Test 1st Test Australia v Sri Lanka 29 Jun - 03 Jul 2022 @ Galle

[Plugger35]

Tough run chase coming up.

 

[freo_leo29]

Head with 4/10 lol

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Head look way more dangerous than Swepson

 

[Bedi]

Umpire not doing Head any favours is he

 

[Moonwatcher]

22.5 overs the least number of overs faced by Sri Lanka in a Test innings.

 

[Scott03]

Too bad they don't keep track of overturned decisions per umpire. Kumar would have to be more than every other umpire combined

 

[giggler99]

What! I just got back from a walk and this match is now all but over!

 

[Moonwatcher]

All 10 wickets to spin, that wouldn't have happened with Australia bowling too often.

 

[Has No Rules]

22.5 overs lol

 

[KBLT]

4/10 jfc, Sri Lanka made Head look like Murali.

 

[Copernicus]

Ffs Travis, denying the GOAT his ten-fer.

What a ludicrous display of batting.

 

[Moonwatcher]

What! I just got back from a walk and this match is now all but over!

Dangerous little 5 run target.

 

[NSWCROW]

This one's for Travis of Adelaide

Both were meaningful innings but Usman’s was the closest one to being ‘built.’ Green is a class player but again his innings galloped along as though his plan was simply to be aggressive.

You can’t bag guys for doing it and succeeding - it’s a lot better than the alternative - but same as Dickwella in the first innings it wasn’t a nuanced knock where he’s had to come up with multiple methods and manoeuvred his way through the innings. It’s not a shot at australia they’ve done it better than Sri Lanka have. It seems to be a trend in the cricket I’ve watched when the conditions are very spin friendly.

Green only hit 6 boundaries in his 77. It wasn't defensive but it was basically a bunch of singles and twos along the ground to blokes on the fence. I certainly wouldn't call it aggressive.

 

[darcytiger]

Is that five LBW decisions that were given not out and overturned on review for Australia now?

Disgraceful

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Travis Warne

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

The **** just happened

 

[BACCS]

Least number over overs Sri Lanka have batted in any innings in their history (22.5 overs). Head with 4/10, wtf

 

[Bletch]

Maybe, just maybe, when you're batting is brittle, it might be a good idea to produce a flat track.

 

[frankrizzo]

the **** was that?

Not complaining but damn that was crazy.

 

[Peter Doherty]

No one stands a chance against Head when he bowls like this.

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Don’t know why, you would reverse sweep in test cricket

 

[gordo2016]

Sri Lankan batting coach.

Too bad they don't keep track of overturned decisions per umpire. Kumar would have to be more than every other umpire combined

The ICC actually do keep a track and its used to rank umpires and decides who is kept on the elite panel. Its odd for Kumar to have had such a bad game but thats what reviews are for especially on a spinning deck

The gaul of the man
