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

[simmo1]

Does a team ever get rolled for sub 150 scores as consistently as Australia? Hopeless on anything except roads against medium pacers.

Smith must be the worst batsman to average 50 in tests?

EDIT: Apart from Voges.

 

[hineyrulz]

5 down, the two quicks have been great again. The less said about the spinners and the batsman the better.

Holland - Can't bowl can't throw.

 

[chigurh]

Holland is a mong. Why wouldn't they have just gone Zampa? Can't they just pick the best player/s available and not worry about their age, or workload, or denting their confidence or any other stupid BS

 

[hineyrulz]

Zampa had to be the option he turns the ball away from the bat and has done well at the international level with his limited chances. Yeah he averages high 40's in FC cricket but it would have been an investment into the future. Whats the point in picking a 29 yr old useless piece of shit like Holland who has never shown anything to be anything but a dogshit first class cricketer???? He's up there with the worst ever cricketer to pull on a baggy green.

 

[hineyrulz]

That was a gift.

 

[hineyrulz]

Julian still banging on about leaving out Haze for Sean Darsh, what an utter f**king cretin.

Haze has been our second best bowler behind Starc, our spinners have been dogshit and have offered zero. We should of left out Holland who doesn't bowl as well as Voges,Warner or Smith. He can't bat or field either.

 

[Hutty1986]

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.

Even by your standards, bagging the likes of Smith, Clarke and Hussey is massively geniused. All world class batsmen.

 

[TheParraboy]

SL 6/160

331 lead

They get a 400-450 run lead then we are no chance ......../sarcasm

 

[St Tangles]

Holland is one of the worst players I can remember putting the baggy green on.
Would of been better off not playing him and putting an extra batsmen in.

Bring back Wade.

 

[Marchad]

There is two problems with this Australian team they can't face spin and Steve Smith is a shit captain.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Even by your standards, bagging the likes of Smith, Clarke and Hussey is massively geniused. All world class batsmen.

All world class but none of them all-time greats like Steve Waugh, Allan Border, Ricky Ponting or Matthew Hayden.

 

[chigurh]

Such a massive effort from Starc

 

[TheParraboy]

We need 413 to win, over 3 days left

Starc 11 wickets

 

[St Tangles]

Such a massive effort from Starc

Just needed a spinner to back him up.
Lyon has had an off match.
Holland has been as expected.

 

[chigurh]

Oh dear..

Usman lmao

3/10...
