*Official* Australia in Sri Lanka 2016

[Spikey]

ha yes i was wondering if we'd been shot out for like 40 or something

I was like "hey weren't we on like 40 at stumps?". tbf we barely got past 46 runs scored today

 

[Spikey]

anyway it's bad enough when state cricketers attempt to cut SOK, but TPC trying to cut today was rough. plz put that shot away against these guys who are like "hey maybe we'll spin the ball but maybe we won't and it'll just spear into the stumps"

Superb spell/match from Starc. Hope Perera absolutely launches at whoever bowls the next over now.

It's Starc's game, we're just watching it.

EDIT: Already Oz's most successful quick in SL.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Dammit why couldn't Starc turn out to be rubbish? So annoying to watch him improve so much.

 

[Spikey]

I wonder what the average Australian team total is over the past five years away from home. Have there been any big outliers, I guess Lord's last year off the top of my head.

i don't think statsguru has an option where can average it out, but you can do that yourself

It's important to know that he choose to get out LBW to benchmark00's bunny and complete the hat-trick

Why doesn't smith bowl more, looking very good, more effective than holland imo

 

[Spikey]

man i hope he gets his 10. his 99 was brutal enough

 

[harsh.ag]

Smith is as bad as/maybe even worse than Holland, though gets more spin.

Burns will be a bit sore come batting time.

 

[aussie tragic]

Why has Hazlewood only bowled 6 overs with figures of 1-8, wtf Smith

So you didn't like the second part of my post??

No I just realized that you didn't like my first post about the blackout and this was just a response to that. My original comment about the internet was said as a joke..which I can see you didn't appreciate..so I'll refrain from such posts directed at you in future.

 

[Dan Jamson]

I think it's safe to say that SL already have enough runs.

I can see what you mean. But how many times has it happened that a winning 4th innings was actually the biggest innings of a test?.

Not very often at all..but test cricket in general I have learned over the years offers a lot of twists you don't see coming. Having said that, that post was made around 80/4. Now this partnership has diminished almost all chances. But let's see. Would like to see some sort of fight or a battling century from Smith in the 4th innings.

No you don't. Be honest, you want to see them fold for 80 all out. We all do.

I don't

 

[Dan Jamson]

Lyon needs to work on his leg break ball.

 

[hendrix]

who the **** is holland how did I miss this

 

[Top_Cat]

A spinner who could actually break legs right now would be ****ing handy.

 

[Starfighter]

They'd only need to break the legs of the last four batmen, too. Not much to ask.
