Excellent double khawaja

 

[Samsquanch]

Jayasuriya with 16 overs on the trott

Coming in off the short walk up though.

 

[SpiderBurton22]

Ussie's in fine company. His 1st Test double ton takes him past Jason Gillespie's highest score of 201*.

At the MCG and glad I was in my seat for the start.

Thought there'd be a few more there, might be better served playing at a smaller venue.

Poor scheduling for this W Ashes. There are only family and friends in those stands and one fella from big footy

Don't know Melbourne too well but Junction oval would've made more sense. I went to a WBBL game at the WACA this season which has a capacity of about 7000 ATM, I think there was 4k plus at the game and the atmosphere was great.

The best leggy in Australia ATM.

Junction Oval is a cracker ground. The game should have been scheduled before Aus day whilst kids were still on Holidays. Thats the point im making

Roger. I think they were probably banking on people being more interested in the short format.

 

[Flawed Genius]

The Sri Lankans are genuinely useless.

 

[DuckYeah]

The Sri Lankans are genuinely useless.

Do they play any other sports that they are good at? What has happened to them?

 

[shinboner magic]

Pitches like this is why test cricket in Asia have no crowds.

If smith was from Asia he’d average over 70

I hope they can bat.

Yes, it's a show pitch but Fernando can't be their best seamer. The spinners all just wander in and float the same ball in every delivery. They never alter their pace and the only time they changed their line was yesterday when they decided to pitch everything outside leg.

The fielding has been terrible, there's no energy in the field. The captain's use of DRS is very bad and his field placings are pretty much "spread out."

Apart from that they've been good.

 

[Sillygit]

and the english stay true to form and crumble

Atrocious. The amount of times I've seen "80/81/82km/h" from their spinners. The bloke is dead set walking in! If Khawaja wanted to I reckon he'd end up breaking Lara's record.

 

[Sillygit]

and it's leg theory from the only guy bowling at pace, brilliant

 

[Nate7]

When to declare? Or just bat for 4 days then bowl?

 

[DuckYeah]

WTH was that?

 

[Sillygit]

Hope webster gets a go, and not at all cause my multi needs him to score at least 20

"fella"

lol

 

[Flawed Genius]

Jayasuriya has bowled an entire one dayer of slow left arm help yourself and the actual second he bowls a quicker one he gets a wicket.
