Australia tour of Sri Lanka 2022 - Discussion Thread

[Majestic]

Australia have gone with 3 proper bowlers and 4 other bits and pieces bowlers to make up 20 overs throughout this series.

[rollingstoned]

Theekshana was what we were hoping Varun C would be.

Cummins is just doing wild slog

I was about to post the same. Their No 11 hit 3 fours with timing and skill. Our tail is a joke. They don't even take their batting seriously. Aus fighting spirit shown by Cummins and Kuhnaman. Cummins might not have seen Kuhnaman bat and also refused singles. He could have hit a few I guess.

What a thriller it was!!! Aus hasn't played 40 overs of spin ever in their playing years. What a record. 

Amazing ODI series. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Great fightback by spinners. SL last won series against Aus in 2010.

Walege and the other lad Vandersay aren't bad either. Dhananjay De Silva too.

I am pretty sure he would have smoked chahal for 3-4 sixes in similar situation.

SL might have to play qualifiers still...  This series isn't part of super league. 

Where are the qualifiers being played. 

[rollingstoned]

Another great game which went down to the last ball. Very enjoyable series this and good on SL having won it regardless of conditions favoring them,.

Lanka is more fun to watch than India.

In IPL- No, an example was this season only.

 

Internationals - Possible.

[speedheat]

Unlike our drab team, Lankans are a joy to watch.

[speedheat]

Guys like Aslanka, Shanaka, Chamika, pathum, pathirana and that 150kph bowler are all exciting prospects worthy of an IPL contract.

Fabulous series win for lankans...  Amazing scenes.  Weirdly  it's their first bilateral ODI series win over Aussies in three decades. 

Hopefully they win the test series as well & do a favor on India.
