Apparently we're playing Sri Lanka again.
Labuschagne and Smith with tons. Australia 295 runs with 5 down approaching stumps on Day 1. Fairly successful outing so far.
How the turn tables, eh.
Sri Lanka a lead of 67 with 4 wickets in hand at the end of day 3. It's going to be damn hard for Australia from here - I don't think teams from outside the subcontinent handle conceding first innings leads.
Also, check out Lyon - 56 overs! He'll be wrecked ... and the first innings still isn't done.

Chandimal goes 6 6 to get to 200 with a no 11 at the other end. SL 554/9, lead by 190 and still batting. It's ridiculous - Australia bowled them out twice in 80 overs, and are now 180 overs in.
Lyon's rested, only 6 overs today. Swepson bowling plenty now. Carn Sri Lanka

Tests in Sri Lanka sure are high scoring affairs.
Makes Muralis 800 wickets even more impressive to be fair.

Murali bowled the msot balls in test cricket history. He worked for his wickets for sure. Dead set legend.

Oh for sure. Throwing or not his record is just fucken ridiculous. THIRTY more Michelles than Warnie……
Here’s another stat. Very good bowlers like Bob Willis, Joel Garner, Jason Gillespie, Brett Lee, Morne Morkel and Neil Wagner ( I love Wags ) never got ten wickets in a match….Murali did it TWENTY TWO times !!!!
Bloody hell, mind boggling stuff.
He’s clearly as much Sri Lanka’s greatest cricketer as Paddles is ours ( well, Sangakkara was incredible too )

well, well well, didnt see that coming, Australia collapse and lose. The Smith review was extremely comical

That's a rapid collapse, last I looked they were 40/0 and cruising at about three and a half an over...

Jayasuria had them in all sorts.
Speaking of reviews, when Labuschagne was plum LBW, he wanted to review it badly. Him and Green discussed it and it looked like Green talked him out of it. Labuschagne is worst than Watson when it comes to reviews.

Think how many more wickets Warnie might have got if he didn’t have McGrath down the other end taking over 500 of the bastards.

Yep, not for a second taking away how utterly amazing Paddles was……but he didn’t have anyone even close at the other end……like not even Southee/Boult/Wags good.

Crumbs, that’s a hell of a collapse for the Australians there.
@NTA what happened ?
( please note this is not a @Virgil type dig, genuine question )
they spent 180 overs in the field, then had to go in to bat on a turning track with tired legs.
Test Cricket 101.

Think of how many I would have got if I was actually any good at cricket
Seriously though, you're right - but Warne didn't have to bowl at the good Aussie batsmen either. It's like Paddles - there were more wickets available, but you do a LOT more bowling as a result.

Yeah but that Australian top order has become very strong. Woulda thought one of them would have stepped up.

I saw the first wicket of Warner. He tried to sweep a ball, missed and the ball was hitting middle stump. Reviewed anyway. Ball was doing a bit, but I didn't see the next 9 wickets; it went to a break and I had family commitments.
@NTA may have watched of course

neither do I. It's not on the regular sporting channels here.
Sorry @MN5 can't help
No probs. We’ll just have to come to the conclusion that Australian cricket is on a decline like the Black Caps. Sweet.

nope, but a drawn series makes it damn hard to make the WTC final. Big loss for them.
