3rd Test: Sri Lanka v Australia at Colombo (SSC) on Aug 13-17, 2016 - SRI LANKA WON BY 163 RUNS

5 down, Starc with 3 now. How did we get beat by these plodders???

If we lose the game from here, our batsmen can swim home.
The only batsman to make any runs this series is out. Gotta be looking to get them out for around 75-100 tops.
Of course whatever they do, we are perfectly capable of doing worse!

 

[hineyrulz]

Great idea bring Holland on FFS!!

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Starc is a great bowler man,f**k he's a gun

 

[simmo1]

Starc was always going to be world class once he got some more consistency. Even when he first started and he was leaking runs everywhere (and he still does occasionally) it was obvious he would be the lead the attack for years to come.

 

[hineyrulz]

You useless fat spastic.

Honestly Holland getting a test cap is the like the make a wish foundation.

 

[St Tangles]

I don't see the point in having both M Marsh & Moses H in the side.
Should of had 1 of them only and an extra batsmen.
Surely we have a better second spinner then Holland.

If Burns starts swimming now, he might make it back by Christmas.
Sri Lanka 3-0. Already got a match winning score the way we bat.

I dont see the point of having either Marsh brother playing for Australia ever

I see Mitch as a one day or 20/20 player only.
The other one shouldn't be anywhere near the side.

 

[hineyrulz]

Reckon Sri Lanka would be looking to declare soon.

 

[TheParraboy]

I knew we should have played an extra extra bowler....

 

[Hutty1986]

Haha sri lanka with plenty of runs now, may not have to bat again. Had em 5/26!

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Wow everyone in this team apart from Starc is bloody useless

 

[Twizzle]

Well needless to say I am very confused by the selections.

Not just the fact that we added Darsh but the fact that we replace no 3 with an all rounder, yep makes sense.

MMarsh has actually done OK this tour, I think he is about second on the batting aggregate on tour, but that probabaly also highlights the fact that the others have been shit.

Also our Jekyll and Hyde bowling form continues, hate to see us without Starc

 

[TheParraboy]

I think SMarsh (did well last SL tour) and Henriques (has batted well in india) will have a good game with the bat (im hoping). Warner has been under done for this series, coming straight into the side after being out 6 weeks or so with a thumb injury.

I got an eery feeling SL will post well over 400 in their 1st dig

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Bring back Jo Angel

It's funny watching everyone suck Starc off now...a few of us said he would be the best of our young crop of quicks a few years ago and were laughed out of town!
