**Official** Australia in Sri Lanka Jan - Feb 2025

[Burgey]

Just a reminder to our SL friends that Matt Kuhnemann has been to the University of WA and has been cleared of chucking.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

He's been knocking the door down according to Smith. Pity he hasn't scored a 50 in his last 10 games (5 T20, 4 one-dayers and a shield game).

I wouldn't have picked him either fwiw, but this is just dumb. Only one game in a relevant format is not even close to being enough of a sample size to prove anything good bad or indifferent

 

[Silver Silva]

Australia's batting from No.5 looks really delicious for our spinners

 

[ataraxia]

No way should Konstas play lol

Wait, Angelo Mathews is still a thing?

Yeah but he struggles to make it to the crease in time these days.

 

[Silver Silva]

Wait, Angelo Mathews is still a thing?

Yep he's actually averaging more than Steve Smith in the last 3 years , 1700+ runs @46

 

[Gnske]

Ah yes the best part of overseas tests, a clean test shirt without a giant Toyota badge ruining it

More of that please

I wasn't asking about my favourite curry mate.

Do they only sponsor home tests or something?

3 spinners?

We’re doomed

2338 @ 47.7 this decade, still going strong

With the way he moves around these days it’s a shocker.

 

[Gnske]

Do they only sponsor home tests or something?

Thankfully yes, was same with Alinta. Our home test shirts have been legitimately vile since big sponsor badges became okay.

Toyota still looks hideous but at least its not the Alinta / Tim Paine era.

And Josh Fkn Inglis?

What’s the main drink in SL as our selectors must be pissed

Tea , for alcohol it's Toddy a type of palm wine, and Arrack which is basically coconut fermented whiskey

 

[ashley bach]

That's a junk first over

 

[Gnske]

Watching that over after a summer of Bumrah is sad. It's like going from watching Manuel Ferrara jackhammer some beautiful lady like a council worker breaking ground on a parking garage to watching your grandparents get juicy with it.
