Australia touring Sri Lanka? What an absolute doddle. Once the Aus forwards stampede over their stickly opponents, driving their ceyloned spines out of their anuses, they will simply stroll to the tryline unopposed. I see this comically poor opposition as **POOR PREPARATION** for the upcoming Bledisloe oh shit I've got the wrong threa
5th best (worst?)Is 117 the lowest winning first innings total since the advent of covered wickets?
Just when you think lessons have been learnt they put this shit up. So many batsmen threw their wickets away. Why was Warner rushed back? Marsh did ok in the tour games and hit his first test ton there so he might have been a better bet.
Two issues - rubbish against spin (still) and not respecting the opposition
I agree. Game was lost in the first Aus innings when Smith and others lost their wickets unnecessarily trying to hit certain bowlers out of the attack. Put their heads down and score something like 300 - 350 and they are likely to win the game.
