Correct was ChandiMal
Hard to keep up watching 2 Test cricket matches

[locky801]

Like this attacking style of batting from the Lankans, least making the gmae interesting to watch

[am Bays]

Carey bloody lucky there.

Carey bloody lucky there.

true but he has kept brilliantly this test

[Brodlach]

Both games last wicket stands are so frustrating

Is 15 wickets in a day a record for us?

[The Dark Knight]

Australia's biggest win in Asia (forth largest in runs overall) and Sri Lankas biggest innings defeat.

I know it was Day 1 and Aust will face a tougher examination of spin as the match goes on but fair dinkum Sri Lanka today looked like a 3rd Grade SACA Premier Team
Their only plan that was partially successful was for a short time to restrict the scoring by bowling 2 foot outside Leg Stump to a packed Leg side Field Aust should make 600 then declare and roll these muppets by an Innings

I don't often get a chance to Brag so stuff it

[mal]

The men won about 90 seconds after the girls beat England today
Exciting day

As for jackpot jAm ...

[spell_check]

One thing I noticed, that everyone in this match who made at least 4 in an innings, scored at least one boundary. I'd like to know if that's a record myself.

I hardly watched any of the days play yesterday due to playing cricket myself and just watched the highlights on the Sri Lankan cricket YouTube channel. I know Sri Lanka played poorly and some of the dismissals you'd be disappointed with at club level but I'm stoked Kuhnemann got wickets and same with Lyon after not having to do much during the BGT, both obviously outperformed their SL counter parts.

Starc with a cheeky 2/13 and 1/14 too getting his bunny Karunaratne out again and took with 700th international wicket too, joining Warne, McGrath and Lee at the mark. I wonder if he'll play the second test? Or he'll be swapped with Boland? I guess it depends on the conditions/pitch, the second test pitch might be more of a ragger than the first test's?

I assume the top 7 will remain the same, almost everything worked for the Aussies, Labuschagne would want a decent score right about now.

The only thing I took out of that was there's a Sri Lankan Cricket youtube channel, but shouldn't be surprised you watch it!

There's a YouTube channel for all the major cricket boards, I just searched it on YouTube and the highlights came up.
