Alyssa Healy tweeted something to the tune of 'they can't take that one off you'

Does she not realise another innings where he only removes lower order batsmen proves the naysayers point?

You're absolutely right, a real wife would be sledging him for not picking up enough of the top-3.

Sri Lanka always seem to play Test series in Oz as if they're totally overawedand intimidated, even when they had much better teams than this one.

Probably the best SL performance in Oz was all the way back in 89/90; got very close to drawing both Tests against an Oz side who'd just triumphed in England.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Hopefully 60/6 at stumps

Probably 80/2 and game over

 

[Starfighter]

Look forward to Burns getting bowled here.

Remarkably, Sri Lanka did comfortably better this innings than they did on their opening innings of the last time their sides played in a Test series; doubt the result will be the same though.

Can someone translate this?

 

[Burgey]

Probably referring to the lbw which was over turned early on

1 ball in and already Burns is opening the face on his defensive shots

I really wanted to make this post as well but felt it would be too harsh

 

[Burgey]

Good to see SL have finally brought s bloke out here with a proper fast bowler’s crystal glass.

Nah it's deeper than that. It would be for his 200 wkts as she's always supporting her man from people like Warne who says he's soft

 

[Starfighter]

I want a few bumpers from Kumara or I'll be disappointed.

 

[Spark]

with that sliding technique on this grass, maybe tell the fast bowlers to stay on their feet on the outfield

 

[Starfighter]

Lakmal goes around the wicket for no reason whatsoever.

After the effort to revamp the squad and drop the Marshes, this will be a nice series to make Australia feel like they've turned things around only to get dominated in the Ashes again.

Burns gonna Burns.

Much better Australian teams have been beaten in England recently. They don't even have the right to be sad about it anymore if it happens again this time.

you almost say this as if it's happened before

 

[Starfighter]

Can we like... not go down to Trent Copeland at the touchscreen, ever again?

Unless it's a 5-0 sort of result I'm basically at the point where I can't even care that much if we lose. Ala 2013 (o/c another Ashes series being 3 months later helped there)
