So Head is a much better bowler than Connolly. So Connolly isn't even part time standard then.

But when this was pointed out earlier you claimed it was just because of Aussie pitches not being spin friendly as to why he had such a bad record 😆

Josh Inglis off the field with a sore back. Didn't he get injured recently being a sub-fielder in Brisbane Test? Sounds like he needs to only field as keeper 😆

yep now i agree with you lol. Obviously i needed some (video) evidence first. Hes a hack in bowling. Much worse than Murph who he replaced(for the batting partly). Why wasnt these issues spotted in the nets at least? Strange. The Selectors time and time again prove they have no clue(e.g. picking Mitch Marsh when we now and selectors also knew he was injured from the 1st test - stuff them!). Batting maybe Connolly is ok ,so we will see his batting later.

Australia a good specialist spinner short this match.

Smith has been way too impatient in this session. Impossible to settle into any sort of plan when it keeps changing every over.

If Aus had batted 1st, they'd have got 350. So par is definitely above 300. But 'if' the pitch deteriorates quickly, then 250+ might just be enough.

Not sure who was saying that on the coverage (sound off), but I'd be surprised it that's right. Mendes isn't pronounced 'ez' in any Portugese dialect (though the vowel could've changed in 400 years) and it wouldn't be consistent with attempting to transcribe Sinhala within the limitations of the Latin script. And in videos I can find native speakers pronounce it 'Mendis'.
