Best post. Heart, positive intent and aggression is what wins you games.

Actually, Sidds' aorta with its 125kph cutters would probably be pretty handy on this deck.

In this match the Aus spiders have bowled the grand total of two maidens.

BTW, can somebody who's watching (rather than following cricinfo) tell me what proportion of this expensiveness is the bowling, the field settings and the batting?

They certainly haven't snared the Sri Lankans in their webs

Shame it isn't Mathews, but I'll take it.

Smith more petulant child than grumpy captain

WPNCOS striking at a wicket every 39 balls this dig. ATG strike rate.

Did not notice that at all

Angelo Matthews is just the perfect guy to have out there, tbh. His team making the running, loves to infuriate and he's due. Nailed on for a quick ton.

It would be good if Marsh could bowl some cutters similarly.

He has suck potential, I'm sure one day he will

Can't just bowl Starc into the ground. Aside from just coming back from injury, day 1 he bowled big overs for a guy who operates at his intensity and took 5. Then half-way into the first session of day 2, he's in the field again and, of course, who knows how many overs he'll bowl today or tomorrow. This is why SL are going after the spinners now, get as many as they can knowing the pacers will be back on soon.

otoh I'd have given Starc a quick burst straight after lunch to see if SL might continue to collapse against him. If that didn't happen, there's no need for him to bowl again, and certainly not if SL are still batting tomorrow.

i'm still filthy that last Marsh shot didn't carry over the ropes. He was nailed on for a 40

Expect Australia to chase down 250 plus in the second innings.

How much above 250 would you expect them to chase down?
