*Official* Australia tour of Sri Lanka 2022

[Raz0r6ack]

Damn Australia going to be trailing by 150 going into the second innings.

 

[Aritro]

After a couple of months of watching Bazball, this match has reminded me how boring cricket is. Try and get to 500 by stumps ffs

 

[GotSpin]

Yeah you cant miss those stumpings

 

[OverratedSanity]

The latest mendis had been pretty impressive so far. And just as I write that he gets away with one.

 

[Himannv]

Hope Chandigun tons up here. He's deserved it.

 

[Chubb]

Keeping in Sri Lanka is very hard, but Carey has been untidy from what I've seen of the SL innings.

 

[Aritro]

I'm finding it hard to gauge how flat this pitch is for a day 3, or whether it's flattened out but the Sri Lankans have batted very well. Looked very comfortable throughout the innings.

 

[Howe_zat]

I'm keeping an eye on this innings for some 'highest scores without a ton' records which I reckon is on considering Dickwella is yet to come in and he pretty much always gets 30-60.

So far: Highest for Sri Lanka against Australia

Highest by or in Sri Lanka - 437 vs England in 1993
Highest in Asia - 498 by India vs New Zealand in 1976
Highest overall - 506 by SA against Australia in 1998

Chandimal really has to get out soon or I might have wasted my time

Kamindu Mendis has 2074 first class runs at 61. Are outlier batting averages like that fairly normal in Sri Lankan first class cricket? On the face of it, that seems pretty good

Not that much.

 

[Burgey]

Better pace here from Swepson. Slowing it up a bit

Nissanka's average is even higher but yeah it's still definitely an outlier.

Blame Dharmablahblah

 

[Gob]

Pitch seems to have flattened out a fair bit tbh

 

[Burgey]

Terrific knock that. He’s such a good player to watch. Quality

 

[Migara]

That was unnecessary from Kamindu. However it will bring Dikwella in to the middle who scores swiftly.

 

[Burgey]

That came out of nowhere. Badly needed too. Good dayboo effort though

Really surprised he was not given a bowl. Proper ambidextrous bowler.

 

[halba]

should be a draw. nearly day 4 and 1st innings isnt completed.

 

[Spikey]

wow, what a dick

 

[Burgey]

Some chance to get right back into this now. That’s terrible from Dickwella given the state of the game.
