Australia and Pakistan in ding dong battle in a MCG Test cliff- hanger. – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE. (eLanka Sports editor) Pakistan’s bowlers made the Test series interesting by rolling Australia for 318 as seven wickets fell for 133 throwing open the challenge to their batters to take the Boxing day contest to a real fight. Pakistan’s pace quartet were sharp, mostly accurate and deserved greater success if they held onto their chances which would have made Australia’s tally much less than it was. Also erratic bowling at times cost them precious runs that could have made it interesting. The extra bounce gave away too many runs over the wicket-keeper to the boundary. Australia for once, looked all at sea as they struggled to come to grips with a focused Pakistan attack that appears to have new belief in themselves. Pakistan in reply looked set to take control as ...

He joins Shane Warne and Glenn McGrath in the elite company. The comprehensive thrashing was fashioned on the lead of 450 runs as Australia’s batters accelerated to 233 for 5 on a wicket that was deteriorating ...

Can Sri Lanka’s home-ground advantage unsettle Australia? Source:theroar.com.au Sri Lanka will ascertain their true strength against the rampant Australians fresh from a successful tour of Pakistan. Both teams are currently basking in the glory of series triumphs over Pakistan and Bangladesh away from home, making the outcome of the current two-Test series a defining moment in the Test Championship rankings. While the tour raises questions about its priority in a country suffering from impending bankruptcy and civil unrest due to political bungling and mismanagement, Sri Lanka Cricket believes it is a justified decision to go ahead due to the revenue it will generate. The cricket board has pledged a substantial sum of dollars generated from the games towards urgent medical requirements the country is unable to purchase due to the current crisis. Sri Lanka Cricket secretary Mohan De Silva is quoted as saying it will also create a much needed ...

Ashes opener axed, Maxwell’s exile extended as Aussies name Test squad – by Christy Doran Source:foxsports.com.au Australia have named a 16-man Test squad for their upcoming series against Sri Lanka, with opener Marcus Harris axed and no room found for Glenn Maxwell. While there were reports that Maxwell — the short-ball specialist who has played seven Tests — would be parachuted back into the squad for the first time since 2017, Australia’s three-person selection panel rewarded the members that did the job in Pakistan in March. Instead, spinners Nathan Lyon and Mitchell Swepson, who both featured prominently in Pakistan, as well as bowling all-rounder Ashton Agar have been selected. All-rounder Mitch Marsh will provide back-up for Cameron Green, while Scott Boland is the spare seamer selected. Nor is Maxwell in the Australian A side, with the batting all-rounder to instead feature in the short-form Australian side, with national chair selector, ...

Sri Lanka face uphill task against smarting Aussies – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE Sri Lanka’s mission to the Southern hemisphere appears to be on a tragic course if the results in New Zealand are any indication. They left empty handed after a winless tour in all formats and life for them appears bleaker as they take on an Australian team smarting from a historic whitewash at home at the hands of the high riding Indians. While Sri Lanka’s aspirations are more in hope of improvement due to the immaturity in the current squad, the Kiwis and Aussies are proud defenders at home and are uncompromising against all-comers in battle. The Sri Lankans feature in their first Pink ball Test at the Gabba in Brisbane on February 24 before travelling to Manuka Oval in Canberra for their final encounter which is incidentally the first Test in the Australian ...
