Will be interesting to see what they do with the line up for the next game. Not sure if there is 11 fit players.
Tillakaratne Dilshan Dimuth Karunaratne Tharanga Paranavitana Mahela Jayawardene (c) Thilan Samaraweera Angelo Mathews Dinesh Chandimal (wk) Suraj Randiv Shaminda Eranga Rangana Herath Nuwan Pradeep I presume Prasad injuried as well. I don't think he has ever played two Tests in a row in his whole career.

BTW Mendis isn't injured he has taken 15 wickets this month in OD domestic competition. He just out favour from the Test team behind Herath and Randiv. He will probably play in the ODI tour with Dananjaya and Herath rested. Though the 3rd mystery spinner is also bowling well, Tharindu Kaushal (12 wickets @ 10).

68 overs has to be one of the lowest combined batting efforts in a Test of recent times surely?
I would imagine Bangladesh may have just about beaten it somewhere and maybe one of those matches when India toured New Zealand (100 played 120 type games). Seriously awful.

He either plays because he's one of the best six bats (,,,) or not at all.

Yep, Maxwell a great allrounder replacement for Watto....1 century from 9 times past fifty and 1.5 wkts per match in FC cricket
Although he has a demanding case for selection with 90 runs @ 22.50 in FC cricket this season

Not sure if it's been mentioned elsewhere but I just saw that after this latest Test Clarke has now hit 900 points on the ICC ratings, only the seventh Australian batsman ever to do so.
Tendulkar's highest ever rating - 898. Clarke > Tendulkar. Like anyone didn't already know that anyway, obvs.

Drop Lyon and play Maxwell + 4 quicks
Siddle is supposedly our best bowler Starc has taken 14 wickets in his last 2 tests Johnson has just destroyed SL's tour Bird looks quality Lyon is irrelevant so let's see whether Maxwell can be a stop gap (doubt it btw) for a few overs and bat a bit If we ever have a full complement of quicks to choose from, then it would be madness to pick Lyon so lets prepare for the future Easy |

I'm not really SL can count in this chat anyway. I mean, 3 people didn't finish their innings. that's kinda important in a lowest-overs-ever thing

Better than stealing Chris Connolly's material.
