Have you considered his form in the nets?

I think Bailey has been considering Inglis’ batting under the covers… and in the showers.

No issues with Inglis being picked tbh. Especially when Carey sucks so much. It's just the treatment of Konstas/McSweeney on the flip side.

Head is treating Asitha’s bowling like I treat my 12 year old’s bowling in the backyard on Christmas day.

I don't disagree but it's better than dropping Konstas for like, Handsome Pete. At least we're looking at some new blood still.

Like I said earlier I'd have tried to fit all three in. Dead rubber series and loads of retirements coming

Missed opportunity there.

Sri Lanka blew it with not going to DRS for that LBW appeal

I don’t disagree with the 3 in too. I just don’t get how they select guys sometimes.
Anyway. I’m not a selector. They’re smashing em and I’m off to watch grade training for three hours.

Carey with the gloves has done nothing wrong, he snavels everything. Batting wise he's handy but hasn't taken advantage of his form. I can't drop him for Inglis (despite my mancrush on Inglis).

Khawaja will probably score a hundred here but he could have been pushed down to 3, Labs to 5. Konstas and Head opening.

If Uzzie fails in this game, does he get dropped? If not, then at what point does he?

Perhaps it’s just karma now, he was dropped willy nilly earlier in his career, now he’s undroppable, so all works out even?

Bazball in Galle?

Ben Duckett is sitting at home with the fire raging, a pint of Guinness and his hot wife thinking ‘you’re welcome fellas’

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Head opening was a pretty good decision.

 

[Fangs]

Great start.

McDonaldball is just brilliant to watch.

 

[wittyfan]

Despite the fast start the treatment of Konstas has been a disgrace.

 

[hineyrulz]

Holy Boost point Travman!!

 

[Marshall_magic]

Good start by Head, but let’s be honest, if it wasn’t for Bazball he wouldn’t be batting like this.

Praise be to Ben Duckett!

FFS just got home and was keen for some Head.
