Australian tour of Sri Lanka

[Bill Manspeaker]

got there. good work boys. 4-1

[ossie85]

Well done boys on 4-1, clearly the best ODI team in the world still - won easily even when they didn't play that well. Bailey will HAVE to be considered for Indian tests - the worst that can happen is he doesn't score anything, and I think our current test batsmen aren't gonna do much more than that anyway.

Look, t20 is my least favourite format of cricket, but Australia needs to start treating it with respect.

AGAIN Australia have a cobbled together t20 team (though some of it is due to injury in fairness).
