Never seen better than Bumrah as far as fast bowlers go @pops.
India pretty shabby without him.
Pant and Jaiswal were good.

Great result in game one of the ashes today.Don’t really follow the Big Bash but saw this and had to laugh. Great grandstand catch, automatic reaction, but then realises it’s his son getting hit out of the park. His wife’s reaction is hilarious.

A whirlwind 50 from the head and a couplA tons, nice start.No spot for the young opener even though he is on tour.A learning experience for him.

No Pat, must be resting.SandPaper Steve gets a gig as captain.

Loving the glimpses of little lines of swell wrapping around the headland outside the cricket ground in Galle. First time i can remember seeing surf next to a major sports stadium.?
Great knocks by Uzi, Smitty and Inglis on debut.

Theres beach breaks beside Win Stadium in the Gong.

We closed in Galle at 654/6....got them 44/3 right now.We have a couple of new bowlers that I dont recognise their names .Todd Murphy/Matt kuhnemann BOTH spinners.First time I remember a test team with 3 spinners(apart from the batters who can bowl spin)When the sydneee test wicket took a lot of spin, Warney and Magilla both played..Never see 3 picked,espescially when TravisHead and SteveSmith can both spin it.As well as the new 6, he bowls medium pace and spin.

Great to see a big score from Uzi, Smithers beating his 10k hoodoo and Josh Inglis scoring a ton.
Sri Lanka now 5 fer. Great time to watch over a few beers after work.
The girls are doing a great job grinding England into the dust.
