20th Match - Sri Lanka v Australia

[Spark]

That legside square boundary (to Warner) is North Sydney "size".

 

[Second Spitter]

It's blasphemous that Warner wears the same number as Mike Piazza.

 

[Spark]

Geez Finch looks in good nick.

Geez Finch looks in good nick.

I expected those balls to just ram into his front pad.

 

[Burgey]

The impression we get over here is that the whole of Australia is on fire most of the time thanks to climate change - is this not correct?

In summer, yes. Mind you, we had the AC on three weeks ago. Didn’t have an autumn this year

 

[Starfighter]

The boundary would be a bit longer if the advertising screens weren't two metres in front of the permanent fence for no reason whatsoever.

 

[Gob]

Don't like this new Warner. Just smash Davey

 

[Daemon]

SL are bowling well and the openers still look so comfortable.

 

[Spark]

Bloody hell Finch is absolutely laying into these. Like throwdowns

 

[Daemon]

Finch is driving them like he’s getting throwdowns in the nets. Guaranteed a big one today.

Edit: dammit spark

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Been impressed with the way Arun has played. His front pad isn't looking anywhere near as canoeish as usual

 

[Spark]

Perhaps SL should rethink the whole "3-4 half volleys an over and some legside crap" tactic

 

[trundler]

Finch looks great. What's he doing differently?

 

[Spark]

Finch looks great. What's he doing differently?

Balance, weight transfer, head position etc. All the basics.

 

[trundler]

SL haven't been great with all the half volleys but it should be noted that short and wide wasn't working for Pakistan versus these 2 either.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Balance, weight transfer, head position etc. All the basics.

Not the fiercest attack he will ever face, but it's good to see him clearly doing some things much better technically

 

[trundler]

Balance, weight transfer, head position etc. All the basics.

Yeah, he just looks better and more composed now.

 

[Starfighter]

Get a move on Warner. Leaving runs on the board here.

 

[Burgey]

In other news, Parra need to play at BankWest every week ffs.

 

[Starfighter]

That is very, very lucky for us.
