3rd ODI Sri Lanka v Australia @ Pallakele Stadium June 19 1830hrs

[Moonwatcher]

2 off the Kuhnemann over

 

[Torz]

Why is our mid off at extra cover?

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Gee, how wide was mid off there.

 

[CakeEater]

Can feel Labs knicking 1 here

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Some real loose trash coming out from the spinners the last few overs. Criminal, on a helpful pitch like this.

 

[freo_leo29]

Honestly, they are killing us right now

we batted waaaay slower and we aren't even taking extra wickets to make up for it

 

[Moonwatcher]

Not looking good

 

[Torz]

Showing the difference between frontline and part time spinners so far.

That number 3/4 spot is up for grabs. Smith bats at one of them, but Marnus, Marsh, Inglis or even Green could bat there. Bloody Carey better not be batting at 5 in the World Cup next year. Of course, Finch gets out as I write this. Head will get out as he's not great against spin, and yet we've sent him in to bat against the spin. Good old Australia. Sending batsmen in at their non-preferred position and not maximising them since 1877.

You should be a selector…

 

[Titch3Votes0MooreAA]

Get Tanveer Sangha in.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Agar would be unplayable on this deck

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Get Tanveer Sangha in.

Not ready and there’s zero rush. Let the bloke develop

 

[Torz]

Mendis is a good bat. Feels like he has struggled in recent years, but when he’s on, he’s class.

Helps when our bowling line up is trash in this game

 

[Manbearpig77]

They'll get this in a canter I think.

Poor series from us so far.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Any risk of putting a few dots together?

 

[Doggy]

Their best lineup vs our C grade attack

 

[freo_leo29]

Richo finally bowls a good ball

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Been some chase happy for SL.

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Do I stay awake for the whole thing tonight? Sleep schedule demolished by the cricket

 

[Doggy]

Nope. Our C grade bowling line-up is getting destroyed

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Fielding not flash either

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Maxwell done his hammy too

This is going so well..

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Least Green has bowled well

 

[Torz]

This has been frustrating to watch. You can’t expect to get 20 overs out of batsmen.

Hasn’t helped that Kuhnemann has dragged the ball short way more often today.
