***Official*** Sri Lanka in Australia T20s 2017

[Starfighter]

Was going to tell the batsman to suck it, then decided that wasn't a good idea.

 

[Gnske]

I see Sam Nogajski takes after the great umpires like Dharmasena and Bucknor

 

[Burgey]

if faulkner had any grace he'd call the poor fella back tbh

Forkers and grace aren't two words which will ever be associated

 

[NotMcKenzie]

Dickwella, though, is a paragon of grace and placidity or something

 

[Starfighter]

Jhye jhye, Mendis.

 

[Burgey]

Nice prognostication from Australian captain Arun Finch.

 

[Gnske]

Jhye > Kane

 

[vic_orthdox]

Been some shocking umpiring.

go on finchy.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Didn't realise how small Richardson is.

 

[NUFAN]

I mentioned this in the Oz Domestic Thread, but I still don't get how Richardson is being overlooked for WA in red ball Cricket when they were playing Nichols and Moody.

 

[Burgey]

Kid has wheels

 

[NUFAN]

Tye bowling in the powerplay

 

[Starfighter]

Good to see Arun backing his bowlers by giving them a second over.

Good to see Tye employing the leg theory. What a dreadful ball. Please bowl anything but that first up.

 

[Starfighter]

With the slating done there's a wicket.

 

[NUFAN]

Tye bowling in the powerplay

economy of 21 still.

 

[Burgey]

Surprised to see a SL team struggle when the ball stands up off the seam....

 

[NotMcKenzie]

Oh no!

 

[Spikey]

SL want to get out of Geelong

 

[Starfighter]

Predictions for the second innings:

SL will pick the gaps much better than us.
We'll bowl long hops down the leg side because 'yorkers aren't worth it'.
Finch'll under bowl Turner, again

Loss by five wickets with 3 remaining.

So far got 0.5 out of three right.

Surprised to see a SL team struggle when the ball stands up off the seam....

Might give tips for the next time SL or Ind have a test tour here. Rather than shaving all the grass off the pitch.
