*Official* Australia tour of Sri Lanka 2022

[Starfighter]

Finally got the opportunity to watch the highlight. Geez that was a couple of horrendous dismissals from Australia. Can't afford to lose wickets to utter stupidity.

If the pitch is damp, the spinners may enjoy it. It will grip and turn sharply at least for a bit now if they start playing soon.

That'd be nice, I hear they hated it yesterday

 

[Burgey]

Few things more frustrating than seeing the sun shining down and the pitch uncovered but no play, presumably because of a wet outfield.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Shocked that Travis Head made that many runs tbh

 

[morgieb]

Head should've remained injured ITBT

Does my head in that batsmen are treated as a protected species re. incumbency. So you can leave out Hazlewood, one of the best 5 bowlers in the world, because of conditions, that's fair enough. But when you've got Head, who a baked potato with a hat on could tell you will be useless in these conditions, as the incumbent he's undroppable? They've got Maxwell who would be perfect here sitting on the bench as well.

Why is horses for courses only applicable to bowlers

It's a batsman's game.

 

[Burgey]

Thought this might be a bit high

 

[Burgey]

Jeez that's tight. Pretty lucky.

 

[Daemon]

If Head makes it to 20 I'll quit my job to run a travelling Travis Head cheer squad. No danger though

Impressive

Green sweeping alot more than I'm use to seeing him do in redball, doesn't look particularly confident doing it either.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Impressive

It would have been paying about 1.02

My next prediction, Starc will make 30+

 

[Starfighter]

tbh, while the sweep is a very productive and disruptive shot if you're good at it, if you're not you're better off sticking to playing straight.

Theoretically Green could use his height to negate the variations in length, but he doesn't move his feet all that much.

 

[Nintendo]

40 (59) already, this partnership is ticking along really nicely.

 

[Burgey]

Yeah, as much as Green is looking pretty damn unconvincing, he's being more proactive here than he has been in loads of knocks in far more friendly conditions.

Was about to say if green is gonna continue to bat 6 would rather see him be 20(30 ) than 20(80). Looks much better when he's positive.

Is Usman the best Test opener in the world? Only back for a couple series but he really hasn't set a foot wrong

 

[Shady Slim]

hah would you look at that travo head ****in sucks who'd have thought

Probably has Latham and Warner beat for tough runs already.
