Australia tour of Sri Lanka (July-September 2016)

[Umair7]

Last 20, just 6 wins - holds true for NZ too. So I guess they should be vying for the Division 2 spot as well?


SL is going through an extended transitional phase and have still managed a couple of overseas wins. I don't see how they are on the same level as Bangladesh, Zimbabwe and West Indies

NZ have recently improved a lot but i hope that Lanka improves too soon

Wow, never thought Australia would be this weak in Sri Lanka. Based back in 2011, Aus won 1-0 (3) so I was saying that based on this. In India and Pakistan/UAE, you'd expect Austraila to struggle, but in Sri Lanka, some pitches do faster fast bowling while the rest spin friendly. (Seamer friendly some cause otherwise, why would Binny play at the P Sara Oval last year?) Subcontinent always brings the worst of the Aus team

We are like Pakistan in Asia
Our Misbah is Smith! Bowling is fine !

We? I think you are reffering to Australia bowling stocks, right? Ok, well Australia's batsmen in the subcontinent fail to produce, while India and Pakistan are experts of spin, completely beat the rips the heart of the Aus bowling

Pakistan are not entirely bad playing outside of Asia. They are doing better than India when they toured in 2014

Gee Australia was looking good until Warner got out. Still think Sri Lanka got a good total. Can't see Australia getting 300 unfortunately.

Sorry I meant Asia. By BOOM, you mean Afridi, right? Afridi is the most brainless and stupidest crikceter Pakistan and the whole world has seen

Well, this is the third Test outside Asia we've played for over 3 and a half years, so there isn't much evidence of what you said.

Even in UAE Misbah have saved Pakistan many times plus just look at your ODI side it is struggling ever since Misbah have left There is a reason why the Pakistani selectors don't want Misbah to retire
