Well, well, well… that was an actual game of cricket. It may have taken two pretty ordinary matches for Sri Lanka to remember what a cricket bat should be used for but boy did they use it well last night. Well to be fair it was their captain, Shanaka, who proved that cricket bats can be much more than a vessel for delivering cricket balls to fielders.

The Australians batted first with Finch looking solid once again and Warner continuing to be Warner. Then came the familiar taste of Australian Apple Crumble as Maxwell fell for 16, followed by poor Josh Inglis who was run out for a first ball yucky ducky (look it up, it’s a thing). Stoinis was looking solid until he out-Hulked himself by looking to hit the ball back to Australia only to be  stumped after forgetting it’s best to hit the thing if you’re going to walk 3 metres down the pitch. What are they teaching kids in school nowadays?
