    Chappell brothers vs Waugh brothers

    Greg was better than Steve, Ian better than Mark. Pretty easy call.

    Yeah the average Australian here beyond Murali trolling was when they first say Kuhnemann "bowl" was "hmm....that isn't right".

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

    Series ratings: Head 5 - did his job I guess. The aggressive starts helped the guys below him capitalise, even if the contributions were middling on the scorebook. Khawaja 9 - no Bumrah, no problems. Showed he's still arguably Australia's best slow wicket player and finally got that double that...

    2024–25 Australian Domestic Season

    I feel like Edwards since he came good has suffered from James Faulkner syndrome where his batting probably isn't quite good enough to be Top 6/7 at Test level and his bowling perhaps not quick enough to sustain relevance at Test level. It also doesn't help that we're in a golden age of seam-up...

    Well, Sri Lanka at least fought. Mendis still out there gives them a glimmer, but he'd need to go hard to get them to something defendable. Connolly's selection remains pointless but thankfully Kuhnemann and Lyon have bowled well enough for it to not matter too much.

    I've heard it's down to uncertainty over frames and accordingly some uncertainty about where it hit the batter. I don't really understand it either.

    Did Lyon **** Adrian Holdstock's wife? So many umpire's calls against him that really should be out.

    Slug! Surely he's ahead of Marnus now when Green's fit?

    Urgh, this looks like bad Starc.

    Yeah if these two survive the day Sri Lanka are favourites.

    Think Australia have been letting things drift a bit too much. This pitch still looks pretty good for batting after about over 25, but I have no idea if that will remain the case tomorrow.

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

    I'll give Sri Lanka credit, they've batted pretty well since Chandimal was dismissed. I don't think Australia have bowled poorly and they're definitely creating chances, but I think these two in particular have rotated the strike quite well and are keeping the scoreboard ticking. Don't really...

    I'm pretty sure half of Sri Lanka's cricket team end up in Melbourne. Arnold and Sanga seem key exceptions.

    How is it that Sri Lanka are 3/64 and still have had a shitload of luck?

    Imagine Mathews playing that sweep and it falling in the outfield away from the fielders, but Chandimal produces a booming drive that manages to pick out a fielder. Pretty horrible luck.

    This might be a one brings two or three kind of wicket but these two are looking quite comfortable right now.

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

    Pitch is starting to play some tricks so this should be a big lead, but who knows what Sri Lanka might cook up. Their batters seem to have an annoying tendency of producing an ATG knock out of nowhere and any 4th innings chase over 100 is going to cause some nerves.

    Bizarre 5-fer. He has legitimately bowled well today but was quite poor yesterday.

    Murphy died for this?
