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

[Coronis]

Welcome to the 200+ Club, Ussie View attachment 45001

You can get statsguru to output the exact same info ftr, just so you don’t need to go through the trouble of making your own sheet.

Good day for Australia. Good knocks from khawaja smith and inglis. Hopefully kamindu plays well tommarrow

Kamindu gonna seperate himself from Jaiswal by doing even better against us. (Great enough to be great but not Perera match-winning great, hopefully)

 

[halba]

need wait kamindu play, kamindu is SL bradman

if he gets out and they close up shop tomorrow below 250, this may be the worst SL team for 30 years.

 

[Bahseph]

I think Sri Lanka are in a weird place where they probably have a better pack of fast bowlers than spinners. Prabath is obviously number one and he literally bowls all day but they dropped Ramesh Mendis for being leaky and the second and third spinners got pasted here and neither bats.

 

[Prince EWS]

I wonder if there are records associated with SL's four bowler attack here. Are 154 overs or 654 runs the most against a four man attack?

I know but I enjoy the time and researching mate.

We'll get Halba onto it straight away!!

Seventh time Smith out in the 140s.

Seventh time Smith out in the 140s.

An obvious weakness

 

[Shady Slim]

Think the extra 10-15km/h that Lyon and Kuhnemann are bowling at compared to the SL spinners is making a big difference here.

yeah this is it really
plus fatigue and concentration issues arising from baking in the field for two days

 

[Starfighter]

They started at 09:45 this morning. I don't think you can start much earlier than that

Sunrise 6:26 AM, sunset 6:18 PM. Even the normal end time of 5-5:30 is pushing very close to sunset. Trying to make up time at the end is doomed to failure.

This is such a blindspot for the semi casual fan. And why batting first on good tracks is so important. A lot of people don't realise the difference it makes having to bat after spending 2 days in the field

Sri Lanka would have not caught those catches anyway

You disappoint me, as if you’re not subscribed to my every post.

Sorry for the late response.

500/7d (119 overs) Pak vs SL Lahore 1982

 

[Burgey]

the second and third spinners got pasted here and neither bats.

I suspect they'll be batting twice in this test.

0.3 doesn't lie

 

[honestbharani]

Higher SR is more important. So obviously Sachin > Smith

So definitely the record for most runs against four bowlers, with daylight second.
