2nd Test: Sri Lanka v Australia @ Galle Feb 6-10, 2025

[bazza]

stroke of genius imo, we all know how important that no 8 position is

if it wasn't for Starc's batting at number 8 last test they might have only got 600

 

[AlwaysGreen]

So Baldie has immediately started with this nonsense of not trying to get the recognised batsman out.

 

[mave]

Drier than a nun's nasty.

 

[This Year?]

What a great day. Cricket into footy.

 

[This Year?]

Fantastic innings so far from Kusal.

 

[This Year?]

That had more spin than Albanese and Dutton combined.

 

[yobbo84]

No idea why you wouldn't just open with Starc bowling yorkers to Mendis...

 

[TheParraboy]

I tell you what lads and ladettes

This will be a great century by K Mendis

 

[TheParraboy]

Kumara - The rock of Gibraltar

No idea why you wouldn't just open with Starc bowling yorkers to Mendis...

I'm shocked we aren't seeing slow-medium half trackers from Mad Marnus.

 

[This Year?]

This channel change thing is f**king stupid

 

[mozza91]

If you only had to get 8 wickets in a Test innings we would be unbeatable.

 

[This Year?]

Boooo. Robbed of what would have been the century of the siummer.

 

[TheParraboy]

SL all out 257

 

[bazza]

could be a valuable 30 runs depending on how Australia bat

 

[yobbo84]

Great catch. I think that's about a par score. It's going to be very hard come 4th innings. We'll need min. 400 in our first innings I reckon

 

[bazza]

why has Inglis been off the field?

 

[JJ]

Fine innings from Kusal Mendis

Wonder if their bowlers can do much, Aust batting deep here, deep but not necessarily terribly good. Someone usually finds a way to help Head and Smith though… well except Labuschange

 

[This Year?]

f**k yeah time for Head.

 

[mave]

Dictating terms baby.

And we haven't even faced a ball.yet.
