Asalanka's technique was good enough to be practically the only batsman to master the conditions today. Really great ton.
It was an odd looking Australian team but I suppose justified for the CT coming up. I'm not sure where we're going to get any decent starts if we're relying on Short and JFM as openers. I don't think our best CT team can fit more than one of them in the XI. So you might as well go all the way and leave both out. Maybe Short still has some hope of making it as LO international but I think our best XI would be Head, Inglis, Smith, Labuschagne, Carey, Maxwell, Hardie, Abbott, Johnson, Ellis, Zampa.
The bowling is pretty good, has 7 options but missing international quality without the big 3.
