Angelo reminds me of rohit. Even we across palk strait are suffering from same problem ie underperforming Seniors
At least your young guns are performing. Our ones are trying to match seniors. And in the mean time Chandimal, Prabath Jayasuriya and Fernando try to win the match.
Would love to see sl dish out a proper Turner next match. Sure with smith in decline aussies cant play spin
Its also just as likely if the pitch spins like mad that the Aussie spinners would run riot also tbf.
Took us a while to get to "it's the selectors fault", I was almost worried we'd miss it
Yeah, that's the really sad reality of being a spinner nowadays. Murphy isn't even a T20 gun for hire, or someone who has longevity in that format, necessarily. But he's completely adapted his game (maybe subconsciously as much as anything) to be effective in the short forms. Lyon continuing to be strong and not looking at an immediate retirement probably doesn't help, as well. Hard to be motivated to build your game around flight when you tour the subcontinent once a calendar year or whatever it is, and even then maybe you're not picked. He's probably not playing the 2nd Test?
Sri Lanka have zero chance on a flat deck. Their only hope is a proper turner. Narrows the gap between the sides
I don't think it is selector's fault. These players have influence over selectors too. It's their selfishness and poor work ethic. Kusal Mendis should not be any where in the team. **** keeper, **** batsman in test areana. Instead he gets Chandimal moved to 3 (who was averaging 50 at #5), Kamindu moved to 5 and settles in 7, and still fails. With such a bunch, a drubbing is well deserving.
With the seam attack Australia is fielding, we may have better chance with a track with little bit of grass, not much, just a bit, but doesn't bounce much. Perfect for SL seamers who like to hit the pads.
Probably not wrong, but it'd be a perfect set up for Boland to take 10/60
Scott Boland. He's basically the closest version we have to Mcgrath in those conditions
We had a bloke on here recently say Green would never play again. You should debate him.
Bowling though as an all rounder. He's being viewed as a batter only at this stage.
