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

Anything over 120 would be tough for a decent batting side, let alone our brittle line-up. Looking pretty ordinary now.

 

[Timbo]

I can see us losing from here, if MMarsh isn't bowling why is he in the side????

Because he's a test match number 6 apparently.

They'd be better off playing Henriques. Much better batsman and not much worse a bowler.

I agree, he's a much better player of spin as well.

 

[hineyrulz]

Fmd should of taken that.

Missed the dropped catch. Who dropped it?

 

[Hutty1986]

Haha how bad is international test cricket when this side can get to #1??

Starc.

The umpire shouldn't be saying anything before a review. It's highly unprofessional IMO.

Umpires have been giving bowlers reasons as to why they have given appeals not out since Don was a boy. I absolutely have no dramas in what happened in today.

Also, while I'm at it, whoever in the Australian side keeps nagging the opposition to take the review needs to shut up. It's going to back fire badly on them one day and cost plenty.

This kid will get 200

 

[vvvrulz]

Good man, what a fight

Proved me wrong as I thought Sri Lanka were majorly short of talent

 

[Twizzle]

Mendis 160 something not out, looks to be a great young talent and plays this pitch pretty well.

Apparently we are looking to replace SOK on the tour so the injury must be tour ending. Zampa would be my pick.

 

[Mr Bean]

Not the way I thought this match would turn out. A contest is good though. A bit of hope yet for SL cricket with Mendis.

 

[JJ]

Great stuff from Mendis, big reputation and that's a fine maiden ton

 

[hineyrulz]

That was a top quality 100 by the young man, looks to have a big future.

 

[Bazal]

Bit of rain delayed the start, here's hoping we can rip through with the new ball

 

[Bazal]

Boom, Iron Man strikes...big wicket, Mendis gone.

I have to admit I was kind of barracking for him to get out on about 201.....

 

[Bazal]

Rare mistake from Kettleborough, that was pitching comfortably outside leg

 

[Hutty1986]

Rain for 2 days...please!

 

[Bazal]

What good will that do? No chance of a win if it rains....

 

[Bazal]

Holy shit, what a grab from Henriques!

268 to win. Very doable if we apply ourselves. The pitch looks the flattest it's been
