And despite his 80 yesterday, the new all rounder isn’t up to it either imo. Won’t be quite good enough as either bat or ball.

Put Carey in - having Paine in the team is like the Australian team having Healy play tests when Gilchrist was hitting all those runs in the one dayers.

That Wade one seemed more like a team prank than anything. He's a keeper by trade after all.

Lol Paine, lol Smith, lol at the Australian obnoxious way of playing cricket.

Fine and suspend those 2, it's embarrassing. This is how the next generation of kids are being taught as the way to play cricket? ****ing disgusting and Australian cricket should be ashamed of itself

Paine likely loses his place this year, tricky who they make captain, perhaps Lyon?

SL v Eng 2 test series starts tomorrow morning, plenty of rain expected for the first test but England should still win, SL unfortunately weak in red ball cricket

Expect Aus to win the final test v a battered India who are struggling in their hotels...

So there was a tweet saying that Dom Bess' bowling should have got 0.18 wickets on his merit alone yet he got 5-30

Sri Lanka should be on his Chriatmas card list

Oh Jesus. They don’t do xG for cricket now, do they? At least it makes more sense than doing it for football.
He got a crazy ricochet wicket, that’s for sure

Sri Lanka will never have a decent team unless they make some drastic changes to how domestic cricket is run.

There are too many first class teams which are comfortably paid. It's easy enough to get on the scene because the excess of teams and no incentive to excel because pay is good and won't really be any better for the national team. There is no competitiveness at domestic level.

Everything that is put into cricket in Sri Lanka is done in Colombo meaning that they are restricting the pool of potential players they are drawing from.

This is the 4th time that Root has failed to convert a 200+ score into a 300. Really needs to work on his conversion rate. Poor.

Aus cricket is incredibly unlikable at the first sign of pressure it's disgusting.

"The Test" on amazon prime was a charade.

England are lucky Sri Lanka didn't set them 120.

Eng looked fairly comfortable in the end, and that's with the best batter being run out. Still, chasing 140 odd would have been interesting.

I've said it before in this thread, but if he's not keeping wicket it's amazing to me that Wade keeps getting picked.

Posted this in my lounge containment thread

Cricket fielding positions starting with “Silly”

Avoid at all cost

Tell the captain that you are not very well, are due to undergo gender realignment surgery, or flee the country.

If these excuses don’t work work this is what to expect.

Silly point. If you are quick on your feet, have good protective equipment and a bit of luck you may get away with a life changing injury.

Silly mid off. Write goodbye letters to all your friends.

Silly mid on. Commit suicide.
