Head in a Spin as Aussies Smite Sri Lanka

Head in a Spin as Aussies Smite Sri Lanka

I should make it clear upfront that I am taking legal action against the Australian Test Cricket team for finishing a game that I could have spent another 2 and half days watching. Not to mention my loss of income from coverage of the rest of the game. I mean you can only imagine how much money this site turns over in a day. Actually you can stop imagining that. Regardless, what a wild ride those two and a half days of cricket played were. Australia literally smoked Sri Lanka with their own pipe (taking me back to my university days). The big worry coming into this series was around how well the Australian’s could deal with spin on turning pitches. As it turns out the sandal was truly on the host’s foot.

Head struggled with the spinning wicket and gifted de Silva a “c” and a “b” (maybe they’re Words with Friends buddies). Khawaja went on in his nonchalant way, continuing to deliver discrete instructions to the ball via his willow (not a euphemism). That was until he popped up a Vandersay delivery into the skilful hands of Nissanka who took a mighty fine close in catch. The sight of Khawaja walking off would have given many Australian fans a case of the giddies as the middle order was suddenly exposed like the backend of an elderly patient in an ill-tied hospital gown.

The Australian’s ploy of eschewing a spin heavy bowling unit seemed to have worked, with Sri Lanka being kept to a seemingly achievable total of 258. But you know what happens when you assume something – it makes an ass out of u and me and the Australian mens cricket team.

Well, well, well, what do we have here? Just when you thought Travis Head played a match winning knock, Pathum Nissanka comes along and schools everyone as to what a match winning knock actually looks like. Not to mention Kusul Mendis’ wonderful innings which only ended with him being forced to retire hurt. The Aussies clearly needed another 30 runs or so, which in hindsight makes their steady as she goes approach in the middle overs look a little our previous governments approach to climate change – “we’ll sort it out when it gets really hot”.

It’s Just a Flesh Wound – Australian Injury List Grows

Another day of the Sri Lankan tour, another Australian injury. Marcus Stoinis is the latest in a long line after suffering from a side strain in the 1st ODI. Did side strains exist before professional cricket? Can you get a front strain? I’ve definitely heard of bottom strains. Stoinis joins Ashton Agar, Mitch Marsh, Mitchell Starc, Kane Richardson and Sean Abbott on the team stretcher. Suss much? I’m starting to wonder if some of the Australian A boys are behind this. I mean sometimes you have to make your own opportunities right?
