*Official* Sri Lanka Tour of Australia 2019

With Thiri and Sadeera in the squad why they recall Kusal. Idiotic decision by De Mel

probably as a backup for Dickwella

 

[Dan]

Until I think about it properly I always mix up Kusal Perera with Kaushal Silva. I was very disappointed when I realised my error -- that period where Kaushal Silva was a proper Test-class opening bat was the pinnacle of Test cricket as we know it.

Mate, it's not for nothing that Kaushal Silva is 50% of the 2nd best opening pair (runs scored) for SL in the history of Test cricket.

I yearn for the glory days when JK Silva would blunt the ball for a good 20-30 and then make way for the likes of Sanga and Mahela.

In surprised the Aussie selectors didn't look to rest one of the 3 quicks or try someone new. And lol Siddle. Why I'd he still in the squad in all formats? Experience?

Work experience Uncle.

Work experience Uncle.

I had one of those at school but he got taken away one day and never came back. Then we all had to go to some counsellor it was weird

I would have liked it if they had given Jhye Richardson a chance.

 

[Pup Clarke]

Yeah that's seriously bizarre. I presume Australia don't play any tests between SL and the Ashes? If so, it's just poor thinking and the faith shown in Starc is ott

Look at England - slowly introducing new quicks over the last couple of years, and now they have legitimate depth. I'm thinking Woakes, TRJ, both Curran's, and Overton. Stone will likely debut in the WI too

Langer was asked a straight question about the contemptuous treatment of Maxwell and just gave a gibbering evasive reply. Didn’t clarify a thing and because of that invited people to believe they talked him into cancelling a contract and reneging on the consequential promise made to him.

 

[Burgey]

Is anyone apart from the Renshaw, Burns and Pucovski families looking forward to this series at all?

I'm looking forward to seeing the first Australian test century this summer.

 

[the big bambino]

So long as the Marsh family isn’t then I’m ok with that.

Partnership or by an individual?

 

[Starfighter]

Either will do atm.

 

[Ahmad Zahir]

Pucovski kid is now back to cricket. Good for him.

 

[jimmy101]

The CAXI vs Sri Lanka FC match is currently being broadcasted on the cricket.com.au youtube channel.

Renshaw & Burns currently facing the music.

 

[Starfighter]

Renshaw needs a coach to get him to just loosen up and relax his front leg a bit. Sadly in the 'bat speed' 'watch the ball' modern coaching regime he's unlikely to get that simple bit of advice that would help him fulfil his potential.

 

[randycricfreak]

Pradeep out just after bowling 2 overs.

 

[Daemon]

Pink ball huh

Burns gone, gun catch from DJ

 

[Starfighter]

Burns out cutting without moving his feet. Disappointing to see that the pink ball barely moves only six overs in.
