Is Sri Lanka even trying?

They are really good cricket players. So much talent and I cringe when I say it, but it is what it is.

A lot of them are old though, they might struggle again in a few years like they did in the 2010s.

Its a very flat pitch. Have to see both sides batting. Only one to fail so far is good old marnus.

Gotta to feel for konstas . Gets to play vs bumrah then dropped for this wicket.

Same could be said for mcsweeney. I dont think anyone expected this flat pitch, even australia opened with head.

SL are not much competition, SA beat them quite easily in November.

We did not beat them how Australia are beating them in their own home. Jayasuriya normally picks up wickets for fun in galle.

I am very surprised that we are third.

 

[cavedog]

Covers rushed on but the Aussies have done serious damage to Sri Lanka. 44/3 it's not looking good.

We'll be second after this series. Aussies spinners appear to be quality.

 

[cavedog]

I'm sure Sri Lanka is happy to see a bit of rain. A win by an innings is not yet off the table for Australia to be honest.

 

[Creag]

I read somewhere that there is rain predicted for tomorrow in SL. I so want to see this one reach an positive outcome

sri lanka getting humiliated

sri lanka getting humiliated

Yeah it's bad

 

[cavedog]

It's almost over Sri Lanka.

 

[RunningFromFat]

Sri lanka really disappointed me, was looking forward to this test

Yeah at home make a fight of it but bowling very poor and shot selection even worse.

I haven't watched but see Aus pacers hardly bowled a ball all match. Is the pitch a dust bowl?
