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

[hineyrulz]

That's it in a nutshell...

AB didn't score a test hundred for 4 years but still averaged over 40 in that time, shows how consistent he was. Doubt anyone today could do that without a few big no hundreds to bolster up that average.

 

[TheParraboy]

Holland the breakthrough

SL 3/69 - LEAD 45

 

[hineyrulz]

Our spinners again not doing the job.

 

[Hutty1986]

Mendis looking dangerous yet again. Our absolute only hope is to be chasing less than 150 in the last dig, we won't get any more on this deck.

 

[TheParraboy]

3/98 - 74 runs ahead

we need a minimum of 2 more wickets before lunch

 

[TheParraboy]

Starc comes on and gets a wicket , amazing

SL 4/98

 

[Hutty1986]

Cometh the hour, cometh the Starcers

 

[JJ]

Starc is a huge positive, the only one?

 

[TheParraboy]

Lunch Day 4

SL 4/109 - lead 85

2nd session crucial for us, need to bowl them out before tea

 

[WaznTheGreat]

lol Peter Nevill what a dud batsmen

 

[Twizzle]

draw coming up

 

[Hutty1986]

draw coming up

Unless it rains, Sri Lanka look home now. No way Aussies can bat that long.

 

[Hutty1986]

Yet another century with the ball approaching for Lyon. He is the definition of plod.

 

[Twizzle]

need to get Silva out pronto

 

[TheParraboy]

SL should go the tonk , already 180 odd ahead, 28 overs left in the day

There can only be one winner in this test, aint Australia

 

[Tommy Smith]

Yet another century with the ball approaching for Lyon. He is the definition of plod.

He's an absolute fraud.

Once again he's got conditions tailor made for him and, once again, he can't run through an opposition.

He's got by for years imo because he's a 'cult figure'; a caricature if you will.

Surely O'Keefe is better. Alas he probably doesn't sing the team song as well, or cup Steve Smith or Darren Lehmann's balls on command.

 

[Twizzle]

SOK pretty much showed he was better on these pitches, shame he got injured

 

[TheParraboy]

If SOK doesn't play in the 4 test series v India over there in 2017, then we may as bring cam white back as our frontline spinner

 

[TheParraboy]

I can read their body language in the sheds, SL will declare when Silva gets his ton...

 

[Wizardman]

Maybe it has been done earlier in the thread but Neville's stumping was such a prick move. We must seriously suck if we are that desperate to get a wicket
