We have to wait for the Poms to tour to really get our averages up. The minnows usually put up a better fight in Australia than what England does

The recap of what is going on is definitely not pre scripted for this Scotland vs Australia lead in.
It was like the intergalactic cable ads in Rick and Morty.
Scotland win the toss and will bowl.
Scotland five changes.
Aus: Hardie in, Meredith out
Head bowled for a golden. Aus 1/16 after 1.5 overs.
Thatās Trav for you. Itās either 50 or a Goldie
To be fair, it was a decent ball to get first up.
This has a real village cricket feel to it.
4 = Chelsea Dagger
6 = Shake it Off
I think.
Some knock by Inglis. 100 of 43
We havenāt changed our pitches and balls to pump up our batsmens averages, though.
Josh can play
Brought back memories thatās for sure!
Comfortable win in Game 3 to claim the series sweep. The Aussies really enjoyed this trip and sounds like it was a huge success so can see them pushing to do it again in the future
Wasnāt a success for JFM
In fact he has not had a good time of it since he ābroke outā last year.
Poms looking likely now to lose Test #3 to SL , after a second innings debacle that has been roundly condemned as idiotic by British cricket media. Sri Lanka need 60-odd to win with 8 wickets in hand on a day 4 pitch.
But itās not about winning Sal! Itās about entertaining
100 to Pathum Nissanka. Sri Lanka need 41
