*Official* Sri Lanka Tour of Australia 2019

[SeamUp]

Beauty. When you watch a bowler and just see they have it.

Hopefully booked his Ashes spot. 5th seamer now to be decided (if it isn't Siddle already).

 

[Starfighter]

Chandimal and Mendis with identical footwork on their dismissals, both pushing forward without moving their front foot, like Head in the ODIs against SA.

it's also about time that starc and hazlewood had real pressure placed on them from below

Jhye is the real deal people. Just looks like taking a wicket with every ball at the moment.

The Sri Lankans really aren't doing huge amounts wrong. The bowling is very tight from what little I've caught.

I think technically there's a few things lacking but yeah they aren't playing bad shots by any means

you also don't expect lyon to be borderline unplayable day 1 at brisbane

Definitely. Need to raise their game. It's been a long time since the big 4 were annointed and when Pattinson fell away they've lacked the genuine competition.

 

[Starfighter]

Lyon getting some stupidly steep bounce here. I wonder if those nascent, faint cracks in the middle of the pitch are playing up a bit more normal.

Pattinson never fell away. He broke .

Until a second ago, de Silva's "productive shot" according to cricinfo was "left alone"

 

[Spark]

that there is a pretty bad shot. nice outswing though

 

[Starfighter]

Of course I leave for a moment and miss a wicket.

 

[Spark]

also would be really nice if director of the tv feed could fix the ****ing colour grading. the ball should be pink, not the players

 

[Starfighter]

Tuffers analysing batting never ceases to amuse when one remembers how bad he was.

 

[Spark]

what's tuffnell on about, that's a completely safe and sensible shot

 

[Starfighter]

Yes, the eighties film score is back!

 

[stephen]

Tuffers is the most boring Englishman I've ever heard to be honest. He's the only bloke I hear on the TV and can't process what he's saying because the tone of his voice puts me to sleep.

 

[stephen]

Jhye Richardson is having the dream debut here.

 

[SeamUp]

Man, I feel for Sri Lanka.

New Zealand was the valiant fight. They lost their talisman in the battle and are now going to get battered and bruised in Australia and still have to come to South Africa.

Yep, one of Starc or Hazlewood has lost their starter position for the Ashes

I do too. I genuinely wish it was India that was being flattened by this Australian bowling lineup.
