Where is @Gnske

Like looking at mush and the full zucchini

Should have sent maxwell, marnus and green up the order. Dead rubber with 0 meaning and those 3 need Gametime on these kind of pitches for the test series.

Where you been mate? Was it compulsory mourning for TitPig or were you just busy?

Mate I had to do my penance. I sat down, I got on my knees and I bowed like many a twink bowed to titpig for his place in heaven.

Blame the quality of cricket.

Given Agar can’t play, if Head is out you’d think he would play for sure. Gives you 0.5 of a bowler and he’s batted well in these type of conditions before

Could still see Marsh somehow getting the nod

 

[Starfighter]

We're gonna lose this somehow.

 

[honestbharani]

The thing about Sri Lanka is a lot of these emerging players seem multi skilled as well. Especially the bowlers being able to bat can be such a big thing in LO cricket. Baby steps for sure from that series against India last year when Dhawan led the side. But promisingn nonetheless.

 

[Nintendo]

Good win for us. Not exactly keen seeing how some of our test guys handled the spinners this series, but onwards and upwards.

Is the word that Smith and Starc will be fit for the tests? Good time zone for watching on the Aus east coast

They could have played some of these ODers with some risk but apparently preserved so yeah most likely. Maxwell will bat five I reckon and Kuhnemann should be the second spinner

Think most of Aust batsmen would be happier not facing Theekshana. I know he has only played 3 fc games but he reminds me a lot of Ashwin.

 

[GotSpin]

Surely it'd be a welcome distraction for the good people of Sri Lanka

Been good so far

 

[Burgey]

I think you’re referring to the good people of the eastern suburbs of Sydney (to the extent there are any)

 

[honestbharani]

Was a really nice thing to see the Aus players doing their bit to raise awareness of the problems in SL and how people can help. And then to see the SL crowds thank Australian players. Some really wholesome #content for once.

 

[Burgey]

Not surprising to see other cricketing nations who are doing it tough turn to Aus for solace and support. We’re a generous people, particularly since 21 May

Was very generous of Australia to lift the spirits of a country ravaged by COVID by losing the BG trophy to them. Thank you.

A pleasure. Only fair it will be regained next year

Nah.. It will be the GB Trophy when here. You gotta wait longer to get your hands on the BG. A lot longer.

 

[Burgey]

Can’t believe they reverse the batting order like that

 

[Shady Slim]

Nuh bruh play the conditions. There are wickets where Michael Clarke/Joe Root can take 5 for 9. Accurate left arm spinners can be match winners on a Galle like wicket and that's why I think Agar is a bigger loss than people think. Play two spinners and Maxwell as a batsman

i think that we don't disagree on the inherent philosophy, it's just that i don't really rate agar and you do

 

[Gob]

I don't actually and he is not even half of the bowler Hazlewood is but the conditions are such that it makes him more effective than Hazlewood. So he should play
