The only way we were getting a wicket
Bloke was a certainty for a century if he could keep batting, unfortunate for him
Just need to keep the game alive to the 50th over with 6 runs or more required.
Surprised we didn't try Marsh but I guess he isn't ready to bowl?
Sri Lanka says no.
Hazlewood with a pretty good caught and bowled
our batting left a lot to be desired too
wasn't until our # 6, 7 and 8 came in that we did anything
Finch was alright too but super slow
Yeah but who do we bring in
We would look way better if Agar and Zamps were our 2 spinners but both unavailable
Starc still injured
Cummins resting up for the more important Test series coming up (he maybe could have played?)
Fact is that after Agar and Zamps, we don't have any good spinners really
The notion this was a difficult pitch is clearly bullshit. Australia struggled against even their pace attack. They have belted ours.
Starc is apparently available they're refusing to play him until the tests.
Our rest policy has been a joke for years
They bowled a hell of a lot more spin than pace (only 13 overs of pace was bowled, 1 over of medium), we actually did alright against their pace, especially towards the end
Getting Starc right for the test series is more important
injuries have ruined our bowling attack unfortunately
We really need to find another spinner, hopefully that proves to be Sangha
Richardson has been a letdown this series but actually hasn't bowled terribly tonight gone for 38 off 8 overs, not terrible
Richo goes bang and bang, 2 in an over
they only need 7 form 15 though
ripper of a yorker
Richo the only bowler who can hold his head high tonight

Richo closes out the over, 7 from 12 needed
The lads are just dealing in yorkers now lol
7 from 11 needed, Hazlewood bowling
7 from 11 needed, Hazlewood bowling
Hazlewood misses the yorker, bowls it in the slot and punished for 6
Then misses the yorker with a full toss
pretty textbook display of why yorkers are so rare for us lol

Impressive performance by the Sri Lankan batsmen. They paced their innings well and never looked overly troubled.
Aussie bowling attack was poorly devised, you can’t rely on 20+ overs of all-rounders and part timers when you’re also banking on a second game spinner. They’ll need to make some changes.
Pleased with Jhye’s game - he hit some good areas on a fairly benign wicket. I wonder if dew played a factor, because the ball seemed to come on a lot better in the SL innings. I also saw a number of players wiping the ball with towels.

Starc isn't being rested at all.
Still requires bandaging on his cut hand which is his bowling hand.
As such, the rules prevent him from playing.
We've got 4 of our best bowlers out.
Why don't you tell us who should come in?
Was nothing wrong with our batting.
That was a good score on that deck.
With our current attack, we'd have needed another 60 runs.

Not just the ones that are out, even the backups are injured like Abbott, etc. We have been smashed with injuries and obviously Zampa being out is huge you aren't replacing his quality overnight, then Agar goes down.
