*Official* Sri Lanka Tour of Australia 2019

[Burgey]

Should have played India in Brisbane tbh.

Although. It’s Australia’s Chennai so they may have felt at home.

Happy for Richardson. Always good to see someone do well on dayboo.

Of course, be nice if it was one of ohrbatsmen for a change, but still

^ I'm pretty sure Patterson will go well on debut

 

[vcs]

I like the fact that they played in Perth.

When India tour, I generally want them to play in the venues that are traditionally a stronghold for the hosts, like Perth, Brisbane, Edgbaston, Jo'burg etc.

Wait, how is MKR on Monday night at seven when the test is meant to be on? Fmd I’ll have to record it.

 

[Starfighter]

The keep talking about how hot it is. It's 31 with a 19 dew point, 48% humidity. Hardly exceptional for a Brisbane summer's day. Heat index is 32.


Damn, that would have been a special catch had it been taken.

 

[Burgey]

Looked harder than it was. Should have been taken at this level.

You're worried about the Test at the end of day 4, you think too much (as if it will last that long)

 

[Burgey]

It’s day five. But that’s not the point. I need my cricket and my Paleo Pete Evans smugness

 

[aussie tragic]

I'm really glad Sri Lanka won the toss and batted

 

[Burgey]

Man, backward point is so in the game
With Lyon bowling to the lefties and getting so much bounce

 

[aussie tragic]

This is now the 4th time today I've heard about how Steve Waugh introduced the baggy green issue from former players. Were Flem and McGrath former radio hosts who just assume people are just tuning in

Yeah it's not the 34 that was predicted and it's probably about 20% lower humidity than most days here. It was hotter yesterday.

It's been a pretty mild summer up here ITBT. Most days have been maxing out under 30 so far.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Man, I feel for Sri Lanka.

New Zealand was the valiant fight. They lost their talisman in the battle and are now going to get battered and bruised in Australia and still have to come to South Africa.

Didnt Sri Lanka just tour south Africa a couple of years ago?

 

[stephen]

Well there is one thing that the Indians did that the Lankans are emulating here - they're only scoring at 2 rpo.

I was shocked CA XI and SL both agrred to bat 75 overs in the practice game and at the end SL was about 140 runs behind

 

[aussie tragic]

The worst part about SL being 6-91 is that Australia will have to bat the session under lights on the first day lively pitch...cunning plan SL

 

[Burgey]

Why are thee two drinks breaks per session?

 

[StephenZA]

2016/17... so about right if you consider a 2 year rotation. More about the LO's unfortunately.

 

[aussie tragic]

Because it's too hot so two drink breaks 40 mins apart

 

[aussie tragic]

Get them out, break their thumb, all good
