*Official* Australia in Sri Lanka 2016

[Loose Cannon]

SOK doing his best to make an all NSW attack happen.

Wonder when the last single state attack occurred. I can't think of a recent one.

 

[Gob]

this very tour 5 years ago we were blessed with his commentary. i for one considered suicide

Remember' the Lyon'

Jesus christ

 

[Gnske]

Burns' half century featured five boundaries and a straight six off Siriwardana's bowling.

Interesting sign that he's going to be sticking to the "loft every spinner in the air down the ground" tactic.

 

[91Jmay]

Vaughan is on twitter so we get to hear him a lot. Genuine question.. what else has Sanath done? I haven't really heard anything spicy from him

Calling the Sri Lankan bowling attack the best in the world prior to the England series was itstl

 

[Daemon]

He's a **** and always has been. Still remember how he demanded an ice bath after a bullshit club t20 when he came here. Dumb, fat, bald, ugly ****. No wonder he became a politician.

question to the Aussies, why isn't Zampa in the squad, from the little of him I have seen in t20's he seems to have a lot more about him that Lyon? Is he injured or just classed as a t20 player only?

Yes in t20's. Lyon is the first choice spinner by a street and his record proves that

That question gets asked constantly on these boards. He averages 50 in First-class cricket and hasn't done anything recently except in short form.

Smith is actually becoming a great slipper to the spinners. Those catches are pretty amazing. Seen him to that pre-emptive move down the leg side to catch a lap-sweep a few times now.

 

[Black_Warrior]

Lyon is most definitely the first choice test spinner and rightly so. But I would have expected Australia to go with 2 spinners and Zampa would be a better pick than Keefe who played in UAE.

given what yasir shah has just done to england, expect australia to pick the next young leggie shane warne tells them to on the basis that we need one to beat england

I'm more expecting Warne to say how big a fan of SOK he's always been and how he's long thought he should have had more goes in the Test side.

nah no way. if anything, if warne is still commentating in england while our series starts, he'll go to great lengths to throw SOK under the bus

You're expecting consistency from SK Warne? He's quite capable of doing both in the same commentary stint, if not the same sentence.

 

[Top_Cat]

In line with Spikey as usual. Warne more likey more likely to wonder why are we picking a spinner who doesn't turn it enough for Test cricket when could pick a young gun who'll get carted but might develop and wreck Bangladesh once.

 

[adub]

SOK

...no. Just no.
