    *Official* Australia Tour of West Indies 2025

    Haven't seen much of Campbell previously but is he usually more aggressive than he showed today? I know he was facing high-quality pace bowling but having him and Brathwaite as such a passive opening pair was just asking for trouble. As Carty & King showed there are opportunities to score...

    *Official* Australia Tour of West Indies 2025

    Wow, as soon as Head comedy in Khawaja looks a completely different batsman.

    *Official* Australia Tour of West Indies 2025

    As poor as his record outside Oz was, this start shows that Australia still miss Warner. Even if he only got 30 or so, at least there would be some attacking impetus. The top 3 here looked as passive as you're likely to get from an Oz top order.

    *Official* Australia Tour of West Indies 2025

    Not only 3 wickets have fallen in this first 80 minutes, but barely an authoritative shot from any Oz batsman.

    *Official* Australia Tour of West Indies 2025

    Think Seales should be going over the wicket with this shape he's getting to Khawaja.

    Konstas out LBW to Joseph after DRS overturned Not Out decision. Thought was poor decision by umpire, looked out live.

    *Official* WTC FINAL Australia vs South Africa 2025

    I knew Warner was fairly ordinary in the closing stages of his career but didn't realise he averaged less than Geoff Marsh.

    *Official* WTC FINAL Australia vs South Africa 2025

    Yep. From 1999/00 to 2002/03 provided really good insight. He used to contribute online during matches on websites like wisden.com and was good value there too. I'm guessing the change was partly because Australia were so dominant at home in that period that he became almost contemptuous of...

    He basically did what Warner did on overseas tours for most of his career; quickfire cameos that get side off to bright start but it's up to others to apply the substance.

    Bryce McGain would be a contender for Oz debutants this century

    Unsurprisingly meek batting effort by Sri Lanka here; they've been miles off it all series.

    **Official** Australia in Sri Lanka Jan - Feb 2025

    He barely averaged 20 against Australia.

    Don't think Sri Lanka have had a home Test opening partnership reach 40 against Australua since 2011.

    Starc's batting seems to have gone down a level last 18 months or so.

    Can't really remember what the conventional wisdom was, except perhaps not to sweep and to use your feet to get to the ball as much as possible (Ian Chappell was a big advocate of that iirc)?

    Most impressive part of this partnership is how they've consistently milked the strike in-between the boundary shots; think there's only been two maidens throughout the partnership and they've never been under any sustained pressure at any stage.

    **Official** Australia in Sri Lanka Jan - Feb 2025

    Top class partnership this. Went from match being relatively level to Oz in a commanding position in less than a session.

    **Official** Australia in Sri Lanka Jan - Feb 2025

    Seems to be a pitch that for periods of time like an hour it looks as docile as anything. Happened yesterday as well. Not necessarily all in relation to how new the ball was.

    **Official** Australia in Sri Lanka Jan - Feb 2025

    How on earth did the umpire not give that? Been a low standard the umpiring this series.

    **Official** Australia in Sri Lanka Jan - Feb 2025

    That Peiris dismissal looks even worse on replay; tried to block a half-volley and somehow missed it.
