Australia tour of Sri Lanka 2022 - Discussion Thread

[Frustrated]

SL into the lead now

[Frustrated]

Another poor decision by dharmasena.  Thanx to DRS.   He should not be umpiring at all.  

[rageaddict]

Chandimal gets his double ton and has given a phainty to Starc. Looks like a very talented batsman who couldn't fulfil his potential.

Sri lanka might win this test now with session and day left.

[The Realist]

SL all over Aus 74/4

 

Smith duck

Is this a 2 test or 3 test series?

Kya ho raha hai bhai rofl. Bro but losing that last test vs englnd is still boiling my blood. Honestly can never forgive these chumps. We choked hard for no reason. We'll deserved for carrying passengers in batting and not picking one bounce based bowler like prasidh.

They arent asking for your forgiveness. You can bend down and look upwards like padosis. Boiling blood will calm down by stupid acts

Lol Aussies on the cusp of innings defeat.

Every now and then Sri Lanka gets these spinners who comes and causes havoc and disappears. Ashwin and Co must be licking their lips and message is loud and clear.. make turning wickets.. pakistan shot themselves in foot by preparing roads.. in roads Smith Labu Head Warner Khawaja are kings.. in turner against high quality spin circa Ashwin Jaddu Axar it will be a monstrous struggle.. the problem is our batting barring Rohit Pant and Jadeja are duds.. 

[The Realist]

Sri Lanka won by an innings and 39 runs.

 

Aus innings lasted just 41 overs and lost 9 wickets in the final session on Day 4.

 

Epic collapse.

Get rid of kohli

Get rid of pujara

Get rid of poor opener.

Gill should be in number 4

[Lone Wolf]

Massive win for Lankans...  This Jayasurya guy looks like a genuine spinner..  Not too slow as well. 

If they do beat Poyzz as well...  India's chances of WTC increase as well.   Time for Buddhist Brethren to help out the big brother. 

[coffee_rules]

Wow! 12 wickets on debut. Prabhat Jayasuriya played his first match at the age of 30

[vvvslaxman]

Even in the later half of Australia's first innings, pitch was  getting tougher for Australia. Ball was spitting like cobra. Due to familiarity of t these surfaces they weathered Lyon's threat.

yes, spinning pitches are the way to go, but not outright massive turners where likes of O'Keefe, Root, etc. end up taking wickets. on spin pitches, only Smith and Khawaja can play.

 

as for us, we need to hope that glass-man sundar is also recovered. he can be 3rd/4th spinner and add batting depth.
