1st Test: Sri Lanka v Australia at Pallekele on Jul 26-30, 2016 - SRI LANKA WON BY 106 RUNS

[hineyrulz]

Now the Don gone, and the lead is only 43, we needed a 100 minimum on this deck.

 

[hineyrulz]

Bang!!! Few more of those Starcy.

 

[hineyrulz]

Bit of luck for Starc, was asleep at the non strikers end.

 

[undertaker]

This test match is very reminiscent of last year's one in Dominica (1st test vs West Indies).

Need to the tail to wag and as hineyrulz said, get at lead of at least 100. Sri Lanka will be under immense pressure in the 3rd innings if we get a 100+ lead on this pitch. O'Keefe/Starc/Hazlewood/Lyon are going to have to chip in with some valuable runs, as I feel the test will be won or lost with how cheaply Sri Lanka can get these next 3 wickets.

 

[Bazal]

Iron Man gone....SOK has been stoic as

 

[hineyrulz]

Now SOK gone, this left arm leg looks pretty handy. Lead is now 73.

 

[umina panther]

Enough of a lead imo

 

[Bazal]

Now SOK gone, this left arm leg looks pretty handy. Lead is now 73.

That's on me, I did a Parraboy on the poor bloke.

 

[hineyrulz]

That's on me, I did a Parraboy on the poor bloke.

Still an important knock by SOK.

 

[Bazal]

Absolutely, he played really well

 

[undertaker]

past the 200 now with that boundary, 9/203, lead by 86

 

[hineyrulz]

The GOAT scoring important runs again.

Looks like he's now gone, I've done a Parraboy as well.

 

[undertaker]

All out for 203, lead of 86.

 

[hineyrulz]

Pretty poor effort by the batsman IMO, should of put this game away. Instead Sri Lanka still have a chance.

 

[hineyrulz]

That looked pretty plumb, good start.

 

[hineyrulz]

And it's pissing down.


That could be it for the day again.

 

[aussies1st]

1 and a bit sessions a day seems enough to advanced this game

 

[TheParraboy]

Im calling it, Australia to win by 8 wickets

Cheers

 

[Twizzle]

they had enough rain to "fill a dam" yesterday so the pitch wont get any easier to bat on

 

[hineyrulz]

This looks pretty out IMO.
