20th Match - Sri Lanka v Australia

[Daemon]

Now we're talking

 

[Second Spitter]

Go nuts, go crazy.

 

[Gob]

No prob

 

[Burgey]

If Finch gets to a ton here he’s gonna go large. Talking 170-200 large.

 

[Starfighter]

That's a bit more like it.

 

[Second Spitter]

Who has a more punchable face, David Warner or Ted Cruz?

 

[Spark]

I still maintain the near-beamer is a legitimate wicket-taking option

 

[Arachnodouche]

Smith gets into some hideous positions in his follow through.

Scott Morrison

Malinga's bowling in the low 120s. Need some serious balls to bowl bouncers to batsmen of this quality at that pace.

But never unbalanced, as ungainly as he looks.

Feels like the slower balls are basically too slow, the batsman has time to react

 

[Starfighter]

Siriwardana bowling Allan Borders here.

Always thought one somewhere around the shins could get wickets against certain batsmen.

He usually gets some wicked dip with them though, which is what gets the batsmen rather than the change in pace itself.

Oh yeah but they're so slow that you can literally just adjust as you notice the trajectory changing

 

[Starfighter]

Malinga's bowling reminds me of the clips of Ray Lindwall near the end of his career. Same distinctive action but so much slower.

 

[Spark]

Wow that's indisciplined

 

[Starfighter]

This pitch is a lot drier than it looks at first glance.

It's the Oval, tbf. A pudding at the best of times.

Aus on for north of 350. Reckon Maxwell comes to the party today.
