I fielded at silly mid-on, but only to 2 of our bowlers, they were spot on and bowled a good length, which is essential to continued good health. I never wore pads and probably should have worn a helmet, especially 2 days after getting out of hospital and surgery on a depressed fracture of the cheek, (but rarely did).
And only going to spin more.
Vandersay back on and gets a lot of spin straight away.
Think Starc is just chilling in the dressing room watching his wife play?
Haydenâs score vs Zimbabwe might get a nudge at this rate.
I had no idea SL were this pitiful. Reckon that embarrassing bunch of misfits South Africa sent out here a few years ago would give them a run for their moneyâŚ
To be fair Sri Lanka have actually played some good test cricket the last year without the results, but yeah pretty underwhelming bowling performance albeit on a road
Yeah, I kinda had the impression they were doing OK, but this has been⌠inept.
Terrible umpiring. Plumb.
No idea how thatâs not given out live.
Cmon Joshie!!
Umpires have said not out to every appeal so far.
The only thing might have saved Smith was the bounce, which wasnât there. The ball just went straight on with the arm and through the gate, a good nut from Vandersay. Aus 3/401. Inglis in.
England 3/64 at tea.
Very lazy umpiring there.
The great wall of Smith falls as Inglis smashes his first ball across the boundary.
Smith now dismissed five times in the 140s.
How many reverse sweep runs Khawaja make this innings? Half his score?
He has an issue and he needs to work on itâŚ
Yes !! Keep it up Nice start. Have I mentioned that I really like this guy?
King is going to get someone bowled any time soon.
Usman now on his highest scoreâŚ
He has an unusual stance, crouches very low, making a good start in the easiest of conditions.
