Australia v Sri Lanka; 2nd Test @ Manuka Oval Feb 1-5.

All out for under 200.

Kudos to Cummins and Richardson, both seem to be smart bowlers. They generally bowl fast enough to cause problems but not lose accuracy.

Then, when you do that, you still have the surprise fast ball/spell up your sleeve, just adds more tools to your pace weaponry.

Lyon's f**king clueless with his reviews. He thinks everything's out. That missed by f**king miles

Was a very good review. Thought the only problem was where it hit.. and thought it was out as soon as it showed hitting in line.. no way you can predict it turning from off to half a metre outside leg.

 

[Goodbye]

Commentators on their hands and knees for starc once again.

 

[OffTheBit]

That one was for those claiming PCum was mentally affected. Absolute skirt wearers

 

[Sylvia Saint]

I'm pretty sure that's unplayable. Would have hit the middle of bat without deviation. What are you meant to do?

 

[Jimthegreat]

You were saying it Jim - bit more of creativity and variety was needed

Thanks!

 

[archibald]

Straightened up a bit. Great ball.

What a shame Topkent is missing this bounce and turn from Lyon and some seam movement from Cummins.

Nah he's right, you can totally judge a pitch on day 2 of a test....

What is a "skirt wearer" ?

 

[OffTheBit]

What is a "skirt wearer" ?

Someone who wears skirts

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Starc right now at fine leg...

Yeah I thought it was hitting outside the line live. No way it was turning that much to miss leg by as much DRS had it missing.

 

[Sproj]

Has this pitch just started coming to life? Lyon suddenly bowling grenades.

 

[Goodbye]

Get a wicket, quick.. put starc back into the attack.

What the f*** is this

 

[Coasters7]

We’re too close to winning.. need to give the Lankans a chance by bringing Starc back

 

[Andrew Mc]

Same - thought would be perhaps clipping, but outside the line was my main doubt.

 

[swanssince2002]

All the pressure Lyon and Cummins produced... now you put Starc in.

2 boundaries... tho 1 is an edge.

 

[archibald]

'Starc cannot take a trick'. It's cause he bowls all over the shop JB you simpleton.

 

[k31th]

boundary boundary... Starc's on again

 

[imperial_oz]

Starc is back, wide outside off and to the fence

Twice

Welcome back Starcy </sarcasm>

 

[Andrew Mc]

The first ball he bowled bounced and turned a mile. Has showed plenty.

 

[Gough]

Good news.

 

[Lynnsanity]

Batted as if he was tired all morning

Could you imagine if it was Lynn who had carried his bat for an entire days play? He’d need a month off considering he is burnt out from a dozen 20 over games played over the last 6 weeks

 

[Stax on the mill]

F..k me! Pressure released. These commentators insist on assessing Starc solely on the pace he’s bowling at, as if nothing else matters. Lack of line, length, swing, movement, run rate not getting a mention.

 

[The Convert]

Funny how the commentators (Glenn) are criticizing Richos line more than starcs

Not funny just logical. Make them play
