***Official*** Australia in Sri Lanka

[Spikey]

!

9 from the first ball. That's about half an hour of SL batting gone right there.

 

[Spikey]

hahaha that guy just poking Slinger's body

 

[Burgey]

Jesus.

 

[robelinda]

Clean up Hughes please, so we can get a real opener in the team with an actual openers technique.

 

[Spark]

Watto looking a real LBW candidate atm


Good session then. Cleaned up the SL tail and effectively conceded 29 runs.

Randiv is on the field for Mathews. Worth pointing out that Hussey was back on the field for the ten-minute period before lunch when he scored his century on the second morning.

Ergo, Hussey > Mathews.

 

[TT Boy]

When was the last time Aus had an opening combo where both batsman averaged under 40?

I hate watching him bat, but we need him to suck up some overs here even if he doesn't score a lot. Though he should be able to score runs on this track for god's sake.

Good question! 91/92 Perth? Other than that obviously something like 78/79 Ashes. 85/86 summer? 88/89?

I think there might be other reasons to think that Hussey>Matthews

Watto looking a real LBW candidate atm

When hasn't he?

 

[SamSawnoff]

When hasn't he?

Just what I was thinking. He's got a good record considering some of the quirks of his style.

 

[Burgey]

Lunch time highlights could replay every run and wicket which fell and still have 15 minutes left before resumption.

Weird old session.

 

[hang on]

excellent session. hopefully no brain fades in the next session.

 

[GotSpin]

why is Johnson in the next team. ffs

I never get tired of that Mark Waugh quote in your sig.

Haha, was thinking the same thing tbh. Quality.

 

[adub]

Sri Lanka are gonna make it easy if they drop those.

 

[Burgey]

Travelling rapidly, but should have been taken.

 

[Jayzamann]

Seeing highlights of Midge's century in SA was equally lolworthy and depressing.
