More than enough IMO

Lankans 4/281 off 50

More than enough IMO

Thought the same and its going that way, Aus 3/34, Head 18 and Short and Fraser-McGuirk fail too.

Seriously, who has JFM got photos of?

Seriously, who has JFM got photos of?

He doesn’t even look like making runs

[dedja]

It's a mystery to me, the game commences.

[northerner]

So two main takeaways from these two one dayers...
1. How well we planned (including selection) for the Test matches.
2. We are sending the worst OD squad in many years to an ICC tournament . Three of the 15 should never represent Australia ever again... Short, Sangha and the most over-hyped sack of no talent to ever represent Oz, Fraser-McGurk.
That leaves 12 to try and choose a competitive unit and that includes guys like Dwarhouis and the wildly out of form Labuschagne.

Terrible dismissals
Look like they don’t give a shit either

[dedja]

Thank you SL for giving a shit, well deserved.

[The Dark Knight]

Sri Lanka win by 174 runs, Russell Arnold said that's Sri Lanka's biggest win against Australia in ODI's.
Also Australia's lowest ODI score is Asia.

I will preface this with not knowing much about the makeup of the side.

But are we taking this even half seriously?

Hardie? Dwarshuis? Friggen terrible!

I don't know much about the side but I do know that Inglis is NOT good against spin. Twice I've seen him play back to an arm ball.

And he's not the worst of our batsman!
