Webster bowled 31. Spinning like a top.

In hindsight big mistake replacing Murphy with CC.

Aus 153 in front. Is it enough?

Jayasuriya bowling well - turn, loop and accuracy.

Big comeback from Sri lanka

 

[Decentric]

Looks a good all round prospect. Top score thanks very much.

J—k said from ground O’Connor over 50 now, when Vic were right on top.

Tassie essentially comprises local Tassies and NSW rejects!

Rejects who have often proved NSW selectors wrong - Jackson Bird, Ed Cowans, Doran, Neil-Smith, Nathan Ellis, Silk, Tim Ward, Radrikrishnan.

McMillan a former unwanted NSW offie about to bowl his spin.

Big comeback from Sri lanka

Massive 5 wickets this session!

Big comeback from Sri lanka

Richie and One Day Winners find spin from each end boring! In Tas members, we love it!

All out 414 - 6 poles for SL this session.

Jaya takes 6 wickets for innings!

 

[Decentric]

In summation Smith and Carey’s big tons were outstanding. Only Usman and Webster scored over 30 for rest of team.

 

[Decentric]

Vic pace attack impressive in Shield against Tas.

Just can’t believe Siddle at age 40? Looks just as quick as 10 years ago. Very good rhythm.

Very interested in O’Neill at age 24. Only same pace as Webster. Top wicket taker in Shield. Accurate.

Sutherland livelier, but with big grunt at delivery stride, it takes a bit out of him.

 

[Decentric]

For those who are watching SL quick Kumara, for the first time, he was an express bowler.

Last series in Aus both in Aus A games at Bellerive, and in Tests, he bowled at 140-144kph.

He has dropped to 130-139 kph.

 

[Decentric]

Nissanka - 2 superb drives, one off, one straight, off Starc in first over.

 

[grazorblade]

Sri Lanka probably need a 180 run lead to be ahead of the game

That's only 330 runs, not out of the question

 

[Decentric]

Matt K, now Tassie player, strikes in his first over, bowled off peg!

Nissanka gone.

SL’s Chandimal , star batter in series to date, at wicket.

Big ask as this wicket spins more.

 

[Decentric]

Richie, you would love Bellerive wicket - no spin bowled all day in Shield!

All day pace from both ends!

 

[Decentric]

Owen not playing for Tas, because he was playing T 20 in South African league. Don’t like it, but inside source said he will make 60 to $100 thousand dollars for 3 games!

A lot of money if you can slog!

 

[Decentric]

Matt K strikes!

DRS.

 

[Decentric]

Gone Karunaratne for 14! His last Test.

SL are 2-32.

In strife.

 

[Decentric]

The GOAT strikes as the Slug from Snug takes a superb catch!

3-47.

 

[Richie]

All day pace from both ends!

Yep because it was lively grassy pitch. Far too much in favor of the bowler.

3-47.

He has bucket hands like Cam green.

 

[Decentric]

He has bucket hands like Cam green.

He does.

It would be good having both in team for catching.

Head bowling much better than I expected.

CA need to tie him to Aussie white ball cricket otherwise he will lost to us in the plethora of T20 global franchises. Owen is better than a slogger DC.
