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

[Das Gupta]

What a dreadful batting display by Australia.

 

[Eelectrica]

Sri Lankans are the ultimate trolls. 2 for not much, watch that become 2/150 and beyond.

 

[JJ]

Think there will be a mandate for concrete wickets soon so your bullies can prosper outside Australia, RSA and NZ

Haynetrain might be on to something

 

[Mr Angry]

Voges drops one.....

 

[Mr Angry]

3/31

 

[umina panther]

The only solution to this is to play a full NSW 11

 

[The Mad Hatter]

We don't need batsmen. Just bowlers who can bat.

Played cricket with my boys for 40 mins. Come in and SL ARE 3/31 at lunch wtf!?!

 

[Twizzle]

Are we still No 1 in the world, lol

 

[chigurh]

Lololol. Is anyone really surprised by this shit anymore? What a terrible side.

Nope, no surprise - I didn't see a single ball of that session but was not one bit surprised to see we were out for 100.

 

[TheParraboy]

Bloody hell we just avoided the follow on too, real depressing

Starc keeping us in it (from a total smashing)

SL 3/31 (lead by 206)

They could declare now and we would lose. Don't even think about another 75-100

 

[Tommy Smith]

Would Warner have averaged more than mid 30s if he played his career in the 80s - mid 90s?

Even Smith is massively overrated. These guys, and the likes of Clarke and Hussey before them, plundered 1000s of runs at home in the worlds most favourable conditions but can barely score a run when the going gets tough in even the most mildly adverse conditions.

I imagine so, but it's actually entertaining, nobody is terribly good, especially away

Pretty much agree

We basically go to 3rd if we lose this test

If Pakistan win the series over the poms we might stay in 2nd.

 

[TheParraboy]

Holland 0/12 - 1 over

Zampa is part of our ODI squad when he should be playing here

They couldn't do any worse, our batsman are all severely overrated. as soon as it moves off the straight they have nothing,

Hate agreeing with Tommy but he is bang on the money, AB would average about 60 odd if he was playing today. These blokes just aren't much chop, front foot plodders made to look good playing on drop in pieces of shit and roads that barely do anything.

Smith has done well in most, if not all, conditions.

 

[St Tangles]

Hoĺland is bog average.
Decent spin and swing and we go to gello.

How embarassing from the batting line up.

How did Holland manage to get a gig?
