Finch makes it seem so easy. It's all about the approach really and affecting the bowler's lengths

it is quite easy if one gets the basics right.

Hazlewood has improved so much since Australia dropped him from 2019 worldcup.

[Frustrated]

Lankan team is performing exactly like their economy.

a little better, but your point stands

Glad Shanaka is proving me right yet again. Kept saying during IPL that he deserves to be picked 

 

way better than other mediocre overseas like Wade CJ finch etc etc

 

would have been ideal replacement for coulter Nile at RR

[Nikola]

What a win for sri lanka!

[Norman]

That was some of the worst piece of death bowling I ever saw from both the Richardsons. Jhye atleast has the potential but i don't see why Australia keeps selecting this Kane guy. He's like Chris Jordan or Tom curran of England, who have conned everyone into thinking they're "specialist T20 bowlers".

where is billy stanlake? used to bowl at good pace also sams, meredith are better than kane lol.

 

Same with england they keep on selecting tom curran who hardly ever performed for them and jordon who rarely does. I am sure even random trundler who bowls good line and length can be better than both of them.

Stanlake sucks bro. Run machine. 

Meredith is decent. He is better than Kane imo but he goes for runs too. Kane can bat. That's the thing. They want someone who can slog and bowl decent. It's for balance. 

 

So it's either Kane with average bowling plus batting/hitting or Meredith with slightly better bowling but no batting. 

 

Jhye is a decent option. 

 

Jhye at 8

Cummins at 9

Starcy at 10

Hazelwood at 11. 

 

That should do it imo. Very good attack.

You forgot zampa. He is probably their most impactful bowler in limited overs. They will play 3 pacers + zampa + overs from stoinis/maxwell/marsh.

One things is for sure. Without hazlewood they are very bad.

I think it's high time that this Finch-Warner partnership is changed now. Travis Head is wasted in the middle order where he will face spin and needs to open like he did against Pakistan. He is more destructive against anything wide or short from fast bowlers compared to the current versions of Finch or Warner.

How come there is series going on in SL with so much financial crises

[nitinbwj]

SL has beaten Aus by 26 runs and the series is tied 1-1 with 3 more matches to go. Maxwell played a blinder last match else it could have easily been 2-0

SL did it without Hasaranga. Another young spinner performed for them. Happy for their team. Aus still carrying oldies like Smith in the team. 

[Lone Wolf]

Wow lankan crowd went ballistic in the end.  Amazing atmosphere.  Colorful flags & people.  Great win in the end.  Australia are a tough opposition in ODIs...  And they did it without Hasaranga.  Chameera was fast & accurate.
