1st Test: Sri Lanka v Australia @ Galle Jan 29 - Feb 2, 2025

[Fangs]

Centuries on debut overseas?

Clarke did it against India in 2004. Voges as well against WI. Marsh against SL.

Inglis looks primed and ready.

 

[TheParraboy]

is it just me, or do SL have 3 fieldsmen fielding behind each other?

One at short leg, another 30 metres away and another on the boundary, almost in a line with each other

never seen that

 

[Fangs]

Triple centuries overseas?

Taylor the only one I can remember from my lifetime. But I tell you now that Khawaja is primed and ready.

Only thing that will stop him is a declaration tonight. Get moving Usman.

Konstas would have been 300 by now against this village attack

Nevermind 300 - no Aussie has scored 250 overseas since Taylor, and only 7 overall (3 of those Bradman in England):

Simpson got over 300 against the poms and of course the Don in 1930.

I think I've faced more lively bowling attacks playing SMCA 7th grade.

Primed and ready I say.

 

[Twizzle]

Ingliss in T20 mode, scoring at 3 times the rate of Oozie since he joined him

 

[hineyrulz]

Inglis batting like a Jet.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

The great Adam Voges was the last Australian to score a hundred on debut.

 

[yobbo84]

Cutting directly to an ad when Uzzie was given out is just cruel

 

[hineyrulz]

Wow the keeper hung onto one.

 

[Twizzle]

Oozie gone for 232, well done

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Mighty innings.

 

[yobbo84]

Well done Lad!

 

[jargan83]

100 on debut! Well batted!

 

[Bazal]

Always good to see debut tonnage

 

[hineyrulz]

That's a pretty f**king good debut knock, can we f**k off fish face yet???

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Off just 91 balls, didn't muck around, played how the team needed him too.
