Sri Lanka v Australia, 3rd Test, Colombo (SSC), 13-17 August, 2016

What chance Aus actually shows some skill and grit in the dead rubber? Not much, I suspect.

esp if bog is selected.

Story inthe Age that Travis Head (SA) has been added to the touring squad.....hopefully his potential as a batsman is somewhere near his potential for really bad nicknames, but that's OK as long as he does the Job.....

I think he's still only in the ODI squad ... strange that he's been invited to attend early though.

Shaun Marsh in for Burns?

Alan Border is in Sri Lanka on the mike for Fox. Get him in for Ooze, as well.

Bradman would be as good as Koaja

Me neither...more likely they'll show shit and get grilled

hahahaha at FN...both FN and Skully are spot on.

sounds like Burns will be dropped for the bog and Holland will return home to practice for Grade Cricket....well some non wozzie/dubbers have to pay.

and from a tame interview with Mere Marsh on the CA site...

..."since making a career-high 87 in his debut series against Pakistan in spin friendly conditions in the UAE two years ago, (that has remained) the sole half-century of his 17-match Test career to date."...

Did not realise his performance was that poor. Still the CA hack opines, he is the only one of the top 6 to have reached double figures in each dig!

He really does occupy the Ksnr memorial spot in the team.

Lanka win the toss again and bat. Bog in for Monty and Reeks FFS for Ooze.

...and the mediocrity of Mitch Marsh will be allowed to continue.

Aye, it's a very rubbish top 6 now.

Tweek

Vin ordinaire.

Looks a flat deck. No movement in the air.

Koo gets Silva for a gozza slashing at a wide one. 1-2.

Elmer on after just 2 overs from Hazy.

Perera looks dangerous.

Huzzah!! Elmer removes Perera caught at 1st slip. 2-21.

Beauty!! Koo rattles Karunaratne's stumps off the inside edge. 3-23.

You little ripper!!! Flange top-edges a sweep to Koo at deep fine leg. 4-24.

2 to Koo (who has removed Karunaratne all 5 times this series) and 2 to Elmer.

Holy shit!!! Koo removes Mendis, caught st 3rd slip. 5-26.

Given, but reviewed.

No inside edge. Not out.

Outside edge off Holland squirts past Tweek at 1st slip. 50 up.
