Damn, a ton would've been a great boost for Hughes

Clarke should have been gone. Had they reviewed the decision.

Sri Lankans would be spewing They didn't use DRS for Pup. Would have meant getting rid of Pup and exposing Wade 6/Johnson 7 with 100 runs behind.

Clarke has become the elite bat who absolutely punishes you when you don't take any chance he gives you. Getting him out once is hard enough.

Yup. You can only imagine Alim Dar said there was an inside edge.

Re: Third Test- Aus V Sri Lanka, The SCG

Wade is really struggling with the gloves. I can tolerate not being a great keeper if your average is above 40. Wade's struggles with the gloves + moving to 6 would be putting a fair bit of pressure on his batting.

A bad time to slide too for Wade. Especially when Paine is looking sharp. Watched him in a few big bash games and his keeping is pretty switched on, and his batting is heading in the right direction since his injuries.
I guess Wade does have youth on his side if there was a switch made, and the experience he is getting is pretty valuable......Having said that he is building a bit of a tail wag with Sid.

Another ridiculous run out, wouldn't be an Australian innings without one. For a bloke who apparently covets his spot, Cowan is stupidly lazy

I'm starting to wonder if Cowan will be the first Batsman dropped due to running between the wickets form is unacceptable?
I don't mind the guy batting in the Test team, but his work when off strike is absolutely atrocious.

Re: Third Test- Aus V Sri Lanka, The SCG

Never understood the logic of picking 5 frontline bowlers.
One always doesn't get enough work in as a rule.
This all rounder obsession continues, with Johnson thinking he's an all rounder and playing against his natural aggressive game.
Almost as staggering as not bowling Herath in the first session.

Matthew Wade demonstrating the lost art of a test match knock. He has been scrappy at times, gave a tough chance but he has kept on going. Has only started batting aggressively now the number 11 is in.

Just insane. Easily their best bowler and can bowl all day.

Well deserved century.

Re: Third Test- Aus V Sri Lanka, The SCG

Sensational finish from Wade to get to his century. Shades of Mike Hussey a few years ago.

Aggressive declaration from Clarke.

Re: Third Test- Aus V Sri Lanka, The SCG

Great to see Wade stick it to people like Geoff "NSW" Lawson.
He was rabbiting on about a young up and comer called Brad Haddin yesterday.
Time to move on, surely!

The good and the bad today, shelled another off Lyon

Re: Third Test- Aus V Sri Lanka, The SCG

Our bowlers are looking average today. Do they actually bowl to a plan or do they just wing it?

Re: Third Test- Aus V Sri Lanka, The SCG

Australia should be chasing under 100 to win this...the sri lanka tail could crumble.
