are the only way you're going to lose...
