Australia vs. Sri Lanka - 1st Test - Jan 2019

[Flash10]

**** off Usman

We are in dire straights if he is our most senior batsman.

But hey Peter Siddle is also our most senior bowler in this squad.

 

[Magma]

wonder if young will is sitting there saying no mr langer, i wouldnt cut a straight ball.

 

[weetert]

What a waste of talent Khawaja has been, Avg 50+ in all 3 of our domestic comps and just can't convert.

 

[Wedge McManus]

Hussey plugging the sh*t out of Harris here. Saying how solid he's looking how switched on etc. Do you want him to get out Huss??? Classic commentators curse

 

[010203]

Notice how a Warney-less commentary team NEVER mentions Marcus Stoinis ever

Don't forget Stoinis brings a lot to the table. That's really important apparently

 

[Park cricketer]

I’d be interested to know which of their pie chuckers they think is going to roll through the Aussie batting lineup 8 times.

Everyone hangs shit on Starc in Australia and all 3 of the NZ quicks are worse versions of him.

Boult much better.

 

[010203]

When was the last time NZ beat Australia in a test series?

85/86. Their win in Hobart in 2011 was their 1st against Australia since Eden Park 1991..

 

[bird_man]

Harris looks very impressive. He's got a solid technique, especially that defence. Good to watch. Just needs to know when to cut and when to leave.

 

[BACCS]

Finally Gaz can make his well deserved 200

A few plates of beans on toast and a dirty rotten pizza - wins Shane over every time.

Very important

 

[NSWCROW]

Oh you gotta hold them

 

[to1994]

Umm we're talking 1 on 1 here. They don't beat Australia champ, just admit it.

A grand sample of 5 Tests across how many years? And they were all played within the same 3 month period. I don't think it's fair to cling to those results when New Zealand have arguably improved since then while we've gotten worse.

 

[HBF]

That would have been some catch.

 

[swanssince2002]

Inb4 Lyon replicates Gillespie's double century!

 

[Kram]

There's just something about him!

 

[The Speaker]

When was the last time NZ beat Australia in a test series?

1989/90. So what? India had never beaten Australia in Australia until they did. The longer time goes on, the more likely it is. This is the best NZ team ever, and definitely not the best Australian team ever. The fact that you are unwilling to even consider the possibility suggests that you are more interested in being parochial than anything else.

I think Shane thinks he is Italian descent and he will bring spaghetti!

 

[Wedge McManus]

There's just something about him!

I think warne's only thinking about one thing with Stoinis...ewwww

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Not a bad days work Aussies.

 

[Pykie]

Boult much better.

Accept he’s not.

They are both boundary machines.

Warner would get a hold of him at least twice in a 4 game series.

 

[danielnajdek]

Thank **** we have Harris this summer. Only positive in our batting.

 

[Wedge McManus]

Nadal you beauty!!!!

 

[Wedge McManus]

Accept he’s not.

Warner would get a hold of him at least twice in a 4 game series.

He'd probably take wickets though. On his day he's a gun bowler

 

[gordo2016]

There's just something about him!

He also enjoys the challenge and wants to be involved in the crucial moments. Truly unique cricketer.
