*Official* Australia in Sri Lanka 2016

[Spikey]

it'd be pretty nice if we can get 69 maidens in a row

please dont @ me unless you're ajdude

Sri Lanka so unlucky. That review that was quashed was pad before bat and then they lose the review and get a shocker against them.

 

[YorksLanka]

Extra chilli powder in the umpires tea time curry...

 

[91Jmay]

Yeah Sri Lanka have been done over here.

 

[MW1304]

Wonder if any Australian pundits will bemoan them not going for the win. They've had plenty of balls to do it!

 

[Starfighter]

So far RR 0.13 for this pair. The current record for a partnership of over 100 balls? 0.64

 

[Adders]

Yesssssssssssss.

 

[Gnske]

Wade would have left that.

Disgusting

 

[Spikey]

goodbye sweet world

 

[91Jmay]

Wow that is a dire shot given how well they've fought previously. Good catch as well

 

[NUFAN]

"Nevill has to be given credit for taking the bulk of the strike" lol he has taken basically half of the balls in this partnership!

 

[Starfighter]

****
Edit: ****y shot as well

 

[OverratedSanity]

I'm not sure I want SL to win anymore. Wub Neville.

Knew I had to switch sides to make something happen

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Well gl Hazlewood

 

[Cabinet96]

21 overs without a run is proper heroic stuff.

 

[YorksLanka]

Have to say o'Keefe has batted well considering he bus injured, well done to him and also Nevill who absorbed a lot of pressure...

 

[mackembhoy]

Deserved wicket, as impressive as the blockathon has been by the Aussies. This is the type of cricket I'd be livid with if it was England when there was a chance to at least try for the win.

Is Peter Nevill really worth his place as gloveman btw? Only seen him in the Ashes so small sample size.

Yep. Reckon there have been lots of matches that would've been saved with this tactic. All hail faf and AB.

 

[Compton]

I get why they aren't running, right? O'Keefe can't run. But why aren't they walking singles when they'd have time to run 3? Maybe not so much now with Haze at the other end, but surely they should have been working to keep Nev on strike when the opportunity presented itself?

160-8 when over 100 runs needed is not a chance to try for a win.
