1st Test: Australia v Sri Lanka @ Galle Jun 29 - Jul 3rd, 2022

[Twizzle]

I really didn't expect this

how many times have we been bent over and the bald head slipped in at the sub-continent by spin bowling

I know it's only SL but this fightback from the middle and late order is not something I've seen too often, if at all, from an Aussie team.

Big ups to Cam Green

3 sure things this weekend, we'll win this test, the raiders will flog the dragons and I'll be googling nudes of Rebel Wilson.

You can put Parraboy's house on it.

Especially the third part.

Cam and Carey were in complete control. Love watching Cam mature and make the naysayers eat shit.
Last summer, my son agreed that Lauba needed someone in his ear to concentrate. Guy has gone from boom to bust very quickly. And whoever keeps thinking Haze should be left out is a deadset ducking genius ffs.

Hopefully Cummins can pick up where he left off. My feeling though is the early end has cost us 20-30 runs.
Arbitrary figure sure, but Cummins was in the groove and the Sri Lankan Bowlers didn't know which way was up. Now they've had the night to re-focus themselves.

Still 100 run lead I'd take any day. Especially without much of a contribution for Labs and Smith.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Cummins out immediately.

 

[Hutty1986]

Wouldn't want to be chasing any more than about a hungey on this

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Starc already bleeding runs. FTC

1st over 17 runs the useless twat.

 

[Hutty1986]

Lol and of course Starc gets them off to an absolute flyer

 

[Fangs]

Good catch. I'm used to seeing modern keepers fumble plenty off the spinners.

 

[Eelectrica]

Good stuff Swepson. Lyon and Swepson with some good early strikes.
S: 2- -70

 

[hineyrulz]

Big wicket by Swepson, so glad we picked him lol.

 

[Fangs]

Warner has been brilliant in the field on this tour. Expected him to grab that one.

 

[Hutty1986]

Mendis dropped

 

[Eelectrica]

Funny game. Runs and wickets flowing.

 

[Hutty1986]

Mendis dropped

Mendis caught

 

[Leaguenutter]

Can someone please explain why Starc is there instead of Haze

 

[Eelectrica]

Can't keep Swepson out of the game. Taking catches and wickets.
Also two reviews burned by SL. They can't believe Swepson is taking wickets either.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Well on top so time for a whinge, why do we wear white and not creams, ffs, useless.
