Test Cricket is Best Cricket
Happy to see Australia show a bit of faith in Swepson even though the start to his Test career has been a bit naff. Rewarded them with two-in-two as well

I am not confident about Sri Lanka's batting once Mathews retires.
And why is Chandimal batting at 6, below Dhananjaya de Silva?

Because Dhananjaya de Silva had a very good season last year unlike Chandimal who has been really inconsistent?

Sri Lanka making Travis Head look like the second coming of Murali.

They woke up and decided 20/20.

Well a 3-Day Test to start off things!! Worry for India and Sri Lanka as far as WTC is concerned!

this gives me hope that Pakistan should be able to win their series in Sri Lanka... but knowing Pakistan they'll somehow find a way to lose... but I have a little more hope than usual

Feel bad for the bloke though, after so much hype and prep to just see it all wash away because the Lankans couldn’t handle Head’s grenades.

So Australia might actually play Maxi in as a specialist finisher/third spinner if the same conditions persist for the second test in place of Starc. Honestly, I have no idea about this. I can see the rationale for not requiring Starc if the pitch behaves the same as you could get a few overs from Green at the start and the Lankans seem really poor at playing spin for odd reasons at the moment.
I'd then go with this XI I suppose
Warner
Ussie
Labu
Smith
Green
Head
Maxi
Carey
Cummins
Lyon
Sweppo
But let's all be honest, they're not going to bat Green above Head are they? Despite them being perfectly suited to the other's batting position in the current lineup because all-rounders apparently should bat below the specialist batsmen.

Looks like the Sri Lankans are playing spin more patiently in this game aided by a more docile pitch of course.
And of course as I post this the captain’s gone with Sweppo getting the breakthrough.
Still wonder why he’s bowled the least number of overs so far though. There’s plenty in him to be a valuable player if backed properly. Would love to see him play more games and bowl more overs.

Get this guy in there.
Ramiz Raja busy on the line with Jay Shah to organize an Indian tour of Pakistan with this hypothesis as we speak.

He’s been an absolute madman with his constant sweeps alongside Green. Feel like Carey game is best suited to these conditions and he could cement his legacy by being crucial in this overseas cycle.
