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

Haven't watched live. Any reason where coming into the last 10 overs and sangha has only bowled 3?

 

[NotMcKenzie]

But if you debuted a baseballer in the World Cup final and that was just his action then it's fine?

Clearly they aren't anticipating this. Who should be first to try it out?

 

[ashley bach]

Asalanka 99*(111) @SillyCowCorner1

History repeats, this time it's Mendis 99*(111) @SillyCowCorner1

Whoever makes the next ODI final.

 

[ashley bach]

Excellent century from Mendis in difficult batting conditions.

South Africa will surely destroy this Aus team in the CT

Haven't you seen their bowling recently?

They still have Rabada and Jansen to come back in, don't they? Honestly think that's enough unless the really bad Jansen shows up.

 

[Chin Music]

We've been calling it out for years lol. He's been blatantly chucking it in the last few BBLs

Fair enough. With respect, I only tune into BBL from time to time and can't say I've followed the threads on here for that too closely.

 

[Spark]

this logic is absolutely correct and yet everyone calls me out when i get my panties in a twist about sandpapergate what's the go folks

surely saying "this logic is absolutely correct" in reply to a TJB post should give you pause

 

[Molehill]

So did the pitch get easier or are SL above par? Seemed like a mature, patient innings that England are completely incapable of playing.

 

[King Kane]

A great ton from Kusal Mendis and another another good knock from Asalanka to get SL to 281 but they were up against a BBL style bowling line up.

The Aussies should be a good chance of chasing that total down with Head and Maxwell back in their batting line up but they still have JFM though.

 

[honestbharani]

Lol so you can debut a bunch of baseball pitchers for an international game, win it easily, then never pick them again.

But if you debuted a baseballer in the World Cup final and that was just his action then it's fine?

Define "normal" action for someone on debut. I dont think the umpires would be silly enough to allow that.

No. TJB in his sole discretion (with the aid of a protractor) can call a no ball at any point.

 

[Molehill]

Are bowlers actually aware that you can't get an lbw when it pitches outside leg?

That's just a shocking review.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

There's no such thing as a normal action so theoretically it can be anything since no one has seen you bowl before.

 

[the big bambino]

I think they'd have seen blokes bowl before they got to international level. Anyone who started outright pegging them from their first game would've been drop off to the baseball diamond.
