Australian Tour to Sri Lanka - Jan 2025

[whufc]

Right so the openers are sorted out

4 and 5 sorted out

Much as i dont like Josh Inglis well batted awesome debut

Reckon it’s only horses for courses. Would be surprised if Head opened in the Ashes.

This is Carey’s worst nightmare though. He owns the spot and previously it was 100% his, now it’s 99% his. Labuschagne should be the one dropped if Inglis needs to stay in.

[Booney]

I can't see any reason as to why we are still batting here.

3/475 at lunch

Ussie 204*
Inglis 44* (tipping a debut ton)

Should have 680 with an hour to go to stumps, then declare

And right on cue- an Inglis hundred as predicted

[Corona Man]

I can't see any reason as to why we are still batting here.

Thinks it’s so Jayasuria can bring up his 200…

[mal]

A rarity
Khawaja born Pakistan
Inglis born England
Both non ozzie borns make a 100 in the same test

[RB]

I can't see any reason as to why we are still batting here.

Sap the Lankans' energy (and morale).

I would think Konstas will open in the WTC and in the Windies and will start the Ashes opening.
Labuschagne should be the one most in trouble and Green will be back playing as a batter only soon so can slot into 3.
Probably leaves it as Inglis v Webster for 6

True, they'd be fresh as a daisy right now

[The Dark Knight]

Inglis with a hundred on debut, the selectors get it right again, who would of thought!

As we have seen with Kontas, one decent innings doesnt give you a free drop kick

[amber_fluid]

Are we trying to get to 1000 runs or something?

[mots02]

They’ll declare at 650 or the rain, whatever comes first

[amber_fluid]

More ground staff than spectators

Had to bribe them with new polos to get them there though.

[Jim05]

How’s the Oompa Loompa medium pacer bouncing Starc.
No wonder Starc gave him a nice wink and smile

[RB]

Yeah like does the bloke realise he's going to have to bat?

Ordinary bowling and even worse fielding
Hopefully their batting is a lot better
