2nd Test: Sri Lanka v Australia at Galle on August 4-8, 2016 - SRI LANKA WON BY 229 RUNS

[TheParraboy]

I'm assuming the lethal Jon Holland comes in for SOK as our only change

Am confident we can take out the series 2-1

 

[The Mad Hatter]

I'm seeing SL win their first series against us.

We'll be 4 or 5 for not much by lunch.

I've got the day off, and would have seen a wicket on the first ball of the innings except Fox Sports was showing a repeat of a CPL game...

Sri Lanka's two openers are absolutely hopeless, walking wickets they are.

 

[hineyrulz]

lol Brendan Julian wanted Haze dropped so they can bring in Sean Darsh to strengthen the batting, what an absolute Clown. Haze would probably offer more with the bat as well.

 

[St Tangles]

Would like another wicket or 2 before tea.
Hopefully Mendis.

 

[St Tangles]

If anything I would of left Mitchell Marsh out for a legitimate number 6.
I don't think he is good enough in either discipline to hold his spot.

Having said that I still hope he gets wickets and runs.

 

[hineyrulz]

Holland on, Sri Lanka batsman now trembling in their boots.

 

[Hutty1986]

A decent start, then not much else. Sums up a fair bit of Starc's test career.

Hopefully 21 year old Mendis follows in the footsteps of Aravinda De Silva and Mahela Jayawardene. Short right handed number 4 Sri Lankan greats.

To back up a big score so quickly for a young guy says to me he is a real player. Good to watch as well.

Starc and Haze bowled pretty well on a very flat wicket, it was our spinners and Darsh who let us down.

 

[Fufu Andronez]

who is Jon Holland? And is the Ahmed experiment over now?

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Worst Aussie team ever but still better than Kane Williamson at least

 

[St Tangles]

Definitely looking good.
Has all the shots.

Experiment??? He never even got a fair go.

Holland getting a baggy green gives all park trundlers hope.

Holland playing test cricket is like Rawnaq getting a run in the cox plate.

 

[hineyrulz]

The quicks having to come back on a pancake of a wicket to get the breakthrough. spinners have been a massive fail.

 

[hineyrulz]

Haze with maybe the breakthrough. This will be close.\ going down i think.
