Australia tour of Sri Lanka (July-September 2016)

Smith's début in test as specialist spinner and took 3 wickets, bats lower down but his story is same like Ashwin,who was once opening batsmen
In domestic cricket.

Honestly, who cares? Is Steve Smith a batsmen or legspinner now?! Henriques is an all-rounder. Sorry dude, but you need to do your research at the same time and get your thoughts together. Your tremain and zampa, patterson had nothing to do with your reply to me.[DOUBLEPOST=1471224044][/DOUBLEPOST]
I told you I am new here
So when I response to other comments about zampa,Hezalett,Patterson,Dunk,Tremain etc..was mix with your's post.
I think I need to study more about why Quotes comments misplaced somewhere else.
Apple and pare 'SAGA' happen in your case.

What the heck are you talking about??!!!!!!!
 
100 for Marsh :)

1st 200 runs partnership for us in Asia since 2011!

100 for Smith :)
 
Aus should have essentially made about 450/ 500 after being at such a strong position, but i guess they threw it away. I'm wondering what Voges average in Test cricket when he retires.
SL: It's going to be tough to replace someone as special as Herath. Why, he even gave Sri lanka a few overseas victories.

What do you expect with Voges at 4 and Henriques at 5? They're pretty much playing with 7 tailenders.

Henriques played well in India in 2013, and Voges seems capable of taking on spin. Mitch Marsh also seems good as well. Some may be tail-enders, but they are GOOD tail-enders

Voges ain't bad. As for Henriques god knows why they selected him as a Batsman.
 
Nothing more than 131 has ever been chased successfully at the SSC.
 
Great knock by Silva. They might just drop Karunaratne after this series and promote Dhanaja de Silva. But the truth is, if you put their subcontinent flaws behind them, Aus are the best in the world.
 
Lunch:Aus need 247 runs to win with nine wickets in hand!
 
Australian team is tasting their own medicine these days. Good to see a Young Srilankan side totally outplayed them.

Aussies may well be no.1 test side as far as ranking is concerned but since the time their legends have left the game. The side appears to be only a home based champion both in one days and test matches.

They need some solid batsmen in the middle order. Their bowling is fine though. Starc has all the potential to be one of the greats but only he can't win matches for them

The kind of stumping attempt Peter Nevil did clearly indicates the team overall confidence on their ability to win matches. It may well be right in cricketing books but you can't just run a bulldozer in the spirits of sports.. How desperately they wanted to save a 3-0 but even Such clever tactics couldn't save them from an embarrassing defeat. The tactic was plain shame..

It was within the rules mate , Nothing wrong with it.
Bad match awareness by Dimuth.

Why would you put the subcontinent flaws behind? If an Asian team loses in seam friendly conditions, they're called flat track bullies and so on. If a team wants to be the best, they have to perform well in all conditions.[DOUBLEPOST=1471433456][/DOUBLEPOST]

I told you @Umair2000 @UMCricket . The seven tailenders collapsed yet again.
 
Smith got what he deserves. He will get more when he comes to India. Kohli will be Demon for Aussies. Waiting for Smith-dish.[DOUBLEPOST=1471434509][/DOUBLEPOST]

Every team has lost their Legends. SriLanka didn't have Murali, Mahela, Kumar but still they played like a unit and gave a mouth breaking answers to Mr. RUDE Smith.

We shouldn't be too confident. Smith and co will learn from their mistakes and will come back stronger. They know that Indians are much more stronger than Lankans and they will be ready to face us.

They will never learn. Smith is a backyard Dog.
