So have I got this right, Australia are World Cup champions, while Sri Lanka were not deemed good enough to get into the Champions Trophy, however here we are with Sri Lanka giving the Australian CT team an almighty ass whipping 😆

Asalanka is so frustrating. He goes on runs where hey'll do stuff like this semi regularly (T20 WC in UAE) and you think "wow, this guy is unreal, then you look at his numbers and it's just Ehh. 40 @90 in ODI's, 24 @125 in t20I, 29 in domestic FC cricket and 1 test to his name with no runs.

Look at his home/away split. Its ridiculous. Averaging 54 at home and 15 away. Embarrasing

Actually it was a good game. Fantastic recovery hundred by Asalanka and Aussie selectors were shown up for crap selections!. Maybe select on actual performances next time instead of the nets eye test

Mitch Owen for JFM
Renshaw for Short
Mcsweeney for Connolly.

Asalanka's technique was good enough to be practically the only batsman to master the conditions today. Really great ton.

It was an odd looking Australian team but I suppose justified for the CT coming up. I'm not sure where we're going to get any decent starts if we're relying on Short and JFM as openers. I don't think our best CT team can fit more than one of them in the XI. So you might as well go all the way and leave both out. Maybe Short still has some hope of making it as LO international but I think our best XI would be Head, Inglis, Smith, Labuschagne, Carey, Maxwell, Hardie, Abbott, Johnson, Ellis, Zampa.

The bowling is pretty good, has 7 options but missing international quality without the big 3.
