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.

Can't see how, for the life of me, anyone can seriously think Maxwell's little offspun pies are anything above a fill in at test level.Originally Posted by benchmark00
He either plays because he's one of the best six bats (,,,) or not at all.

- As featured in The Independent.
"The committee discussed the issue of illegal bowling actions, and believed that there are a number of bowlers currently employing suspect actions in international cricket, and that the ICC's reporting and testing procedures are not adequately scrutinising these bowlers."
- Even the ICC's own official press release thinks things must change
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

i was surprised to find that zimbabwe faced more than 68 overs here Only Test: New Zealand v Zimbabwe at Napier, Jan 26-28, 2012 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo
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.

Haha Zim only managed it because they batted so ****ing turgidly in the first dig.

Sanga isn't the best off spinner in the history of cricket? News to me.
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
Indians can't bowl - Where has the rumour come from as I myself and many indian friends arwe competent fast bowlers ?
With the English bid I said: Let us be brief. If you give back the Falkland Islands, which belong to us, you will get my vote. They then became sad and left
Spikey to post picture of Clarke dismissing Sachin in Sydney asap
Stealing Rohan Connolly's material now?
Better than stealing Chris Connolly's material.
"So was Starc's omission made with a view towards the Ashes?"
"Well, we don't like to use the A-word around the club..."
SBI on fire right now, must be said.
