Australia tour of Sri Lanka (July-September 2016)

[AliB]

It's simple Aussies can't win in Asia and Asian teams can't win in Australia.The Last Team with a good away record was RSA but that period is gone.

That's a truth of the current generation. Except playing in the WI/ZIM, no team is beatable at home ciurrently.

 

[CerealKiller]

MA Starc (Aus) 17 wickets @ 13.47
NM Lyon (Aus) 9 wickets @ 30.88
JR Hazlewood (Aus) 7 wickets @ 20.57
SNJ O'Keefe (Aus) 3 wickets @ 24.66
MR Marsh (Aus) 2 wickets @ 35.00
JM Holland (Aus) 2 wickets @ 66.50

Bird in for Holland/Lyon ?

Do you really think you'll get a seam friendly pitch? Going with only one spinner would be a suicide.

True

PS: I Don't think Bangla is great in test cricket even at home ..[DOUBLEPOST=1470399002][/DOUBLEPOST]

Seam Friendly or not .

Starc and Hazlewood gave a tough time to SriLanka

26 Wickets for Pacers
14 Wickets for Spinners

and btw you haven't won a test series outside India in the last 6 year.

Sri Lanka 2015 and if you wait patiently till August end, you will get one more in West Indies.

so yeah it's awkward that an Indian is making fun of us.

It's never awkward to make fun of Australia.

Sorry i think i mixed Sub Continent and India but that was a series win after 5 years outside India wasn't it ?

No Problem in that but making fun of us for not winning a series outside Aus is a very stupid thing considering India Overseas Record is worse than us

4 years mate. Your math is as weak as Australia's batting against spin.

The point is I don't know why you have brought up India's overseas record in a thread about Australia and Sri Lanka.

India Overseas Record is worse than us

Head to head previous Series
2013 Border-Gavaskar Trophy(India). 4-0 (All one-sided wins).
2014/15 Border-Gavaskar Trophy(Australia). 0-2(Gave a tough time in the two we lost).

He posted those stats because you were talking about Sri Lanka being a divison 2 test team. When the fact is every team has been a poor traveller in recent years apart from South Africa who are now also heading in the same direction.

Ali and I agreed on that before you posted this

 

[Akshay.]

[Umair7]
