    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.

    Smith nudges past Mark Waugh on the list of top Australian run scorers and averages about 18 more than one of my personal favourite players.

    Pretty damn freaky. What a career he’s had.

      Remarkable for a middle order leggie to achieve what he has

        Indeed. Say what you want about the cheating, he didn’t cheat his way to over 8000 runs at 60. You can’t deny Root is the best batsman in the world at the moment but Smiths overall record is otherworldly. Just extraordinary stuff.

        In the meantime Virat Kohlis form has fallen off a cliff which is winding up the fuck you bloody brigade something beautiful.

          This really has it all. The attempted dirty slog over cow corner, the keeper losing his glove trying to run him out, the mix up between the batsmen when there was never in a million years an opportunity for a single, the bowler making an even bigger hash of things throwing the ball at the stumps instead of just dislodging the bails, and then to finish it off the non-striker giving the thumbs up to his partner. Superb cricket all round.

            @No-Quarter also love the batter down the strikers end turning looking dejected thinking his partner is gone for all money. Only to turnaround and see the runout never happened. Gold.

                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.

                        Bloody hell, mind boggling stuff.

                        He’s clearly as much Sri Lanka’s greatest cricketer as Paddles is ours ( well, Sangakkara was incredible too )

                              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.

                                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 )

                                  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 )

                                    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.

                                        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.
